QUESTION 1:

Which of the following is true for auto-correlation function (ACF) and PSD?
a. If the ACF is multiplied with a window function, then the PSD is multiplied with the
Fourier transform of the window function.
b. If the ACF is multiplied with a window function, then the PSD is convolved with the
Fourier transform of the window function.
c. If the ACF is multiplied with a window function, then the PSD is added with the
Fourier transform of the window function.
d. If the ACF is multiplied with a window function, then the PSD is subtracted with the
Fourier transform of the window function.

Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Fourier transform of ACF is PSD. Multiplication in time domain is
convolution in frequency domain.

QUESTION 10:

If the impulse response of an LTI system and the input signal are rectangular waves of different
length, then the output will be
a. Rectangular wave
b. Triangular wave
c. Ramp
d. Trapezoidal wave

Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution: The output of the LTI system will be the convolution of impulse response of
LTI system and the input signal. So, the convolution of two rectangular waves of same length is
a triangular wave.
