Homework 10 Solutions, ECE301 Spring 2011 Prof. Boutin

Students should feel free to make comments/corrections or ask questions directly on this page.

Question 1

a) We can write

$ y_1(t)=e^{j \theta_c}x(t)e^{j\omega_c t} $

Notice that this is exactly as modulating by $ e^{j\omega_c t} $ but now we are multiplying with a complex exponential independent of $ t $ (phase shift). We can recover the signal $ x(t) $ for any $ \omega_c $, and hence there are no conditions put on $ \omega_c $.

b) In order to recover signal $ x(t) $, we multiply $ y_1(t) $ by $ e^{-j(\omega_c+\theta_c)} $.

c) We can write

$ y_2(t)=x(t)\left(\frac{e^{j\omega_c t}-e^{-j\omega_c t}}{2j}\right) $

Taking the FT of $ y_2(t) $, we get:

$ \begin{align} \mathcal{Y}_2(\omega)&=\frac{1}{2\pi(2j)}\mathcal{X}(\omega)*[2\pi\delta(\omega-\omega_c)-2\pi\delta(\omega+\omega_c)] \\ &=\frac{1}{2j}\mathcal{X}(\omega-\omega_c)-\frac{1}{2j}\mathcal{X}(\omega+\omega_c) \end{align} $

Now, to insure that we can recover signal $ x(t) $ we need to avoid having the two images of $ X(\omega) $ overlap. Hence we need $ \omega_c>\omega_M $. But $ \omega_M=2000\pi/2=1000\pi $. Hence in order for $ x(t) $ to be recoverable we need:

$ \omega_c>1000\pi $

d) In order to recover signal $ x(t) $ we multiply $ y_2(t) $ by $ \sin(\omega_c t) $ first. The signal after multiplying with $ \sin(\omega_c t) $ is:

$ \begin{align} r(t)&=y_2(t)\sin(\omega_c t) \\ &=\sin^2(\omega_c t)x(t) \\ &=\frac{1}{2}x(t)-\frac{1}{2}\cos(2\omega_c t)x(t) \end{align} $

Thus in order to recover $ x(t) $ we need to filter out the second term of $ r(t) $ and amplify the remainder by a factor of 2 (you may want to draw the FT of $ r(t) $ to verify this in the frequency domain). To achieve that, we pass $ r(t) $ through a low pass filter with a cut-off frequency $ \omega_{cut}=\omega_M=1000\pi $ and gain 2. The frequency response of this low pass filter is:

$ \mathcal{H}(\omega)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 2, & \mbox{ for } |\omega|<1000\pi\\ 0, & \mbox{ elsewhere} \end{array}\right. $

Note that the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter can actually be anywhere between $ \omega_M $ and $ 2\omega_c-\omega_M $.

Question 2

a) The Fourier series coefficients of $ c(t) $ are:

$ \begin{align} a_k&=\frac{\sin(\frac{2\pi k 10^{-3}}{4\times 10^{-3}})}{\pi k} \\ &=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi k}{2}}}{\pi k} \end{align} $

and using the synthesis equation of the Fourier series we get:

$ c(t)=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} a_k e^{j\frac{2\pi k}{T}t}=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} a_k e^{j2000\pi kt} $

Taking the FT of the latter sum, we get:

$ \mathcal{C}(\omega)=2\pi\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}a_k \delta(\omega-2000\pi k) $

Now, let $ y(t)=x(t)c(t) $, then:

$ \begin{align} \mathcal{Y}(\omega)&=\frac{1}{2\pi}\mathcal{X}(\omega)*\mathcal{C}(\omega) \\ &=\frac{1}{2\pi}\mathcal{X}(\omega)*2\pi\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}a_k \delta(\omega-2000\pi k) \\ &=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}a_k \mathcal{X}(\omega-2000\pi k) \end{align} $

In order to recover $ x(t) $ we need to avoid aliasing and hence $ 2000\pi>2\omega_M $. Then $ \omega_M<1000\pi $.

b) We need to find $ a_0 $ since the image at DC is multiplied by it:

$ a_0=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi k}{2}}}{\pi k}=\frac{\frac{\pi k}{2}}{\pi k}=\frac{1}{2} $

Now, to recover $ x(t) $ we need to filter out the images other than the image at DC and and multiply it by $ \frac{1}{a_0}=2 $. Hence we use a low pass filter with the following frequency response:

$ \mathcal{H}(\omega)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 2, & \mbox{ for } |\omega|<\omega_{M}\\ 0, & \mbox{ elsewhere} \end{array}\right. $

Note that the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter can actually be anywhere between $ \omega_M $ and $ 2000\pi-\omega_M $.

Question 3

a) We can assume any illustrative shape for the spectrum of signal $ x(t) $ as long as it is band-limited between $ -\omega_M $ and $ \omega_M $.

Thus the spectrum of $ y(t) $ is:

b) A block diagram of the scrambler that can generate the signal $ y(t) $ can be:

You can verify that by taking the FT of $ 2x(t)cos(\omega_M t) $.

c) The following block diagram describes a descrambler which can recover signal $ x(t) $ from $ y(t) $.

where $ \mathcal{H}(\omega)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 1, & \mbox{ for } |\omega|<\omega_M\\ 0, & \mbox{ elsewhere} \end{array}\right. $.

Note that $ \mathcal{H}(\omega) $ is the frequency response of a low pass filter with cut-off frequency equals to $ \omega_M $.

Question 4

a)

$ \begin{align} X(s)&=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-5t}u(t+3)e^{-st} dt \\ &=\int_{-3}^{\infty}e^{-(5+s)t} dt \\ &=-\frac{1}{s+5}e^{-(5+s)t}|^{\infty}_{-3} \\ &=\frac{e^{3(5+s)}}{s+5} \end{align} $

where the ROC is:

$ \mathcal{R}e\{5+s\}>0 $

$ 5+\mathcal{R}e\{s\}>0 $

$ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}>-5 $

b)

$ \begin{align} X(s)&=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-5t}u(-t+5)e^{-st} dt \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{5}e^{-(5+s)t} dt \\ &=-\frac{1}{s+5}e^{-(5+s)t}|_{-\infty}^{5} \\ &=-\frac{e^{-5(5+s)}}{s+5} \end{align} $

where the ROC is:

$ \mathcal{R}e\{5+s\}<0 $

$ 5+\mathcal{R}e\{s\}<0 $

$ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-5 $

c)

$ \begin{align} X(s)&=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-5t}[u(t)-u(t-3)]e^{-st} dt \\ &=\int_{0}^{3}e^{-(5+s)t} dt \\ &=-\frac{1}{s+5}[e^{-3(5+s)}-1]\\ &=\frac{1}{s+5}-\frac{e^{-3(5+s)}}{s+5} \end{align} $

where we did not need to constraint our result to a ROC (which is expected since the signal has finite duration).

d)

$ \begin{align} X(s)&=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-2|t|}e^{-st}dt \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{0}e^{2t}e^{-st}dt + \int_{0}^{\infty}e^-{2t}e^{-st}dt \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{0}e^{(2-s)t}dt + \int_{0}^{\infty}e^-{(2+s)t}dt \\ &=\frac{1}{2-s}e^{(2-s)t}|^{0}_{-\infty}-\frac{1}{2+s}e^{-(2+s)t}|_{0}^{\infty} \\ &=\frac{1}{2-s}+\frac{1}{2+s} \end{align} $

where for the first term to converge we need $ \mathcal{R}e\{2-s\}>0 $, which is equivilant to $ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}<2 $, and for the other term to converge we need $ \mathcal{R}e\{2+s\}>0 $, or equivalently $ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}>-2 $.

Thus the ROC is the intersection of those two constraints and hence ROC is $ -2<\mathcal{R}e\{s\}<2 $.

Question 5

Since the Laplace transform of $ x(t) $ has exactly two poles at $ s=-1 $ and $ s=-3 $, then the ROC could be any of the following three:

$ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-1 $

$ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-3 $

$ -3<\mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-1 $

But it is given that the FT of $ e^{2t}x(t) $ converges and hence $ s=-2 $ belongs to the ROC of the Laplace transform of $ x(t) $.

Hence the ROC is $ -3<\mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-1 $.

Since the ROC is $ -3<\mathcal{R}e\{s\}<-1 $, we deduce that the given signal is a sum of a right-sided signal and a left-sided signal. Thus, $ x(t) $ should be a two-sided signal.

Hence:

a) No

b) No

c) Yes

Question 6

In order to find the inverse Laplace transform of $ X(s) $, we need to find its partial fraction expansion.

First we compute the roots of the denominator, and then we get:

$ X(s)=\frac{2(s+2)}{s^2+7s+12}=\frac{2(s+2)}{(s+3)(s+4)} $

Now we write:

$ X(s)=\frac{A}{s+3}+\frac{B}{s+4} $

Multiplying both sides by $ (s+3)(s+4) $ and simplifying, we get:

$ 2s+4=(A+B)s+4A+3B $

Comparing and solving, we have that: $ A=-2 $ and $ B=4 $.

Thus,

$ X(s)=-\frac{2}{s+3}+\frac{4}{s+4} $

Now since the ROC is $ \mathcal{R}e\{s\}>-3 $, then $ x(t) $ should be a right sided signal or equivalently the sum of right sided signals. Hence,

$ x(t)=[-2e^{-3t}+4e^{-4t}]u(t) $
