Questions
1. Consider the signal x(t) defined as x(t) = e−at for t ≥ 0 and 0 otherwise. What is the bandwidth
required to transmit 95% of the signal?
Hint: It will be a function of ’ a ’.
2. Consider the tent signal s(t) = (1 − |t|)I[−1,1] (t).
(a) Find and sketch the Fourier transform S(f ).
(b) Compute the 99% energy containment bandwidth in KHz, assuming that the unit of time is millisec-
onds.
3. Let x(t) and y(t) be two periodic signals with period T0 , and let xn and yn denote the Fourier series
coefficients of these two signals.
(a) Show that
Z α+T0 ∞
1 X
x(t)y ∗ (t)dt = xn yn∗
T0 α n=−∞
This relation is known as Parseval’s relation for the Fourier series. Show that the Rayleigh’s relation for
periodic signals is a special case of this relation. Rayleigh’s Relation is shown below.

(b) Show that for all periodic physical signals that have finite power, the coefficients of the Fourier series
expansion xn tend to zero as n → ∞.
(c) Use Parseval’s relation in part (a) to prove the following identity.

Hint: Find Fourier series expansion of f (x) = x2 , x ∈ [−π, π] and then use Parseval’s identity.
4. Determine the Fourier transform of each of the following signals.

(a) sinc3 t
(b) t sinct
(c) te−αt cos(βt)

5. Using the properties of the Fourier transform, evaluate the following integrals
R∞
(a) 0 e−αt sinc2 (t)dt
R∞
(b) 0 e−αt cos(βt)dt

6. Consider the following two passband signals:

up (t) = sinc(2t) cos(100πt)


and
 π
vp (t) = sinc(t) sin 101πt +

(a) Find the complex envelopes u(t) and v(t) for up and vp respectively, with respect to the frequency
reference fc = 50 Hz.
(b) What is the bandwidth of up (t) ? What is the bandwidth if vp (t) ?
(c) Find the inner product ⟨up , vp ⟩ using the result in (a).
(d) Find the convolution yp (t) = (up ∗ vp ) (t) using the result in (a).

7. The passband signal u(t) = I[−1;1] (t) cos(100πt) is passed through the passband filter h(t) = I[0;3] (t) sin(100πt).
Find an explicit time-domain expression for the filter output.
8. Consider a passband signal of the form

up (t) = a(t) cos(200πt)


where a(t) = sinc(2t) and the unit of time is in microseconds.
(a) What is the frequency band occupied by up (t) ?
(b) The signal up (t) cos(199πt) is passed through a lowpass filter to obtain an output b(t). Give an
explicit expression for b(t), and sketch B(f ) (if B(f ) is complex-valued, sketch its real and imaginary parts
separately).
(c) The signal up (t) sin(199π)t is passed through a lowpass filter to obtain an output c(t). Give an
explicit expression for c(t), and sketch C(f ) (if C(f ) is complex-valued, sketch its real and imaginary parts
separately).
(d) Can you reconstruct a(t) from simple real-valued operations performed on b(t) and c(t) ? If so, sketch
a block diagram for the operations required. If not, say why not.
