Q 13.4)
The signal xc(t) has frequency content at 50kHz and 150kHz. Hence, it is bandlimited to fc =
150kHz and must be sampled at least at its Nyquist rate: fs 2fc = 300 kHz

Q 13.6)
The continuous-time square pulse is given by
x p (t ) (t ) (t 1ms)

where is the unit step function defined in equation (13.2).

The sampled signal is 10 consecutive samples with all other samples equalling zero. Hence,
the spectrum is simply the summation of the corresponding 10 terms in equation (13.15):

Q 13.7)
Equation (13.17):
= 2f / fs f = fs / 2
In this case: = /10 and fs = 10 MHz. Hence,
f = (/10)(10 MHz) / 2 = 0.5 MHz

Q 13.8)
Recall that if x(n) X(z), then x(n-k) X(z)z-k. Hence,
y(n) = x(n) + 2x(n-3)
Y(z) = X(z) + 2X(z)z-3

The transfer function of the block diagram in Fig. 13.12 is given by equation (13.29):

From equation (13.26), the 3-dB frequency of H(z) is:

In this case, = 2/50 and we must solve for a:

cos(2/50) = 2 a/2 1/2a 0.5a2 1.008a + 0.5 = 0
This has two solutions: a = 1.134 and 0.882
Only the later results in a stable transfer function. Hence, a = 0.882.
To ensure a dc gain of 2, we require H (1)
