(a) Find the fundamental frequency ω 0 and Fourier series representation and its co- efficients Xk using Fourier series recognition method. (b) Select a sampling frequency which is 100 Hz higher than the Nyquist Frequency (twice of the highest frequency component) of the signal xa(t) (in Hz). (c) Is there an aliasing error in this sampling process? Why? (d) Find the expression for the sampled sequence x(n). (e) Is the sequence x(n) periodic? If yes, find the minimum period (in number of samples) of the sequence. If not, explain why. (f) Find DFS coefficients using MatlabT M^. Matching the MatlabT M^ result with your hand calculated result.
(a) What is the minimum period (in number of samples) of the sequence x(n) at this time? (b) Find DFS coefficients using MatlabT M^. Matching the MatlabT M^ result with your hand calculated result.
(a) Find the Fourier series representation and its coefficients Xk of the new signal using Fourier series recognition method. What are the differences in their coeffi- cients? (b) In MatlabT M^ , plot 3 period ( 3 N) of w(n) and x(n) sampled with the 4 times over sampling frequency. What is the time duration (in second) of the plotted signals? (c) Plot each frequency components of w(n) and x(n) in separate plots with the same length ( 3 N). From observation, comments on the following questions: i. How many periods of analog signals wa(t) and xa(t) in 3 N samples of w(n) and x(n)? Do your analysis to see if it matches your calculation.

ii. How many periods of each frequency components do you see in the plots? Show your analysis to match your observation. iii. Comment on the wave forms of signals wa(t) and xa(t) and their relationship with their signal components (time/phase delay and amplitude).
π (^6) of a real-valued periodic signal, xa(t), with a period equal to 2 · 10 −^3 seconds, find the expression of the signal.
[2 + sin(262 · 2 πt − 1)] cos(550 · 103 · 2 πt)
Find and sketch the line spectrum of the radio station signal. What is the Nyquist Frequency of the signal?
x(t) = sin(120πt) +
sin(360πt) 3
sin(600πt) 5
sin(840πt) 7
sin(1080πt) 9 which is a square-wave with signal components up to 9th harmonic and a fundamental frequency of 120 π radian/second.
(a) Select the sampling frequency that is twice the Nyquist frequency. The sampling duration should include 4 periods of the square-wave. Generate all of the harmonic components and add them together to form the composite signal. Generate hard copies of the plots for the waveforms with up to 5th, 7th and 9th harmonic contents (3 plots), respectively. Observe the changes in the waveform on the screen as each harmonic content is being added into the signal. (b) Change the sampling frequency to 750 Hz and sample 4 periods of the signal using this new sampling frequency. Generate hard copies of the plots for the waveforms with up to 5th, 7th and 9th harmonic contents (3 plots), respectively. (c) Compare and contrast these six plots and discuss your observation and conclusions in a few sentences. (d) Just for fun, you can include different delays in the harmonic components and then add them together to see the changes in signal waveforms. This is so called harmonic distortion.
