161. What is the Butterworth polynomial of order 3?

A. (s2+s+1)(s-1)
B. (s2-s+1)(s-1)
C. (s2-s+1)(s+1)
D. (s2+s+1)(s+1)

Answer: D

Given that the order of the Butterworth low pass filter is 3.

Therefore, for N=3 Butterworth polynomial is given as B3(s)=(s-s0) (s-s1) (s-s2)

We know that, sk=\(e^{jπ(\frac{2k+1}{2N})} e^{jπ/2}\)

=> s0=(-1/2)+j(√3/2), s1= -1, s2=(-1/2)-j(√3/2)

=> B3(s)= (s2+s+1)(s+1).

 

162. What is the Butterworth polynomial of order 1?

A. s-1
B. s+1
C. s
D. none of the mentioned

Answer: B

Given that the order of the Butterworth low pass filter is 1.

Therefore, for N=1 Butterworth polynomial is given as B3(s)=(s-s0).

We know that, sk=\(e^{jπ(\frac{2k+1}{2N})} e^{jπ/2}\)

=> s0=-1

=> B1(s)=s-(-1)=s+1.

 

163. What is the transfer function of the Butterworth low pass filter of order 2?

A. \(\frac{1}{s^2+\sqrt{2} s+1}\)

B. \(\frac{1}{s^2-\sqrt{2} s+1}\)

C. \(s^2-\sqrt{2} s+1\)

D. \(s^2+\sqrt{2} s+1\)

Answer: A

We know that the Butterworth polynomial of a 2nd order low pass filter is

B2(s)=s2+√2 s+1

Thus the transfer function is given as \(\frac{1}{s^2+\sqrt{2} s+1}\).

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

If v(m) denote a sequence with a rate Fy=I.Fx which is obtained from x(n) by adding I-1 zeros between successive values of x(n). Thus

v(m)= x(m/I), m=0,±I,±2I…. 0, otherwise.

A. X(zI)
B. X(z+I)
C. X(z/I)
D. X(zI)

Answer: D

By taking the z-transform of the signal v(m), we get

V(z)=(sum_{m=-∞}^∞ v(m)z^{-m})

=(sum_{m=-∞}^∞ x(m)z^{-mI})

= X(z-I)

 

178. If x(m) and v(m) are the original and interpolated signals and ωy denotes the frequency variable relative to the new sampling rate, then V(ωy)= X(ωyI).

A. True
B. False

Answer: A

The spectrum of v(m) is obtained by evaluating V(z) = X(zI) on the unit circle. Thus V(ωy)= X(ωyI), where ωy denotes the frequency variable relative to the new sampling rate.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A

From the diagram, the values are interpolated between two successive values of x(n), thus it is called as sampling rate conversion using interpolation by a factor I.
