Chapter 3 Exercises

The document discusses key concepts related to signals and frequency domains: 1) Period and frequency are inversely related, with period referring to the time to complete one cycle and frequency referring to the number of cycles per second. 2) Amplitude measures the signal value, frequency measures the number of cycles per second, and phase measures the position of the waveform relative to time zero. 3) A signal's periodicity can be determined from its frequency domain plot, with discrete frequencies indicating periodicity and continuous frequencies indicating non-periodicity.

Data and signal exercises

1- What is the relationship between period and frequency?


Ans:
Period refers to the amount of time, in second, a signal need to
complete 1 cycle.
The frequency refers to the number of periods in 1 second.
Period and frequency are the inverse of each other.

2- What does the amplitude of a signal measure? What does the


frequency of a signal measure? What does the phase of a signal
measure?
Ans:
The amplitude of a signal measures the value of the signal at
any point.
The frequency of a signal measures of periods in 1 second.
The phase of a signal measures the position of the waveform
relative to time zero.

3- Can we say if a signal is periodic or non-periodic by just


looking at its frequency domain plot? How?
Ans:
Yes, we can say if a signal is periodic or non-periodic by just
looking at its frequency domain plot. Because of, a signal is
periodic if its frequency domain plot is discrete and a signal is
non-periodic if its frequency domain plot is continuous.

4- Given the frequencies listed below, calculate the corresponding


periods.
a. 24Hz
b. 8 MHz
c. 140 KHz
Ans:
a. T= 1/F= 1/(24Hz)=0.0417 s
b. T= 1/F= 1/(8Mz)= 1/ (8*૚૙૟ )= 0.000000125 s
c. T= 1/F= 1/(140Kz)= 1/ (140*૚૙૜ )= 0.00000714 s

5- Given the following periods, calculate the corresponding


frequencies.
a. 5 s
b. 12 µs
c. 220 ns
Ans:
a. F= 1/T= 1/5 = 0.2 Hz
b. F= 1/T= 1/(12 µs)= 1/ (12*૚૙ି૟ )=8333 Hz
c. F= 1/T= 1/(220 ns)= 1/ (220*૚૙ିૢ )=8333 Hz

6- What is the phase shift for the following?


a. A sine wave with the maximum amplitude at time zero
b. A sine wave with maximum amplitude after 1/4 cycle
c. A sine wave with zero amplitude after 3/4 cycle and
increasing
Ans:
a. 90 degrees
b. 0 degrees
c. 90 degrees

7- What is the bandwidth of a signal that can be decomposed into


five sine waves with frequencies at 0, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Hz?
All peak amplitudes are the same. Draw the bandwidth.
Ans:
8- A periodic composite signal with a bandwidth of 2000 Hz is
composed of two sine waves. The first one has a frequency of
100 Hz with maximum amplitude of 20 V; the second one has
maximum amplitude of 5 V. Draw the bandwidth.

9- Which signal has a wider bandwidth, a sine wave with a


frequency of 100 Hz or a sine wave with a frequency of 200 Hz?
Ans:
Each signal is a simple signal in this case. The bandwidth of a
simple signal is zero. So bandwidths of both signals are the
same.
