For x(t) = 1/2π cos(4000πt) cos(1000πt), with components at 2000 Hz (highest frequency), the Nyquist interval is 1/4000 seconds or 0.25 ms, matching the inverse of the Nyquist rate .
To determine the fundamental period of a discrete signal, we identify the smallest integer N such that x[n] = x[n + N] for all n. For the signal x[n] = sin²(3n + π), the fundamental period can be found by using trigonometric identities. Since sin²θ = (1 - cos(2θ))/2, the period of cos(2(3n + π)) is the same as the period of cos(6n), which requires that 6n + 2kπ = 6(n + N) + 2kπ for some integer k. Solving gives N = π, which means the signal does not have an integer period and hence is not periodic .
Aliasing occurs when a signal is sampled at a rate that is insufficient to capture its changes accurately, resulting in different signals becoming indistinguishable from each other upon reconstruction . It can be reduced by ensuring the sampling rate is at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal, known as the Nyquist rate. For the signal x(t) = 1/2π cos(4000πt) cos(1000πt), the frequencies are 2000 Hz and 500 Hz. Therefore, the highest frequency is 2000 Hz, making the Nyquist rate 4000 Hz .
Energy signals have finite energy and zero average power, while power signals have infinite energy but finite power . The signal x[n] = (1/2)^n for n ≥ 0 is an energy signal because the sum of the squares of its magnitude over all time is finite, specifically the geometric series sum for |(1/2)^n|² from n = 0 to infinity, which converges .
Determining linearity is important because it simplifies analysis and design using the superposition principle . The system y[n] = Σax[n-m] + Σbx[n-m] is linear because it satisfies both additivity and homogeneity. The response to a linear combination of inputs results in a corresponding linear combination of outputs .
A system is causal if the output at any time depends only on past and present inputs, not future ones . The system y[n] = Σx[n+k] sums over future inputs (k > 0), indicating it is non-causal because the current output relies on future input values .
To avoid aliasing, the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency in the signal, which in this case is 2000 Hz, thus the Nyquist rate is 4000 Hz . Over 1 hour, which is 3600 seconds, the number of samples needed is 3600 seconds × 4000 samples per second = 14,400,000 samples .
The even and odd components of a signal provide insights into its symmetry properties, often simplifying analysis . For x[n] = √2cos((an + 1/4)π), the even component can be found by calculating x_e[n] = (x[n] + x[-n])/2 and the odd component by x_o[n] = (x[n] - x[-n])/2. Calculations will show how the components contribute differently to the signal's behavior .
A system is time invariant if a time shift in the input signal results in an identical time shift in the output signal . For the system y[n] = x[n]g[n] + g[n-1], with g[n] = 1 for all n, we have y[n] = x[n] + 1. If the input is shifted by n₀, then the output becomes y[n-n₀] = x[n-n₀] + 1, maintaining the same structure without changes other than the shift, indicating the system is time invariant .
Increasing the number of quantization bits improves the resolution of the digital signal, reducing quantization error and resulting in a more accurate representation of the original signal . However, this also increases the bit rate and storage requirements, which may be a disadvantage if bandwidth or memory is limited .
