CHAPTER 9: PROBLEM SHEET 9

Q1) A signal x[n] has a spectrum () as shown below. The signal is applied to the
system shown below. The ideal lowpass filter H(z) has a gain factor of 1 in the

passband and a cut-off frequency = 3 . Sketch |()|, |()|, |()|, |()|

Q2) A signal has been sampled at 44 kHz. For a particular application, this signal is
required to be used at a reduced sampling rate of 16 kHz. Explain how you
would efficiently implement a system to achieve this, indicating the type of
digital filter you would use (give reasons).
Q3) (a) Show that the impulse response of the system shown below for the kth
channel is hk n h1 ncosn k .
