EE 438 Exam No. 1 Spring 2000: Name
1. (25 pts.) Consider the system shown below with input x[n] and output y[n].
x[n] y[n]
System
Suppose that this system is linear and time-invariant with impulse response
h[n] = [n].
(5) a. Find an expression for the DTFT Y( ) of the output in terms of the DTFT
X( ) of the input.
Now consider a system described by the relationship y[n] = (−1)n x[n].
(2) b. Is this system linear? (State “yes” or “no”; no proof is needed, and no
partial credit will be given.)
(2) c. Is it time-invariant? (State “yes” or “no”; no proof is needed, and no
partial credit will be given.)
(4) d. Find the impulse response for this system.
(12) e. Find an expression for the DTFT Y( ) of the output in terms of the DTFT
X( ) of the input.

4. (25 pts.) Consider the CT signal x(t) with CTFT X(f) shown below:
X( f )
1.0
0.75
0.5
0.25
0.0
0 2 4 6 f kHz
Suppose we sample this signal at the Nyquist rate of 8 kHz to generate the DT
signal x[n].
Design a DT system to lower the sampling rate to 75% of its initial value. The
output of this system will be a signal y[n] that is effectively sampled at 6 kHz.
Your system should be designed so that no aliasing (folding over) of frequencies
occurs. Some truncation of higher frequencies may be necessary.
a. Sketch a complete block diagram of your system showing the necessary
parameters for all components of the system.
b. Sketch the DTFT spectrum of the signal at each point in your system.
