3- Given the digital system

a-
b-

c-

d-

e-

With a sampling rate of 8,000 Hz,

a- determine the frequency response;

b- calculate and plot the magnitude and phase frequency responses;

c- determine the filter type based the magnitude frequency response.

Solution

a- Taking the z-transform on both sides on the difference equation leads to

Then the transfer function describing the system is easily found to be

It is observed that when the frequency increases, the magnitude response decreases. The DSP
system acts like a digital low-pass filter, and its phase response is linear.
