Problem Set #4

This assignment is worth 50 points. Please start each new problem on a new page and clearly
label the problem you are working on at the top of each page. Show all your work when
solving problems and answer any conceptual questions clearly and concisely, only addressing
the specific question. You may discuss these problems with others, but copying work from
others is prohibited. You may not use any solutions that address the specific question asked,
including from previous offerings of this course. List the names of any collaborators and
acknowledge all sources and tools you used outside the regular course readings (such as
other books, websites, computing tools, artificial intelligence, etc.).

1. Pole-zero design of digital filter. A digital filter is characterized by the following prop-
erties:

1. It is a highpass filter with one pole and zero.


2. The pole is at a distance r = 0.9 from the origin of the z-plane.
3. Constant signals do not pass through the system
(a) Plot the pole-zero pattern of the filter and determine its system function H(z) and
frequency response H(ejω ).
(b) Normalize the frequency response H(ejω ) so that H(ejπ ) = 1 by finding the appro-
priate constant k that will ensure this desired response at frequency ω = π.
(c) Determine the output of the system if the input is
π
+ 45◦

x[n] = 2 cos 6
n

(d) Determine the difference equation (input-output relation in the time domain).

2. Pole-zero plot of LTI systems. A causal LTI system has the system function

(1 − ejπ/3 z −1 )(1 − e−jπ/3 z −1 )(1 + 1.1765z −1 )


H(z) =
(1 − 0.9ejπ/3 z −1 )(1 − 0.9e−jπ/3 z −1 )(1 + 0.85z −1 )

(a) Write the difference equation satisfied by the input x[n] and the output y[n] of this
system. A computing tool can convert the polynomials’ roots to the coefficients
of each polynomial in z −1 . From this form of the system function, the numerator
represents the input terms, and the denominator represents the output terms.
(b) Plot the pole-zero diagram and indicate the region of convergence (ROC) for the
system function.
(c) Make a carefully labeled sketch of |H(ejω )| using the pole-zero locations to explain.
(d) Explain whether the following statements are true or false about this system.
i. The system is stable.
ii. The impulse response approaches a nonzero constant for large n.
iii. Because the system function has a pole at angle π/3, the magnitude of the
frequency response has a peak at approximately ω = π/3.
iv. The system is a minimum phase system.
v. The system has a causal and stable inverse.

3. Inverse systems. Consider the cascade of an LTI system with its inverse system. For the
inverse system:
H(ejω )Hi (ejω ) = 1
The impulse response of the first system is h[n] = δ[n] + 2δ[n − 1].
(a) Determine the impulse response hi [n] of a stable inverse system for h[n]. Is the
inverse system causal?
(b) Now consider the more general case where h[n] = δ[n] + αδ[n − 1]. Under what
conditions on α will there exist an inverse system that is both causal and stable?

4. Minimum-phase systems. For each of the following system functions, use minimum-phase
all-pass decomposition to specify a minimum-phase system function Hmin (z) such that
the frequency-response magnitudes of the two systems are equal: |H(ejω )| = |Hmin (ejω )|.

(a)

1 − 2z −1
H(z) =
1 + 13 z −1

(b)

(1 − 3z −1 )(1 − 41 z −1 )
H(z) =
(1 − 34 z −1 )(1 − 43 z −1 )

5. Linear-phase and generalized linear-phase systems. Consider the class of linear-phase


discrete-time filters whose frequency response has the form

H(ejω ) = |H(ejω )|e−jαω

where |H(ejω | is a real and nonnegative function of ω and α is a real constant. Also,
consider the class of generalized linear-phase filters of the form

H(ejω ) = A(ejω )e−jαω+jβ

where A(ejω ) is a real (could be negative) function of ω, and α, β are real constants.
For each filter with impulse response in the figure below, determine whether it is a
generalized linear phase filter. If it is, then find A(ejω ) , α, and β. For these filters,
indicate whether or not it also meets the more stringent requirement for being a linear
phase filter.
