Inhaltsverzeichnis (Table of Contents)

• The following continuous-time signal is sampled in the time interval of t = 0 ≤t< 40 *10^-3\nsec and fs = 25000 Hz
  • Find the DFT of the resultant discrete-time signal and plot its magnitude versus the "actual" frequency.
  • Explain what you see in the graph. (You can use fft command in MATLAB to find the DFT of the signal)
• Let's repeat the above procedure in the time interval of t = 0 ≤t < 38 * 10 ^-3 Sec.
  • Why the DFT magnitudes plot is different compared to the one obtained in the previous question?
  • Explain. (This effect is called: spectral leakage!)
• Consider the following finite length signals:
  • x1 = [1 21-26 0 1 -1 2];
  • x2 = [1 -2 4 7 1];
  • They both start at n = 0.
  • Find the convolution of the signals using the “conv” function in MATLAB.
  • Find the convolution of the signals using the DFT and IDFT method. Employ 16-point DFT and IDFT.
  • Show that results of part (a) and part (b) are identical (ignore the padded zeros at the end of the signal that you obtained in part (b)).

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The following continuous-time signal is sampled in the time interval of t = 0 ≤t< 40 *10^-3\nsec and fs = 25000 Hz

This section explores the DFT of a specific continuous-time signal sampled at a frequency of 25000 Hz within a time interval of 40 milliseconds. It involves finding the DFT of the sampled signal and plotting its magnitude versus the actual frequency, using MATLAB's "fft" command. The explanation focuses on the interpretation of the obtained graph.

Let's repeat the above procedure in the time interval of t = 0 ≤t < 38 * 10 ^-3 Sec.

Here, the same procedure from the previous chapter is repeated, but with a slightly shorter time interval of 38 milliseconds. The document analyzes the resulting DFT magnitude plot and compares it to the plot obtained previously, highlighting the difference caused by spectral leakage. It explains why this occurs due to the non-integer number of periods in the sampled signal.

Consider the following finite length signals:

This section investigates the convolution of two finite-length signals: x1 and x2. It demonstrates how to perform convolution using both the MATLAB "conv" function and the DFT/IDFT method. The chapter also shows that the results obtained using both methods are identical, highlighting the equivalence of these approaches.
