Understanding Signals

1. Determine whether the following signals are periodic or not. For the signals which are periodic, find their
fundamental period.
2 2π
a) x(t) = 2 sin (3 t) + 2 sin( 3 t)
b) x(t) = EV {sin(4πt). u(t)}
c) x[n] = 2 sin(0.8 π n)
d) x[n] = 2 cos(4n)
π π π π
e) x[n] = 2 cos ( 4 n) + sin ( 8 n) − 2 cos ( 2 n + 6 )
f) x[n] = ∑∞
k=−∞{δ[n − 4k] − δ[n − 1 − 4k]}
2. Let x[n] be a signal with x[n] = 0 for n < -2 and n > 4. For each signal given below find the values of n
for which it is guaranteed to be zero
a) x[n-3]
b) x[n+4]
c) x[-n]
d) x[-n+2]
e) x[-n-2]
3. Find the transformations.
x[n] = {2, 6, 3, 2, 5, 7, 9, 3}
↑
n=0
a) x[2n]
n
b) x[ 3 ]

4. Let x(t) be a continuous-time signal, and let


y1 (t) = x(2t) and y2 (t) = x(t/2).
The signal y1(t) represents a speeded up version of x(t) in the sense that the duration of the signal is cut in
half. Similarly, y2 (t) represents a slowed down version of x(t) in the sense that the duration of the signal
is doubled. Consider .the following statements:
(1) If x(t) is periodic, then y1 (t) is periodic.
(2) If y1 (t) is periodic, then x(t) is periodic.
(3) If x(t) is periodic, then y2 (t) is periodic.
(4) If y2 (t) is periodic, then x(t) is periodic.
For each of these statements, determine whether it is true, and if, so, determine the relationship between
the fundamental periods of the two signals considered in the statement. If the statement is not true, produce
a counter-example to it.
5. Let x[n] be a discrete-time signal, and let
n
x [2] , n even
y1 [n] = x[2n] and y2 [n] = {
0 , n odd
The signals y1 [n] and y2 [n] respectively represent in some sense the speeded up and slowed down versions
of x[n]. However, it should be noted that the discrete-time notions of speeded up and slowed down have
subtle differences with respect to their continuous-time counterparts. Consider the following statements:
(1) If x[n] is periodic, then y1 [n] is periodic.
(2) If y1 [n] is periodic, then x[n] is periodic.
(3) If x [n] is periodic, then y2 [n] is periodic.
(4) If y2 [n] is periodic, then x [n] is periodic.
For each of these statements, determine whether it is true, and if so, determine the relationship between
the fundamental periods of the two signals considered in the statement. If the statement is not true, produce
a counterexample to it.
6. In this problem, we explore several of the properties of even and odd signals.
(a) Show that if x[n] is an odd signal, then
∑∞n=−∞ x[n] = 0.
(b) Show that if x1 [n] is an odd signal and x2 [n] is an even signal, then x1 [n] x2 [n] is an odd signal.
(c) Let x[n] be an arbitrary signal with even and odd parts denoted by
xe [n] = Even{x[n]}
and
xo [n] = Odd{x[n]}.
Show that
∑∞ 2 ∞ 2 ∞
n=−∞ x [n] = ∑n=−∞ xe [n] + ∑n=−∞ xo [n]
2

7. Find the even and odd part of the following signal

8. In this problem, we examine a few of the properties of the unit-step and unit-impulse function. Show that
1
a) δ(2t) = δ(t)
2
∞
b) 𝑢(𝑡) = ∫0 𝛿(𝑡 − 𝜎)𝑑𝜎
c) lim∆→0 [u∆ (t) δ(t)] = 0
1
d) lim∆→0 [u∆ (t) δ∆ (t)] = 2 δ(t)

9. Consider the continuous time signal


x(t) = δ(t+2) - δ(t-2)
Calculate the value of E∞ for the signal
t
y(t) = ∫−∞ x(τ)dτ
