Problem 13

Consider the following system

\begin{picture}
(380,100)(60,410)
 
\setlength {\unitlength}{0.0125in}
 %
 \put(...
 ...akebox(0,0)[rb]{$y_2(t)$}}
 \put(250,415){\makebox(0,0)[t]{$f(t)$}}\end{picture}
The spectrum of the input signal x1(t) is

\begin{displaymath}
X_1(f) = \left\{
 \begin{array}
{cl}
 1 & \mbox{for $f \leq f_0$} \\  0 & \mbox{for $f \gt f_0$}
 \end{array}\right.\end{displaymath}

and the transfer function of the linear system S1 is given by

\begin{displaymath}
H_1(f) = \left\{
\begin{array}
{cl}
 1-\frac{\vert f\vert}{2...
 ...f \leq 2f_0$} \\  0 & \mbox{for $f \gt 2f_0$}\end{array}\right.\end{displaymath}

1.
Compute and sketch the spectrum of the signal y1(t).
2.
By multiplying y1(t) with the pulse train

\begin{displaymath}
f(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t-nT)
 \end{displaymath}

we generate the signal x2(t). Find a condition on T such that y1(t) can be reconstructed completely.
3.
Assume now that $T \gt \frac{2}{f_0}$. Compute and sketch the spectrum of x2(t).
4.
The system S2 is used to recover the input signal x1(t). Find the transfer function H2(f) of S2 such that y2(t)=x1(t).
