Q5. (Difficulty: \star⋆) If we represent finite-length signals as vectors in Euclidean space, many operations on signals can be encoded as a matrix-vector multiplication. Consider for example a circular shift in \mathbb{C}
: a delay by one (i.e. a right shift) transforms the signal \mathbf{x} = [x_0 \, x_1 \, x_2]^Tx=[x

into \mathbf{x}’ = [x_2 \, x_0 \, x_1]^Tx

and it can be described by the matrix

D= ⎡⎣010001100⎤⎦

so that \mathbf{x}’ = D\mathbf{x}x

=Dx.

Determine the matrix FF that implements the one-step-difference operator in {C}
i.e. the operator that transforms a signal \mathbf{x}x into [(x_0-x_2) \,\, (x_1-x_0) \,\, (x_2-x_1)]^T[(x

Q9. (Difficulty: \star\star⋆⋆) Pick the correct sentence(s) among the following ones regarding the DFT \mathbf{X}X of a signal \mathbf{x}x of length NN, where NN is odd.

Remember the following definitions for an arbitrary signal (asterisk denotes conjugation):

hermitian-symmetry: x[0]x[0] real and x[n]=x[N-n]^*x[n]=x[N−n]
∗
for n=1,\dots,N-1n=1,…,N−1.

hermitian-antisymmetry: x[0]=0x[0]=0 and x[n]=-x[N-n]^*x[n]=−x[N−n]
∗
for n=1,\dots,N-1n=1,…,N−1.

• If the signal \mathbf{x}x is hermitian antisymmetric, then its DFT \mathbf{X}X is purely imaginary.
• If the signal \mathbf{x}x is hermitian-symmetric, then the DFT \mathbf{X}X is also hermitian-symmetric.
• If the signal \mathbf{x}x is purely real, then the DFT \mathbf{X}X is purely imaginary.
• If the signal \mathbf{x}x is hermitian-symmetric, then its DFT is real.

Q2. (Difficulty: \star⋆) We will see in later lectures that communication systems must fulfill what is called the “bandwidth constraint”, that is, the energy of the signals that they transmit must strictly fit into pre-defined frequency bands. In this problem we will look at the bandwidth constraint in the discrete-time domain.

The signal x[n]x[n] is real-valued and its spectrum is nonzero only over the [-\pi/8,\ \pi/8][−π/8, π/8] interval. Due to the bandwidth constraint we need to “fit” the signal over the bands indicated in green in the following figure

To this aim, we need to design a processing block \mathcal{H}H in order to convert x[n]x[n] into a sequence s[n]s[n] satisfying the following requirements:

The support of the DTFT of s[n] must be limited to [−3π/4, −π/2]∪[π/2, 3π/4]

The sequence s[n] must be real-valued (x[n] is real-valued)

Which of the following input/output relationships for \mathcal{H}H meet both requirements? (check all correct answers) :

s[n]=\sin(\frac{21\pi}{8}n)\cdot x[n]s[n]=sin(

Write out the closed-form analytical expression for its DFT coefficients X[k]X[k].

Be careful with your typing since the regular-expression parser can be a bit picky. Check Coursera help to enter math expression. In particular, remember that in the Coursera platform the symbols are different:

II (capital i) is used for the imaginary unit instead of jj

Euler’s number is EE instead of ee

you can also use the exponential function \exp(\cdot)exp(⋅)

\piπ is defined as pipi

The only other symbols you’ll need for the answer are the case-sensitive variables k, M, Lk,M,L.

Finally, do not forget to validate your syntax by clicking “Preview” before submitting your answer.

For instance, the expression e^{j(\pi L + 3\pi)}/(k + M)e
j(πL+3π)
/(k+M) should be entered as
