Definition of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Question 1:

Let xa(t) be an analog signal with bandwidth B = 6 kHz. We wish to use an N = 2m point DFT to compute the spectrum of the signal with resolution less than or equal to 200 Hz. What is the minimum length of the analog signal recorded?

  1. 60 seconds
  2. 0.05 second
  3. 0.005 second
  4. 6000 seconds

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 0.005 second

Definition of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Question 1 Detailed Solution

Analog signal recorded:​ The process of capturing and storing an analog signal, which is a continuous-time signal. The minimum length of the analog signal recorded. It means capturing a continuous analog signal for at least a specified duration.

To find the minimum length of the analog signal recorded, considering the given condition B = 6kHz, DFT points N = 2m and resolution 200Hz.

Resolution = BandwidthN

In this case:

6kHz2m200Hz

Solving for m.

2m 6kHz200Hz

log2[6kHz200Hz]

log2[30]

m4.9069

Since m must be an integer, we round up to the next integer, so m = 5.

Now, the minimum length of the analog signal recorded is given by:

Signal length = NBandwidth

Signal length = 256kHz

Signal length = 326kHz

Signal length  0.00533 seconds.

This is very closest to option 3 0.005 seconds.

Here, option 3 is correct.

Note that xp[n]=Σk=0N1akej2πNkn. The magnitude of the Fourier series coefficient 𝑎3 is _______________ (Round off to 3 decimal places).

Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 0.037 - 0.039

Definition of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Question 2 Detailed Solution

We know that, ak=1Nn=0N1x(n)ej2πNkn

ak=1NX(Ω)|Ω=2πkN

ak=1N(1+cosΩ)ejΩ|Ω=2πkN = 1N(1+cos2πkN)ej2πkN

a3=15(1+cos2π×35)ej2π×35

a3=15(1+cos6π5)ej6π5

|a3|=15(1+cos6π5)=0.038

Hence, the correct answer is 0.038

Definition of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Question 3:

The Fourier transform 𝑋(𝜔) of the signal 𝑥(𝑡) is given by

𝑋(𝜔) = 1, for |𝜔| < 𝑊0

= 0, for |𝜔| > 𝑊0

  1. 𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞
  2. 𝑥(0) decreases as 𝑊0 increases. 
  3. At t=π2W0,x(t)=1π
  4. At t=π2W0,x(t)=1π

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 𝑥(𝑡) tends to be an impulse as 𝑊0 → ∞

Definition of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) Question 3 Detailed Solution

Given:

 X(ω)={1, for |ω|<ω00, for |ω|>ω0

F1 Vinanti Engineering 24.11.23 D2

By taking inverse Fourier transform,

x(t)=sinω0tπt

x(π2ω0)=2ω0π×πsinω0×π2ω0 =2ω0π2sinπ2=2ω0π2

So, option (C) and (D) are wrong.

x(0)=Ltt0sinω0tπt= Ltt0ω0cosω0tπ=ω0π

So, x(0) ∝ ω0 Option (B) is wrong.

When ω0 → ∞, X(ω) will be a D.C signal and inverse Fourier transform of a D.C signal will be impulse signal.

So, option (A) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Concept:

1). The N point DFT sequence is circularly even if it is symmetric about a point on circle i.e.

x[n] = x[N - n] for 1 ≤ n ≤ N -1

2). The N point DFT sequence is circularly odd if it is anti-symmetric about a point on circle i.e.

x[n] = -x[N- n] for 1 ≤ n ≤ N -1

Analysis:

Given:

DFT sequence x[n] = {2, 3, 4, 3}  and N = 4

Checking if x[n] = x[N - n], we can write:

x[1] = x[4 - 1] = x[3] = 3

x[2] = x[4 - 2] = x[2] = 4

x[3] = x[4 - 3] = x[1] = 3

Hence, it is 4 point circularly even.

Concept:

Sampling theorem is the bridge between continuous-time signals and discrete-time signals i.e., we convert continuous signals to discrete signals using sampling theorem.

y[n]= x(nTs)

Ts = Sampling interval

Calculation:

It is given that a finite duration discrete signal x(n) is obtained by sampling x(t) = cos(200πt) with Ts = n/400

x(t) = cos 200 π t

Since the sampling instant is t = n/400, x(t) can be written as:

x(n)=cos[200πn400]

x(n)=cos(π2n) n = 0, 1, 2 …7

x(n)={cos0,cosπ2,cosπ,cos3π2,,cos7π2}

x(n) = {+1, 0, -1, 0, +1, 0, -1, 0}

The discrete Fourier Transform of x[n] will be X[k].

Assuming, y(n) = [1, -1, 1, -1], i.e.

x(n)=y(n2)

Then its 4-point DFT will be:

Y(K)=[11111j1j11111j1j][1111]

After solving we’ll get,

Y(K) =[0040]

We know that,

If y(n) ↔ Y(K)

Then y(nm) ↔ [Y(K), Y(K), Y(K) … m times]

So, y(n2) ↔ [Y(K), Y(K)]

Since, Y(K) = [0, 0, 4, 0]

x(n)=y(n2)[0,0,4,X(2)0,0,0,4,X(6)0]

So, only X(2) & X(6) are non zero.

Given:

 X(ω)={1, for |ω|<ω00, for |ω|>ω0

F1 Vinanti Engineering 24.11.23 D2

By taking inverse Fourier transform,

x(t)=sinω0tπt

x(π2ω0)=2ω0π×πsinω0×π2ω0 =2ω0π2sinπ2=2ω0π2

So, option (C) and (D) are wrong.

x(0)=Ltt0sinω0tπt= Ltt0ω0cosω0tπ=ω0π

So, x(0) ∝ ω0 Option (B) is wrong.

When ω0 → ∞, X(ω) will be a D.C signal and inverse Fourier transform of a D.C signal will be impulse signal.

So, option (A) is correct.
