Solution

  1. Problem 2.35
    For no aliasing to occur we must sample at the Nyquist rate
    fs = 2 ⋅ 6000 samples/sec = 12000  samples/sec

    With a guard band of 2000

    fs - 2W  = 2000 = ⇒  fs = 14000

    The reconstruction filter should not pick-up frequencies of the images of the spectrum X(f). The nearest image spectrum is centered at fs and occupies the frequency band [fs - W,fs + W]. Thus the highest frequency of the reconstruction filter (= 10000) should satisfy

    10000 ≤  fs - W = ⇒  fs ≥ 16000

    For the value fs = 16000, K should be such that

                               -1
K  ⋅ fs = 1 = ⇒ K = (16000)

    1)
               ∑∞                                 ∞∑
x1(t) =        (- 1)nx(nTs )δ (t - nTs ) = x (t)     (- 1)nδ (t - nTs)
          n=- ∞                              n=-∞
              ⌊  ∞                 ∞                  ⌋
      =   x(t)⌈  ∑   δ(t - 2lT ) - ∑   δ(t - T - 2lT )⌉
                l=- ∞         s    l= -∞        s      s
    Thus
                      ⌊                                                   ⌋
                     1   ∞∑          l       1  ∑∞          l   -j2πfT
X1 (f )  =  X (f) ⋆⌈ ----     δ(f - ----) - ----    δ (f -  ---)e      s⌉

             1  ∑∞           l      1   ∞∑           l    -j2π -lT
        =  ----     X (f -  ---) - ----     X (f - ----)e    2Ts s
           2Ts l=-∞         2Ts    2Ts l= -∞        2Ts
             1  ∑∞           l      1   ∞∑           l       l
        =  ----     X (f -  ---) - ----     X (f - ----)(- 1)
           2Ts l=-∞         2Ts    2Ts l= -∞        2Ts
            1  ∑∞           1     l
        =  ---     X (f -  ----- --)
           Ts l=-∞         2Ts   Ts

    2) The spectrum of x(t) occupies the frequency band [-W,W]. Suppose that from the periodic spectrum X1(f) we isolate Xk(f) = 1 _ TsX(f - 1 __ 2Ts - k _ Ts), with a bandpass filter, and we use it to reconstruct x(t). Since Xk(f) occupies the frequency band [2kW, 2(k + 1)W], then for all k, Xk(f) cannot cover the whole interval [-W,W]. Thus at the output of the reconstruction filter there will exist frequency components which are not present in the input spectrum. Hence, the reconstruction filter has to be a time-varying filter. To see this in the time domain, note that the original spectrum has been shifted by f = 1 __ 2Ts. In order to bring the spectrum back to the origin and reconstruct x(t) the sampled signal x1(t) has to be multiplied by e-j2π 1 __ 2Tst = e-j2πWt. However the system described by

            j2πWt
y (t) = e     x(t)

    is a time-varying system.

    3) Using a time-varying system we can reconstruct x(t) as follows. Use the bandpass filter TsΠ(f-W 2W ) to extract the component X(f - 1 __ 2Ts). Invert X(f - 1 __ 2Ts) and multiply the resultant signal by e-j2πWt. Thus

                       [                  ]
        -j2πWt  -1       f --W--
x(t) = e      F     TsΠ(  2W   )X1 (f)

  3. Problem 3.17
    The input to the upper LPF is
    uu (t)  =   cos(2πfmt) cos(2πf1t)
           1-
       =   2 [cos(2π (f1 - fm )t) + cos(2π (f1 + fm )t)]
    whereas the input to the lower LPF is
    ul(t)  =   cos(2πfmt) sin(2πf1t )
          1
      =   --[sin(2π(f1 - fm )t) + sin (2π(f1 + fm)t)]
          2
    If we select f1 such that |f1 - fm| < W and f1 + fm > W, then the two lowpass filters will cut-off the frequency components outside the interval [-W,W], so that the output of the upper and lower LPF is
    yu(t) =   cos(2π(f1 - fm )t)

yl(t) =   sin(2π(f1 - fm )t)
    The output of the Weaver’s modulator is
    u (t) = cos(2π (f  - f  )t)cos(2πf t) - sin(2π (f - f  )t)sin (2πf t)
                1   m           2             1    m          2

    which has the form of a SSB signal since sin(2π(f1 - fm)t) is the Hilbert transform of cos(2π(f1 - fm)t). If we write u(t) as

    u(t) = cos(2π(f1 + f2 - fm)t)

    then with f1 + f2 - fm = fc + fm we obtain an USSB signal centered at fc, whereas with f1 + f2 - fm = fc - fm we obtain the LSSB signal. In both cases the choice of fc and f1 uniquely determine f2.
