along with their operations in your own words.

0 otherwise.

Q.4 (a) Find the Hilbert transform of cos(2πfm t).

(b) If the Hilbert transform of a signal x(t) is represented by xh (t), then what
would the Hilbert transform of xh (t) in terms of x(t)?

Q.5 For message signal x(t) = B sinc(πBt) with B = 1000 Hz and carrier signal of
frequency 10 kHz, do the following tasks

(a) Sketch spectrum of signal x(t) and DSB-SC signal 2x(t) cos(2πfc t).
(b) Find the LSB spectrum by suppressing the USB spectrum from the DSB-
SC spectrum.
(c) Find the corresponding time domain representation of the LSB spectrum.

Q.6 In a QCM system, the locally generated carrier has a frequency error ∆f and
a phase error ∆φ, that is the receiver carrier is cos(2π(fc + ∆f )t + ∆φ) or
sin(2π(fc + ∆f )t + ∆φ). Show that the output of the upper branch and the
lower branch receivers are

xI (t) cos(2π∆f t + ∆φ) − xQ sin(2π∆f t + ∆φ)

and
xI (t) sin(2π∆f t + ∆φ) + xQ cos(2π∆f t + ∆φ)
instead of xI (t) and xQ (t), respectively.
