Ins: This question paper consists of nine questions in three pages. All questions are
compulsory. The credits are shown at the right hand margin.
1. (a) Illustrate the A-to-D and D-to-A signal conversion protocol.
“A bandlimited continuous-time signal, with highest frequency (bandwidth) B Hertz, can be
uniquely recovered from its samples provided that the sampling rate F, >2B sample per second.”
~ Justify the validity of the statement in the light of Shannon’s Sampling Theorem.

(b) Consider the following analog sinusoidal signal:
, (0) = 3sin(100z¢)
(i) Sketch the signal x,(t) for 0<1<30 ms.
(ii) The signal x,(¢)is sampled with a sampling rate F, =300 samples/s. Determine the
frequency of the discrete-time signal x(n)=x,(nT), T=1/F,, and show that it is periodic.
(iil) Compute the sample values in one period orx(n). Sketch x(n)on the same diagram
with x, (t). What is the period of the discrete-time signal in milliseconds?
(iv) Can you find a sampling rate F, such that the signal x(n) reaches its peak value of 3?
What is the minimum F, suitable for this task?

“A seismic trace represents a convolution model which is a pure feedback system. Hence there
exits a Stable inverse system’ — justify the validity of this statement with reference to a three-layer
earth model such that the delay in each layer is the same. For simplicity assume a unit spike as the
source in your illustration and construct the corresponding feed forward sequence.

3. a) Using the Toepliz recursion process and Hilbert transform bring out the underlying principle of
frequency domain Whitening Deconvolution. How the Signature Deconvolution filter is designed
based on Weiner-Hopf Optimum filter equation? How the Predictive/Gapped Deconvolution filter
is designed based on the same principle? Also define the prediction error filter.
b) Consider the following set of wavelets:
Wavelet A: (3, -2, 1)
Wavelet B: (1, -2, 3)
(i) Plot the percent cumulative energy as a function of time delay.
(ii) Set up matrix equation for each wavelet, compute the Spiking Deconvolution operators,
and then apply them,

4. (a) Convolve [2, 5, - 2, 1] with (6, - 1, -1]
a Cross-correlate [2, 5, - 2, 1] with [6, - 1, - 1]. For what shift are these functions most nearly
alike?
fe Convolve [2, 5, - 2, 1] with [-1, -1, 6] and compare with the answer in (b). Explain the difference.

(d) Autocorrelate (6, - 1, -1] and [3, - 5, -2]. The autocorrelation of a function is not unique to that
function, for example, other wavelets that have the same autocorrelations as the preceding are
