The instructions and requirements for the digital signal processing exam held at cork institute of technology in 2012. The exam covers topics such as finding the transfer function h(z) and its poles and zeros, graph the frequency response, determining the filter class and suggesting applications. It also includes questions on analog filters, using the bilinear transform technique to design digital filters, and investigating the poles/zeros and frequency response of an fir filter.

(i) Find an expression for H(z). (ii) Plot its poles & zeros in the z-plane (iii) Graph its Frequency Response (magnitude and phase) over the range 0 < ω < π. (iv) What class of filter does y(n) represent? (v) Suggest an application for this filter and determine a sampling frequency.
(30 marks)
(b) The following transfer function H(s) describes an analog filter.
Graph its frequency response (both amplitude/phase) over and comment on the results (i.e. maximum value, bandwidth, filter type, stability).
( 20 marks)
(c) Using the Bilinear Transform technique design a digital filter to have similar properties to the continuous time filter H(s) in (b) above with (i) No pre-warping with Ts = 0.025 seconds (ii) No pre-warping with Ts = 2 seconds (iii) With pre-warping with Ts = 0.025 seconds and a critical frequency of 5Hz
Specify the Difference Equation, y(n) for (c) (i) and plot it if x(n) is an impulse function.
( 50 marks)
Graphs, calculations and MATLAB code must be included in your answer.
