POC 2019 Solution 2
1. The quantity 𝑅12 (𝜏) = ∫−∞ 𝑥1 (𝑡)𝑥2∗ (𝑡 − 𝜏)𝑑𝜏 denotes the cross-correlation function. Hence, the
Fourier transform is 𝑋1 (𝑓)𝑋2∗ (𝑓). Alternatively, it can also be seen as the convolution of
𝑥1 (𝑡), 𝑥2∗ (−𝑡).

10. Note that sinc 𝑘𝑡 has the Fourier transform 𝐺̃ (𝑓) = 𝑘 , − 2 ≤ 𝑓 ≤ 2 . Hence sinc 2 𝑘𝑡 has the Fourier
1 |𝑓|
transform 𝐺̃ (𝑓) ∗ 𝐺̃ (𝑓) = − for −𝑘 ≤ 𝑓 ≤ 𝑘 and 0 otherwise. Thus, the maximum frequency

of the filter is 𝑘. Since bandwidth of GSM is given to be 100 𝑘𝐻𝑧, we must have 𝑘 ≤ 100 𝑘𝐻𝑧 so
that the spectrum of the transmit pulse is limited to this band
