(e) x(n) = 3 cos(5n + 8 )

4. A digital communication link carries binary coded words representing samples of an input signal
xa (t) = 3 cos(600t) + 2 cos(1800t)
(a) What are the sampling rate and the folding frequency?
(b) What is the Nyquist rate for the signal?
(c) What is the resolution?
5. The discrete time signal x(n) = 6.35 cos((/10)n) is quantized with a resolution = 0.1 or
= 0.02. How many bits are required in the A/D converter in each case?
6. Determine the bit rate and resolution in the sampling of a seismic signal with dynamic range
of 1 V if the sampling rate is 20 samples/second and we use 8 bits A/D converter. What is the
maximum frequency that can be present in the resulting digital seismic signal?
0

9. A discrete time system can be classified using a range of properties: (1) static or dynamic; (2)
linear or non-linear ; (3) time invariant or time variant; (4) casual or non-casual ; (5) stable or
unstable.
Please classify the following systems:
(a) y(n) = cos(x(n))
(b) y(n) = x(n) cos(n)
(c) y(n) = x(n + 2)
(d) y(n) = x(2n)
(e) y(n) = x(n)u(n)
Initially, you were instructed to design a 4-level quantizer. Determine the quantization
levels for each of the three sets of signals such that the quantization error is minimized
given that there are no restrictions on dynamic range.
Then, your manager instructed you that you can use any number of quantization levels
with the maximum number of levels being 12. Repeat part (a) using the fewest number of
quantization levels.
Finally, repeat part (b) but with a dynamic range restriction of 50%, i.e., the quantization
levels cannot exceed 75% of the absolute value of the maximum amplitude level of the
entire signal being quantized.
