1) The product of two odd signals is:

a. Odd
b. Even
c. Both (a) and (b)
d. Zero

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) Even

Description: Let x1(n) and x2(n) be the two signals.


If both these signals are odd, x1(-n) = - x1(n) and x2(-n) = - x2(n)

If a signal is even, x(-n) = x(n)

x(-n) = x1(-n) . x2(-n)

x(-n) = - x1(n). - x2(n)

x(-n) = x1(n). x2(n)

It means that x(-n) = x(n), which is even.

Hence, the product of two odd signals is even.

2) The system given by y(n) = x(n) + 1/x(n - 1) is:

a. Linear
b. Causal
c. Both (a) and (b)
d. None of the above

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) Causal

Description:

Step 1: The system is causal if its output depends only on the past and present inputs.
Let's check its causality.

We will check the value of y(n) for different values of n.

For,

n= 0, y(0) = x(0) + 1/x(-1)

n = 1, y(1) = x(1) + 1/x(0)

Thus, the system is causal.


Step 2: The system that satisfies the superposition theorem can be classified as the
linear system.

Y1(n) = x1(n) + 1/x1(n - 1)

Y2(n) = x2(n) + 1/x2(n - 1)

To satisfy the linearity, ay1(n) + by2(n) = ax1(n) + bx2(n)

LHS

ay1(n) + by2(n) = a [x1(n) + 1/x1(n - 1)] + b [x2(n) + 1/x2(n - 1)]

ay1(n) + by2(n) = ax1(n) + bx2(n) + a/x1(n - 1) + b/x2(n - 1)

It is not equal to RHS

Hence, the system is non-linear.

3) Which of the following is not a type of discrete system?

a. Recursive systems
b. Dynamic systems
c. Non-causal systems
d. Non-dynamic systems

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (d) Non-dynamic systems

calculated using the formula:

a. n = n1 - n2 + 1
b. n = n1 + n2 - 1
c. n = n1 - n2 - 1
d. n = n1 + n2 + 1

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) n = n1 + n2 - 1

Description: The formula to calculate the length of the sequence of two signals is n =


n1 + n2 - 1. For example,

If, n1 = 4 and n2 = 3, n = 4 + 3 - 1 = 6

10) The Z-transform of the function y(n) = x(n) + y(n - 1) is:

a. z/ z + 1
b. z/ 2z
c. z/ z - 1
d. z - 1/z

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (c) z/ z - 1

Description: Given signal: y(n) = x(n) + y(n - 1)

Applying Z-transform on both the sides,

Z [y(n)] = Z [x(n)] + Z y[(n - 1)]


Y(z) = X(z) + z^(-1) Y(z)

Y(z) - z^(-1) Y(z) = X(z)

Y(z) (1 - 1/z) = X(z)

Y(z) (1 - 1/z) = X(z)

Y(z)/X(z) = 1/ (1 - 1/z)

H(z) = z / z-1

Thus, the Z-transform of the function y(n) = x(n) + y(n - 1) is z / z-1, which is option (c).

11) The z-transform of the signal a^nx(n) is:

a. X(za)
b. X(z/a)
c. X(z + a/a)

a. 1 + 2z^-1
b. 1 + 2z^2
c. 1 - 2z
d. 1/2z

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (a) 1 + 2z^- 1
Description: The Z-transform of a sequence n is given by:

Z [y(n)] = Z [x(n)] + Z [2x(n - 1)]

Y(z) = X(z) + 2z^-1X(z)

Y(z) = X(z) (1 + 2z^-1)

Y(z)/X(z) = 1 + 2z^-1

H(z) = 1 + 2z^-1

13) The addition of zeroes at the end of the sequence when it is represented as the power

a. 3z/z - 3
b. z / z + 3
c. z / z + 3
d. z / z - 3
Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (d) z/ z - 3

Description: Z-transform is given by:

So,

H(z) = 1/(1 - 3/z)

H(z) = z/ z - 3

Hence, z-transform of the system h(n) = 3^n u(n) is z/ z - 3.

40 sequences with a length of 900 another sequences using 64 DFT.

a. 36
b. 64
c. 54
d. 28

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (a) 36

Description: Let the two sequences be M and N.

M = 40

N = 900

Number of DFT = 64

The number of smaller DTS required = L + M - 1 = Number of given DFT points

L + M - 1 = 64

L + 40 - 1 = 64

L = 25

Total blocks = N / L = 900/25 = 36

Hence, the number of smallest DFTs required to compute the linear convolution is 36.

Hide Answer Workspace

Answer: (b) {0.5, 0, 0.5, 0}

Description: IDFT is given by:

x(n) = IDFT [X(k)]

Step 1: For, n = 0

x(0) = ¼ [ x(0) + x(1) + x(2) + x(3)]

= ¼[1 + 0 + 1 + 0]

= 2/4

= 1/2

= 0.5

Step 2: For, n = 1

x(1) = ¼ [ x(0) + x(1) + x(2) + x(3)]


= ¼[1 + 0(j)+ 1(-1) + 0(-j)]

= ¼ [1 +0 -1 + 0]

=0

Step 3: For, n = 2

x(2) = ¼ [ x(0) + x(1) + x(2) + x(3)]

= ¼[1 + 0(-1)+ 1(1) + 0(-1)]

= ¼[1 + 0 + 1 + 0]

= 2/4

= 1/2

= 0.5

Step 4: For, n = 3

x(3) = ¼ [ x(0) + x(1) + x(2) + x(3)]

= ¼[1 + 0(-j)+ 1(-1) + 0(j)]

= ¼ [1 +0 - 1 + 0]

=0

Thus, x(n) = {0.5, 0, 0.5, 0}
