HW #11 (due Thursday, April 26, 2001)

Problems 10.16, 11.3, 11.13ab, 11.25, 11.26abc in the text

Note (added 4/25/01):

Problem 11.13ab will not be graded; however, you should attempt the problem anyway for practice.

HW #10 (due Thursday, April 19, 2001)

Problems 9.13, 10.4ad, and 10.9abf in the text

Plus the following additional problem:

Two LTI discrete-time systems have the following impulse responses:

     h1[n] = (1.2)n u[n]      and      h2[n] = (0.8)n u[n]

For each system:

     a) Determine whether or not the system in causal.
     b) Determine whether or not the system is stable.
     c) Find the unit step response
         (i.e., find y[n] when x[n] = u[n]).

Notes and Hints:

Prob. 10.9: The step response h[n] has non-zero values only at n = 0, 1, 4, and 5.

Probs. 10.4 and 10.9: One approach to solving the problems is to express h[n] as a sequence of impulse functions (as you did in Prob. 9.20 in the last HW assignment). On the other hand, some students may find it easier to use a graphical approach.

Additional Prob., part b: Appendix C in your text may be helpful.

I will not be on campus Thursday, April 19. If you have questions about the homework, please see me Wednesday or earlier.

HW #9 (due Thursday, April 12, 2001)

The assignment is available via the following link:

     HW #9 Assignment

You may assume that the sampled signal applied to the input of the RC reconstruction filter is a sequence of weighted ideal impulse functions.

HW #8 (due Thursday, April 5, 2001)

Problems 6.23, 6.24, 9.1a, and 9.2b in the text

Notes:

Prob. 6.23: In part a, determine whether or not x(t) must be bandlimited, and, if so, give a relationship between the maximum frequency component of x(t) and T. In part b, give the type and cut-off frequency/frequencies of the filter represented by H(omega). In part d, look for a situation where aliasing gives the same spectrum below 700 Hz as in part c.

HW #7 (due Thursday, Mar. 22, 2001)

Problems 5.11, 5.19, 5.24 (give formula, but omit sketch), 5.26, and 6.5 in the text

Notes:

Prob. 5.11: A trapezoidal pulse is equivalent to the convolution of two rectangular pulses (you must determine the amplitudes and widths). This is one approach; there are alternative approaches for solving this problem.

Prob. 6.5: It is easier to determine the type of ideal filter this circuit approximates if you plot the magnitude of the transfer function. This takes some time, since the transfer function is complex.

HW #6 (due Thursday, Mar. 15, 2001)

Problems 4.10, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5 in the text

Notes:

Prob. 4.10: Do not use the integral formula (4.23) to find the coefficients. Use Table 4.3 and the properties of Fourier series instead.

Prob. 4.10b: The width of the pulses in Figure P4.10b should be 1 second.

HW #5 (due date extended again to Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2001)

Problems 3.18bcdf, 4.7cdeg, 4.8ace, and 4.9ace in the text

[No homework due Thursday, Feb. 15, 2001]
HW #4 (due Thursday, Feb. 8, 2001)

Problems 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5a-d in the text

HW #3 (due Thursday, Feb. 1, 2001)

Problems 2.25acd, 2.26, 2.28, and 2.30abc in the text

HW #2 (due Thursday, Jan. 25, 2001)

Problems 2.15, 2.18, 2.19, 2.20c, 2.22, and 2.24 in the text

HW #1 (due Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001)

Problems 2.1 (parts a and b only), 2.2 (parts a and b only), 2.7, 2.8, 2.10, and 2.12 in the text
