𝑥1 (𝑡) = { 𝑥2 (𝑡) = {
0, 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑒 0, 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑒

These signals are sampled with a sampling period of T = 0.25 seconds to obtain discrete-time signals
𝑥1 [𝑛] and 𝑥2 [𝑛], respectively. Which one of the following statements is true?
(a) The energy of 𝑥1 [𝑛] is greater than the energy of 𝑥2 [𝑛].
(b) The energy of 𝑥2 [𝑛] is greater than the energy of 𝑥1 [𝑛].
(c) 𝑥1 [𝑛] and 𝑥2 [𝑛] have equal energies.
(d) Neither 𝑥1 [𝑛] nor 𝑥2 [𝑛] is a finite energy signal.

Ans: (a) solution

 t , −1  t  1
x1 ( t ) = 
 0, otherwise '
Ts = sampling time – period = 0.25

x1 (n) = 1,0.75,0.5,0.25,0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1

Now, 𝑥2 (𝑡) = {
0, otherwise

x2 ( n) = 0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,0.5,0.25,0

Since x1 ( n ) is having one more non -zero sample of amplitude ‘1’ as compared to x2  n  therefore, energy
of x1 ( n ) is greater than energy of x2  n  .

𝐻(𝑧) = 𝑧 2 +0.81
If this filter has to reject a 50Hz interference from the input, then the sampling frequency for the input signal should be
(a) 50 Hz (b) 100 Hz
(c) 150 Hz (d) 200 Hz

Ans: (a)
In order to reject the 50 Hz interference, sampling frequency must be as low as the noise frequency
Solution
( so that they are separated in time domain and has less interference).
So, fs=50Hz

22. A discrete time system is designed using only adders, gains and delays. The transfer function of the system H(z) = Y /X. and X are two polynomials in z. When the
system was constructed, users were dissatisfied with its response. So, a new system H1 was designed by modifying system H.
j3 /2
System H1 : Every delay element in H is replaced by a cascade of three delay elements followed by gain of 8. If the system H had a pole ate then the system H1
will have a pole at

1 j /2

Solution:
H(z) has a pole at e j3 /2
 1 
Let, H ( z ) =  j3  /2 −1 

27. If x(t)e-3t is absolutely integrable function, X(s) is the Laplace transform of x(t) then, which of the following is true about the given signal x(t). (Given the location
of poles of X(s) are shown-in figure below)

(a) x(t) is a right sided signal (b) x(t) is a left sided signal
(c) x(t) is a double sided signal (d) None of the above

Ans: (a)

Solution:
()
Since x t e−3t is stable then ROC of its Laplace transform must contain j  axis and we know that ( )
x (t) e → X (S + S0 )
−S0 t F.T.
⎯⎯

()
i.e. the ROC shifts to the left by s 0 thus for x t e−3t to be stable the ROC of x(t) should contain s = 3.
Thus ROC of x(t) is Re[s] >2
Thus the signal in time domain should be right sided signal.
