Q2.

Recall the definition of DFT:

$ X[k]=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]e^{-j2\pi k/N} $

In this question N=8

If we use summation formula to compute DFT, for each k, we need N times complex multiplications and N times complex additions.

In total, we need N*N=64 times of complex multiplications and N*(N-1)=56 times of complex additions.

In decimation-in-time FFT algorithm, we keep on decimating the number of points by 2 until we get 2 points DFT. At most, we can decimate $ v=log_2 N $ times. As a result, we get v levels of DFT. For each level, we need N/2 times of complex multiplications and N times of complex additions.

In total, we need $ \frac{N}{2}log_2 N=12 $ times of complex multiplications and $ Nlog_2 N=24 $ times of complex additions.


Q3.

Denote N is the points number of the input signal's DFT. Then N=6.

1) The normal DFT algorithm: If we use summation formula to compute DFT, according to the analysis of Q2. We need N*N=36 times of complex multiplications and N*(N-1)=30 times of complex additions.

Analytical Expressions:

$ \begin{align} X_N(k)&=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}} \\ &\text{Change variable n=2m+l, m=0,1,2; l=0,1 } \\ X_N(k)&=\sum_{l=0}^{1}\sum_{m=0}^{2}x(2m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi k(2m+l)}{N}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{1}e^{-\frac{j2\pi kl}{N}}\sum_{m=0}^{2}x(2m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi km)}{N/2}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{1}W_N^{kl}X_l(k) \text{ ,k=0,1,...,N-1 } \end{align} $

In this FFT algorithm, the computing of DFT is divided into two levels. First, we compute two 3-point DFT, which are DFT of even and odd points.

In this step we need 4 times of complex multiplications and 6 times of complex additions for each 3-point DFT. Since we have to do this twice, we need 4*2=8 times of complex multiplications and 6*2=12 times of complex additions.

Second, we compute the final DFT by combing the first level result. According to the analysis of Q2, we need N/2=3 times of complex multiplications and N=6 times of complex additions.

In total, we need 8+3=11 times of complex multiplications and 12+6=18 times of complex additions.

2)

Flow diagram of FFT:

Analytical Expressions:

$ \begin{align} X_N(k)&=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}} \\ &\text{Change variable n=3m+l, m=0,1; l=0,1,2 } \\ X_N(k)&=\sum_{l=0}^{2}\sum_{m=0}^{1}x(3m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi k(3m+l)}{N}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{2}e^{-\frac{j2\pi kl}{N}}\sum_{m=0}^{1}x(3m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi km}{N/3}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{2}W_N^{kl}X_l(k) \text{ ,k=0,1,...,N-1 } \end{align} $

In this FFT algorithm, the computing of DFT is still divided into two levels. However, we will first compute three 2 points DFT, which are DFT of the first half points and the second half points. According to analysis of Q2, we need N/2=3 times of complex multiplications and N=6 times of complex additions.

Second, we compute the two 3 points DFT using first level result. we need 4 times of complex multiplications and 6 times of complex additions for each 3-point DFT. Since we have to do this twice, we need 4*2=8 times of complex multiplications and 6*2=12 times of complex additions.

In total, we need 3+8=11 times of complex multiplications and 6+12=18 times of complex additions.

Notice that the output sequences of DFT of 2) is different from 1).

Compare 1) and 2), both methods have the same amount of complex operations.

$ 5120=5*1024=5*2^{10} $ So we can split the 5120-point DFT into 5 1024-point DFTs using decimation-in-time and compute the 1024-point DFT using the subroutine of radix 2 FFT.

Analytical expression:

$ \begin{align} X^{(5120)}(k)&=\sum_{n=0}^{5119} x(n)e^{-\frac{j2\pi kn}{5120}} \\ &\text{Change variable n=5m+l, m=0,1,...,1023; l=0,1,...,4 } \\ X^{(5120)}(k)&=\sum_{l=0}^{4}\sum_{m=0}^{1023}x(5m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi k(5m+l)}{5120}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{4}e^{-\frac{j2\pi kl}{5120}}\sum_{m=0}^{1023}x(5m+l)e^{-\frac{j2\pi km}{1024}} \\ &=\sum_{l=0}^{4}W_{5120}^{kl}X_l^{(1024)}(k) \text{ ,k=0,1,...,5119 } \end{align} $

Direct computation requires N*N=5120*5120=26214400 times of complex multiplications and N*(N-1)=5120*5119=26209280 times of complex additions.

Using FFT we first perform five 1024-point FFTs, which each require $ \frac{N}{2}log_2 N=512*10=5120 $ complex multiplications and $ Nlog_2 N=1024*10=10240 $ complex additions.

To calculate each of the 5120 final output of the 5120 DFT, we have to perform 5 complex multiplications and 4 complex additions. So we need 5120*5= 25600 times of complex multiplications and 5120*4=20480 times of complex additions.

For the FFT based method we have a total of 5120+25600=30720 complex multiplications and 10240+20480=30720 complex addtions.

By compare the two methods, we see that FFT based method is far more efficient than the direct computation.


Q5.

First, consider obtaining DFT from a finite duration signal.

$ \bar x[n] $ is a discrete finite signal with duration N.

i.e. $ \bar x[n]=0 \text{ when n} \ge N $

$ \bar \mathcal{X}(\omega) $ is the DTFT of $ \bar x[n] $

$ x_p[n] $ is the periodical extension of $ \bar x[n] $ with a period P

i.e. $ x_p[n]=\sum_{l=-\infty}^{\infty}\bar x[n+lP] $

Then we can compute DFT by $ X[k]=\bar \mathcal{X}(k\frac{2\pi}{P})=\sum_{n=0}^{P-1}x[n]e^{-j\frac{2\pi kn}{P}} \text{ k=0,1,...,P-1} $

In order to fully construct DTFT from DFT, we must have $ P\ge N $

Consider reconstruction DTFT from DFT.

Observe

$ \begin{align} \bar \mathcal{X}(\omega)&=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\bar x[n]e^{-j\omega n} \\ &=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\bar x[n]e^{-j\omega n} \text{ ,Since } \bar x \text{ has finite duration N} \\ &=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}x_P[n]e^{-j\omega n} \text{ ,Since } P\ge N \\ &=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}X(k)e^{\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}})e^{-j\omega n} \\ &=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}X(k)\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\frac{1}{N}e^{-j(\omega-\frac{j2\pi k}{N})n} \end{align} $

$ \text{Denote } P(\omega)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}e^{-j(\omega-\frac{j2\pi k}{N})n} $

$ \text{Then } P(\omega)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}1, & \text{ if }\omega =0,\pm 2\pi,...\\ \frac{1}{N}e^{\frac{-j\omega (N-1)}{2}}\frac{sin(\frac{\omega N}{2})}{sin(\frac{\omega}{2})}, & \text{else.}\end{array} \right. \ $

So DTFT can be fully constructed by

$ \bar \mathcal{X}(\omega)=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}X(k)P(\omega -\frac{2\pi k}{N}) $

Note: In practice, we often choose P exactly the same as N


Q6.

The Duality Property of DFT is descriped below:

$ \text{If the DFT of }x[n]\text{ is denoted as }X(k)\text{ with a length of N} $

$ \text{Then the DFT of }X(n)\text{ is }Nx(-k) $

Derivation:

$ \begin{align} &x(n)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}X(k)e^{j\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}} \\ &\text{Switch n and k} \\ \Leftrightarrow &x(k)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}X(n)e^{j\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}} \\ \Leftrightarrow &Nx(-k)=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}X(n)e^{-j\frac{j2\pi kn}{N}}=\text{ DFT of }X(n) \end{align} $

Conclusion:

if $ x(n)\xrightarrow{DFT} X(k) $

then $ X(n)\xrightarrow{DFT} Nx(-k) $


Q7.

Suppose a and b are constant, l is a arbitrary integer. Denote $ y[n]=\mathcal{T}\{ x[n]\} $

a) Yes

Since

$ \begin{align} \mathcal{T}\{ax_1[n]+bx_2[n]\}&=ax_1[n+1]+bx_2[n+1]+ax_1[n-1]+bx_2[n-1] \\ &=ax_1[n+1]+ax_1[n-1]+bx_2[n+1]+bx_2[n-1] \\ &=a\mathcal{T}\{x_1[n]\}+b\mathcal{T}\{x_2[n]\} \end{align} $

The system is linear.

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}=x[n-l+1]+x[n-l-1] $

$ y[n-l]=x[n-l+1]+x[n-l-1] $

Since

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}=y[n-l] $

The system is time invariant.

As a result, the system is LTI.

b) No

Since

$ \begin{align} \mathcal{T}\{ax_1[n]+bx_2[n]\}&=ax_1[n-1]+bx_2[1-n]+ax_1[n-1]+bx_2[1-n] \\ &=ax_1[n-1]+ax_1[1-n]+bx_2[n-1]+bx_2[1-n] \\ &=a\mathcal{T}\{x_1[n]\}+b\mathcal{T}\{x_2[n]\} \end{align} $

The system is linear.

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}=x[n-l-1]+x[1-n-l] $

$ y[n-l]=x[n-l+1]+x[1-n+l] $

Since

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}\ne y[n-l] $

The system is time variant.

As a result, the system is not LTI.

c) Yes

Since

$ \begin{align} \mathcal{T}\{ax_1[n]+bx_2[n]\}&=(ax_1[n]+bx_2[n])*(u[n+3]-u[n-3]) \\ &=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}(ax_1[n-k]+bx_2[n-k])(u[k+3]-u[k-3]) \\ &=a\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}x_1[n-k](u[k+3]-u[k-3])+b\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}x_2[n-k](u[k+3]-u[k-3]) \\ &=a\mathcal{T}\{x_1[n]\}+b\mathcal{T}\{x_2[n]\} \end{align} $

The system is linear.

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}=x[n-l]*(u[n-l+3]-u[n-l-3]) $

$ y[n-l]=x[n-l]*(u[n-l+3]-u[n-l-3]) $

Since

$ \mathcal{T}\{x[n-l]\}=y[n-l] $

The system is time invariant.

As a result, the system is LTI.
