Module 2 : Signals in Frequency Domain
Problem 6 :
 
Solution 6

(a) Consider the signal shown below.

 

Fig. (a)

Now consider convolution of with itself. Let the resultant signal be .

Then, .

                  

 

Now, consider and .

 

Fig (b)

 

 

 

Fig (c)

 

So, when .

as there is no overlap between and .

 

When .

Then, .

Here, and .

 

So, .

               .

 

When .

Then, there is no overlap between and .

 

So, the signal is

Fig. (d)

 

 

 Now compare with the given signal . Here is

 

 

Fig. (e)

 

By comparing, we get .

 

So, can be thought of as a signal which is a convolution of the signal with itself, where is

 

Fig. (f)

 

This implies .

 

By Convolution Theorem, the Fourier Transform of is square of the Fourier Transform of , i.e. .

 

Now, consider . Its Fourier Transform is

            

            .

 

So,

 

.

 

 

(b)

Now, consider a signal , where

 

 

            

 

as .

 

So, is the shifted version of by 4k along the t axis which is shown as

 

Fig. (g)

 

Now,

 

So, is

 

Fig. (h)

 

 

(c) Any signal which is the shifted version of by 4k on the t axis can be taken as , which satisfies because by the last part we can say that when we convolve with , it will result in .

 

In this case, , where .

 

 

(d) By part (c) ,

 

, where .

 

.

 

Now, put .

 

 

 

as
