Objectives:

1) Studding the effect of sampling in the frequency domain

2) Determining Nyquist rate of a signal
3) What is meant by Band-limited signal
4) Studding aliasing phenomenon.

Preparation: (15 mins)

Before you perform step2, check the presence of the function dtft.m in the current folder.

Procedure:

Step 1: A sinc analog signal in duration [-10ms, 10ms] is presented in time and frequency
domains

Open a new script file and write down. (15 Minutes)

% Analog signal
syms t x f
T = 1e-3; % 1ms
x = sinc(1/T * t)
X(w) = fourier(x);
X(f) = subs(X,'w','2*pi*f');
subplot(2,1,1),ezplot(x,[-10*T,10*T]),grid on,axis([-10*T,10*T,-0.3,1]);
title('Time Domain'),xlabel('Time in sec');
subplot(2,1,2),ezplot(abs(X),[-2e3,2e3]),grid on,title('Amplitude Spectrum');
xlabel('Frequency Domain'),xlabel('Frequency in Hz');

After you execute the above script, an analog signal,x, is created with its corresponding CTFT, X.

Q1) Draw the SINC signal, showing the time duration of the main lobe and the
maximum frequency of the signal.
Q2) What is the Nyquist rate for the SINC signal?

Step2: The effects of sampling of analog signal in the frequency domain: (15 mins)

Now, lets try to sample the analog signal, x, with different sampling frequency, Fs, and check the
spectrum of the discrete signal resulted from the sampling process.

Fs = 750 %Hz
n_neg = (-10e-3*Fs:-1);
n_pos = (1:10e-3*Fs);
n = [n_neg 0 n_pos];
x_instant = [subs(x,n_neg/Fs) 1 subs(x,n_pos/Fs)];
omega = linspace(-6*pi,6*pi,501);
X_DTFT = dtft(x_instant,n,omega);
subplot(3,1,1);stem(n/Fs,x_instant), hold on;
ezplot(x,[-10e-3,10e-3]),axis([-10e-3,10e-3,-0.3,1]);
subplot(3,1,2), plot(omega/(2*pi),abs(X_DTFT)); % normalized Frequency axis f
axis([-3,3,0,6]), grid on;
subplot(3,1,3), plot(omega/(2*pi),abs(X_DTFT)); % normalized axis f zoomed
axis([-0.5,0.5,0,6]), grid on;

Try sample the analog signal with 5000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 1000 Hz, 750 Hz, and check the spectrum.

Q3) Fill the table
