Exercise 1

The document describes two signal processing problems and their solutions. Problem 1 involves determining the minimum sampling frequency to avoid aliasing for a signal with spectrum up to 10 kHz. The solution is that the minimum sampling frequency is 20 kHz. Problem 2 involves determining signal and aliasing levels at specific frequencies, and the minimum sampling frequency needed for a 10:1 signal-to-aliasing ratio at 15 kHz. The solution is that the minimum sampling frequency is 44.4 kHz.

300069 Digital Signal Processing / 300596 Advanced Signal Processing: Exercise 1

Exercise 1

Problem 2.2
A signal has the spectrum depicted in Figure 2.45. Determine the minimum sampling
frequency to avoid aliasing. Assume the signal is sampled at a rate of 16 kHz, and sketch
the spectrum of the sampled signal in the interval 16 kHz. Indicate the relevant
frequencies including the foldover frequency in your sketch.


|X(f)|




f (kHz) -10 10


Figure 2.45

Solution

The highest frequency in the signal is 10 kHz. Therefore, the minimum sampling
frequency to avoid aliasing is 20 kHz (2 x 10 kHz).

Now, the sampling frequency is 16 kHz. The spectrum |Xs(f)| of the sampled signal in the
interval 16 kHz is given below.

|Xs(f)|
10 -10





f (kHz) -16 -6 6 16




Problem 2.9
The front end of a real-time DSP system is depicted in Figure 2.46. Assume a wideband
input signal.

(a) Sketch the spectrum of the signal before sampling (point A) and after sampling
(point B) between the range Fs/2.
(b) Determine the signal and aliasing error levels at 15 kHz and the Nyquist
frequency (i.e., 30 kHz).
(c) Determine the minimum sampling frequency, Fs (min), to give a signal-to-
aliasing error level of 10:1 at 15 kHz. State any assumptions made.
