Assignment:
Question one
a) Explain one practical application of Fourier transform concept in signal analysis. State
(not derive) the following properties of the transform: linearity, time shifting,
frequency shifting, time reversal, convolution, integration, differentiation in time and
frequency, time and frequency scaling.
b) Calculate the Fourier transform of the following time domain signals
(i) 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑒 −|𝑡|
(ii) 𝑥(𝑡) = sin(2𝜋100𝑡)
Question two
c) Consider the first-order difference equation
y[n] + 2 y[n − 1] = x[n]
Assume the condition of initial rest. This means that if x[n] = 0 for n n0 , then y[n] = 0
for n n0 . Find the impulse response of a causal system whose input and output are
related by this difference equation. Assume that x[n] = 0 for n 0 .
Question three
Consider a discrete system defined by
𝑥(𝑛) + 𝑥(𝑛 − 2)
𝑦(𝑛) =
2
Is the system causal? . Also find the output of the system for an input x(n) given by:
𝑛𝑛 = 0,1,2,3,4
𝑥(𝑛) = {
