where M and L are integer parameter with 0 < L ≤ N − 1, 0 < M ≤ N .

Choose the correct statements among the choices below.

If M = N and 2L < N , the signal has exactly L periods for 0 ≤ n < N

In general, it will be easier to compute the norm of the signal ∥x∥2 in the Fourier domain, using the Parseval's Identity.

The DFT X[k] has two elements di erent from zero if N = M and N ≠ 2L.

9.
(Di culty: ⋆⋆) Pick the correct sentence(s) among the following ones regarding the DFT X of a signal x of length N , where N is
odd.

Remember the following de nitions for an arbitrary signal (asterisk denotes conjugation):

hermitian-symmetry: x[0] real and x[n] = x[N − n]∗ for n = 1, … , N − 1.

hermitian-antisymmetry: x[0] = 0 and x[n] = −x[N − n]∗ for n = 1, … , N − 1.

If the signal x is hermitian-symmetric, then its DFT is real.

If the signal x is hermitian-symmetric, then the DFT X is also hermitian-symmetric.

If the signal x is purely real, then the DFT X is purely imaginary.

If the signal x is hermitian antisymmetric, then its DFT X is purely imaginary.
