Total Points:
This exercise elaborates on the 4 examples of section 1.4 of Proakis’s textbook 4 th edition.
1. (18%) Variation of Example 1.4.1
Example 1.4.1 on pages 23 and 24 discuss the two different analog signals

x 1(t) = cos 2(10)t, and x2(t) = cos 2 (50)t, sampled at rate Fs = 40 Hz.

The two different analog signals have identical discrete signals x 1(n) = x2(n) since cos () = cos ().
(a) (6%) Recalculate x1(n) and x2(n) for a different sample rate F s = 30 Hz. Simplify this so that

(b) (6%) Recalculate x1(n) and x2(n) for a different sample rate F s = 60 Hz. Simplify this so that

(c) (6%) Recalculate x1(n) and x2(n) for a different sample rate F s = 90 Hz. Simplify this so that


(d) ** (10%) extra credit. What did you observe? Did x1(n) = x2(n) in any of (a), (b), or (c)? Can you
find out why?

2. (18%) Variation of Example 1.4.2 (pp. 25 and 26). In example 1.4.2, you see that the analog signal
xa(t) = 3 cos 100 t was used to calculate the Nyquist rate (to avoid aliasing) in part (a), and then
discrete time signal was sampled at Fs = 200 Hz in part (b), and then discrete time signal was
calculated at Fs = 75 Hz (in part (c)) and finally in part (d) a sinusoid was calculated to produce
sample identical to that of (c). It turns out answer of (d) is 3 cos 50  t, which is different from the
original signal 3 cos 100 t.

(a) (6%) Redo (c) & (d) of this example with Fs = 60 Hz. What f, F, and ya(t) do you calculate?
(b) (6%) Redo (c) & (d) of this example with a bigger Fs = 90 Hz. What f, F, and ya(t) do you
calculate?
(c) (6%) Redo (c) & (d) of this example with a smaller Fs = 30 Hz. What f, F, and ya(t) do you
calculate?
 (d) ** (10%) extra credit. What do you observe happens with bigger Fs or smaller Fs in part (c) and
(d) of Example 1.4.2
3. (18%) Variation of example 1.4.4 (pp. 29 and 30). In that example, xa(t) = 3 cos 2000 t + 5 sin
(6000t) + 10 cos (12000t).
Note this example and also example 1.4.3 provide signals with sine (example 1.4.1 and example 1.4.2 are
both in cosine only).
Calculation was done using Fs = 5K samples / sec and aliases were observed.
(a) (9%) Redo this example with a higher sampling rate such as 10K samples / second
(b) (9%) Redo this example with a lower sampling rate such as 2K samples / second
(c) (15%) ** Try with a few more higher sampling rates and also with a few more lower sampling
rates. What do you observe?

Extra credit questions

EC1. (12%) Redo example 1.4.1 and also Q1 (a), (b), (c) (or also (d)) with the signals changed to x 1(t) =
sin 2(10)t, and x2(t) = sin 2 (50)t, sampled at rate Fs = 40 Hz.
EC2. (12%)
(a) (3%) In Q1 (a), (b), (c), did you notice at least one more part with x1(n) = x2(n) (discrete
sampling the same with some sampling rate)?
(b) (9% +). Can you find 4, 5 or more sampling rates for example 1.4.1 that x1(n) = x2(n)? Explain!
