Classification of Signals

This document provides explanations for 10 multiple choice questions about classifying and analyzing signals. Specifically: 1) Sampling is the process of converting a continuous time signal to a discrete time signal. 2) The even part of a signal x(t) is (1/2)*(x(t)+x(-t)). 3) The odd component of the signal x(t)=e(jt) is j*sint. 4) For a signal x(t) to be periodic, it must satisfy x(t+mT)=x(t) for any integer m, where T is the period. 5) For the sum of two periodic signals x1(t)

“Classification of Signals”

1. Which of the following is done to convert a continuous time signal into discrete time signal?
a) Modulating
b) Sampling
c) Differentiating
d) Integrating

Answer: b

Explanation: A discrete time signal can be obtained from a continuous time signal by replacing t by
nT, where T is the reciprocal of the sampling rate or time interval between the adjacent values. This
procedure is known as sampling.

3. The even part of a signal x(t) is:


a) x(t)+x(-t)
b) x(t)-x(-t)
c) (1/2)*(x(t)+x(-t))
d) (1/2)*(x(t)-x(-t))

Answer: c
Explanation: Let x(t)=xe(t)+xo(t)
=>x(-t)=xe(-t)-xo(-t)
By adding the above two equations, we get
xe(t)=(1/2)*(x(t)+x(-t)).

4. Which of the following is the odd component of the signal x(t)=e (jt)?
a) cost
b) j*sint
c) j*cost
d) sint

Answer: b
Explanation: Let x(t)=e(jt)
Now, xo(t)=(1/2)*(x(t)-x(-t))
=(1/2)*(e(jt) – e(-jt))
=(1/2)*(cost+jsint-cost+jsint)
=(1/2)*(2jsint)
=j*sint.
5. For a continuous time signal x(t) to be periodic with a period T, then x(t+mT) should be equal to:
a) x(-t)
b) x(mT)
c) x(mt)
d) x(t)

Answer: d
Explanation: If a signal x(t) is said to be periodic with period T, then x(t+mT)=x(t) for all t and any
integer m.

6. Let x1(t) and x2(t) be periodic signals with fundamental periods T1 and T2 respectively. Which of
the following must be a rational number for x(t)=x1(t)+x2(t) to be periodic?
a) T1+T2
b) T1-T2
c) T1/T2
d) T1*T2

Answer: c
Explanation: Let T be the period of the signal x(t)
=>x(t+T)=x1(t+mT1)+x2(t+nT2)
Thus, we must have
mT1=nT2=T
=>(T1/T2)=(k/m)= a rational number.

7. Let x1(t) and x2(t) be periodic signals with fundamental periods T1 and T2 respectively. Then the
fundamental period of x(t)=x1(t)+x2(t) is:
a) LCM of T1 and T2
b) HCF of T1and T2
c) Product of T1 and T2
d) Ratio of T1 to T2

Answer: a
Explanation: For the sum of x1(t) and x2(t) to be periodic the ratio of their periods should be a rational
number, then the fundamental period is the LCM of T1 and T2.
8. All energy signals will have an average power of:
a) Infinite
b) Zero
c) Positive
d) Cannot be calculated

Answer: b
Explanation: For any energy signal, the average power should be equal to 0 i.e., P=0.

9. x(t) or x(n) is defined to be an energy signal, if and only if the total energy content of the signal is
a:
a) Finite quantity
b) Infinite
c) Zero
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: The energy signal should have total energy value that lies between 0 and infinity.

10. What is the period of cos2t+sin3t?


a) π
b) 2 π
c) 3 π
d) 4 π

Answer: b
Explanation: Period of cos2t=(2* π)/2= π
Period of sin3t=(2* π)/3
LCM of π and (2* π)/3 is 2* π.
