Question 1
Compute the N-point DFT of each of the following periodic signals. ( Use the fundamental period of the signal as N):
a) $ x[n]= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 3, &\text{ if }n=0,\\ 0, &\text{ if }n=1,2,3,4,5,6,7, \end{array} \right. $ x[n] periodic with period 8.
b) $ x[n]= e^{j \frac{2}{7} \pi n}; $
c) $ x[n]=sin(\frac{\pi}{8} n) $
d) $ x[n]= e^{j \frac{\pi}{3} n } \cos ( \frac{\pi}{6} n ) $
e) $ x[n]= j^n $
f) $ x[n] =(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-j \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^n $
Note: All of these DFTs are VERY simple to compute. If your computation looks like a monster, please find a simpler approach!
Question 2
Compute the inverse N-point DFT of
a) $ X[k]= e^{j \frac{\pi}{6} k } $.
b) $ X[k]= e^{j \pi k }+e^{-j \frac{\pi}{2} k} $.
Note: Again, these are VERY simple problems. Have pity for your grader, and try to use a simple approach!
Question 3
Let x[n] be a DT signal of finite duration N and let $ {\mathcal X}(\omega) $ be its DTFT. Consider the periodic signal $ x_M[n]=\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty x[n+Mk] $ and its M-point DFT $ X_M[k] $.
Can one reconstruct $ {\mathcal X}(\omega) $ from the values of $ X_M[k] $? If yes, explain how and give a mathematical proof of your answer. If no, explain why not (mathematically).
Question 4
What is the effect of padding a finite duration signal with zeros (up to length M>N) before taking the M-point DTF of its periodic repetition (with period M)? How will this affect the DFT? State your answer in a few simple words and give a mathematical proof.
Hint: To answer this question, let x[n] be a signal of duration N beginning with n=0 and let M>N. Let $ y_M[n] $ be the signal given by
$ y[n]=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x[n],& 0\leq n <N \\ 0,& N\leq n <M \end{array} \right. $
and show that the M-point DFT $ Y_M[k]={\mathcal X} \left( k\frac{2\pi}{M}\right) $.
Hand in a hard copy of your solutions. Pay attention to rigor!
