HW 08

Question 1

If the sound track of a movie was played into a high fidelity playback system at twice the correct speed, what happens to a sine wave's frequency, amplitude and phase, relative to what happens at the correct speed? Explain your answers.

Answer 1

Frequency: The frequency is doubled

Amplitude:

Phase:

Question 2

Suppose $x(t)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\Omega (\beta )\,\Phi (\beta ,t)\,d\beta$ and $\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\Phi ^{*}(\beta ,t)\,\Phi (\lambda ,t)\,dt=\delta (\beta -\lambda )$ where $x(t)\,\!$ is any real function of t. If we have a linear time invariant system where an input of $\Phi (\lambda ,t)\,\!$ produces an output of $\Psi (\lambda ,t)\,\!$.

• How do you find $\Omega (\beta )\,\!$ if you are given $x(t)\,\!$?
• What is the output due to $cos(2\pi ft)\,\!$?

Question 3

If a signal x(t) only has frequency components near DC, $\left|X(f)\right|=0$ for $|f|>f_{max}\,\!$, then x(t) is known as a baseband signal. When x(t) is a baseband signal, $x(t)\,\cos(2\pi f_{0}t)$ is known as a double sideband (DSB) signal. Sometimes a double sideband signal is used to send information over a radio frequency communications link. The transmitter and receiver are shown below.

• Find the Fourier Transform of the DSB signal, $v(t)=x(t)\,\cos(2\pi f_{0}t)$.
• What is the lowest $f_{0}\,\!$ that can be used and still have the communications system work?
• How does the bandwidth of v(t) compare to the bandwidth of x(t)?
• What does the spectrum of w(t) look like and how does it compare to that of x(t)? A graph would be appropriate showing the spectrum of x(t) and that of w(t).
