Today we talked about downsampling. More specifically, we derived the relationship between the DTFT of $ x_2[n] $ and the DTFT of $ x_1[n] $ when $ x_2[n]=x_1[Dn] $ for some positive integer D. Remember that this relationship holds regardless of how $ x_1[n] $ was obtained. In particular, it holds even if $ x_1[n] $ is a sampling of a signal that violates Nyquist condition.

Action Items

  • Keep working on the fifth homework. It's due Friday.
  • Continue preparing for the first test:
    • Review the relationship between the z-transform and the Fourier transform
    • Review how to invert a z-transform
