UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Having obtained the relationship between the DT Fourier transform of $ x_1[n] $ and that of an upsampling of x[n] by a factor D in the previous lecture, we observed that, under certain circumstances, a low-pass filter could be applied to this upsampling so to obtain the signal

$ x_2[n]=x\left( n \frac{T_1}{D} \right) $.

We then began discussing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

Relevant Rhea pages

Action items

• Keep working on the third homework
• Solve the following practice problems and share your answer for feedback
  • Compute this DFT
  • Compute this other DFT
