ELEC1010 Homework 1 [20] Deadline: 10pm on 08 Oct (Fri)

Please submit ONE soft copy (pdf only) of your assignment to Canvas (Assignments)
before the deadline. NO LATE Submission! (Zero mark!)

1. Find the period (if possible) of the following continuous signal: [6]
a) sin(12𝜋𝑡) + sin(54𝜋𝑡) + sin(36𝜋𝑡)
b) 2sin 𝑡 + 3sin 𝑡
c) 5 sin(4𝜋𝑡) + sin(9𝑡)

2. Suppose 𝑠(𝑡) = sin(6𝜋𝑡) + 2 sin(12𝜋𝑡) + 4sin(24𝜋𝑡) + 6 sin(48𝜋𝑡) + sin(66𝜋𝑡) is

passed through the system as shown: [10]

a) Sketch 𝑆(𝑓).
b) Sketch 𝑌(𝑓) if 𝑓 = 15 𝐻𝑧.
c) What is the fundamental frequency of 𝑠(𝑡).
d) What are the harmonics of 𝑌(𝑓).

 e) If the filter H(f) is replaced by a bandpass filter G(f) as shown below, sketch Z(𝑓).

G(f)

Z (f)

3. From question 2 signal 𝑌(𝑓): [4]

a) Plot the fundamental frequency of 𝑌(𝑓) ONLY in the time domain and show TWO
completed cycles (periods) of that signal using Microsoft Excel.
b) Plot the signal 𝑌(𝑓) in the time domain and show TWO completed cycles (periods)
using Microsoft Excel.

[*Note: guidelines on using EXCEL for plotting the sine function are provided on Canvas]
