1. Find the fundamental period 𝑇𝑜 and the Fourier coefficients 𝐶𝑛 for the signal
𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑡 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4 𝑡.

2. Find the Fourier transform of:


a) 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑡𝑒 −𝑏𝑡 𝑢(𝑡), 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑏 > 0.
b) 𝑥(𝑡) = sin 𝜔𝑜 𝑡
c) 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝛿(𝑡 − 𝑡𝑜 )

3. Proof the frequency convolution theorem

[Hint: Apply the duality property to the time convolution theorem]

4. Consider a system with input 𝑥(𝑡) and 𝑦(𝑡) given by


𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡)𝛿𝑇 (𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡) ∑ 𝛿(𝑡 − 𝑛𝑇)

a) Is the system linear? How?
b) Is this system time-invariant?

5. In a binary communication system (Fig. 1), a 0 or 1 can be transmitted. Because of channel


noise, a 0 can be received as a 1 and vice versa. Let 𝑚0 and 𝑚1 denote the events of
transmitting 0 and 1, respectively. Let 𝑟0 and 𝑟1 denote the events of receiving 0 and
1, respectively. Let 𝑃(𝑚1 ) = 0.5, 𝑃(𝑟1 \𝑚0 ) = 𝑝 = 0.15, and 𝑃(𝑟0 \𝑚1 ) = 𝑞 = 0.22.

6. A binary source generates digits 1 and 0 randomly. The probability of generating a binary
1 is 0.55.

8. Consider the random process 𝑋(𝑡) defined by 𝑋(𝑡) = 𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡 where 𝜔 is constant and 𝐴
is random variable uniformly distributed over [0, 1]. Find the autocorrelation and
autocovariance of 𝑋(𝑡).

9. Let 𝑋(𝑡) and 𝑌(𝑡) be both zero-mean and WSS random processes. Consider the random
process 𝑍(𝑡) defined by
𝑍(𝑡) = 𝑋(𝑡) + 𝑌(𝑡)
a) Determine the autocorrelation and the power spectrum of 𝑍(𝑡) if 𝑋(𝑡) and 𝑌(𝑡)
are jointly WSS.
b) Repeat part (a) if 𝑋(𝑡) and 𝑌(𝑡) are orthogonal.
c) Show that if 𝑋(𝑡) and 𝑌(𝑡) are orthogonal, then the mean square of 𝑍(𝑡) is equal
to the sum of the mean squares of 𝑋(𝑡) and 𝑌(𝑡).

10. A class of modulated random signal 𝑌(𝑡) is defined by


𝑌(𝑡) = 𝐴𝑋(𝑡)cos (𝜔𝑐 𝑡 + Θ)
Where 𝑋(𝑡) is the random message signal and 𝐴𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜔𝑐 𝑡 + Θ) is the carrier. The random
message signal 𝑋(𝑡) is a zero-mean stationary random process with autocorrelation 𝑅𝑋𝑋 (𝜏)
and power spectrum 𝑆𝑋𝑋 (𝜔). The carrier amplitude 𝐴 and the frequency 𝜔𝑐 are constants,
and phase Θ is a random variable uniformly distributed over [0, 2𝜋]. Assuming that 𝑋(𝑡)
and Θ are independent, find the mean, autocorrelation and power spectrum of 𝑌(𝑡).
