B. e-j2πN
C. e-j2π/N
D. ej2π/N

We know that the Discrete Fourier transform of a signal x(n) is given as

X(k)=$$\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-j2πkn/N}=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) W_N^{kn}$$

Thus we get Nth rot of unity WN= e-j2π/N

5. Which of the following is true regarding the number of computations requires to compute an N-point DFT?

A. N2 complex multiplications and N(N-1) complex additions
B. N2 complex additions and N(N-1) complex multiplications

The formula for calculating N point DFT is given as

X(k)=$$\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-j2πkn/N}$$

From the formula given at every step of computing, we are performing N complex multiplications and N-1 complex additions. So, in a total to perform N-point DFT we perform N2 complex multiplications and N(N-1) complex additions.

6. Which of the following is true?

A. $$W_N^*=\frac{1}{N} W_{N^{-1}}$$

B. $$W_N-1=\frac{1}{N} W_{N^*}$$

D. None of the mentioned

If XN represents the N point DFT of the sequence xN in the matrix form, then we know that XN = WN.xN
By pre-multiplying both sides by WN-1, we get
xN=WN-1.XN

But we know that the inverse DFT of XN is defined as
xN=1/N*XN

Thus by comparing the above two equations we get
WN-1=1/N WN*

The first step is to determine the matrix W4. By exploiting the periodicity property of W4 and the symmetry property
$$W_{N}^{k+N/2}=-W_{N^k}$$

The matrix W4 may be expressed as

W4=$$\begin{bmatrix}W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^1\\W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^2&W_4^3\\W_4^0&W_4^2&W_4^0&W_4^3\\W_4^4&W_4^6&W_4^6&W_4^9\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^1\\W_4^0&W_4^0&W_4^2&W_4^3\\W_4^0&W_4^2&W_4^0&W_4^3\\W_4^0&W_4^2&W_4^2&W_4^1\end{bmatrix}$$
=$$\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&1\\1&-j&-1&j\\1&-1&1&-1\\1&j&-1&-j\end{bmatrix}$$

Then X4=W4.x4=$$\begin{bmatrix}6\\-2+2j\\-2\\-2-2j\end{bmatrix}$$

The Fourier series coefficients are given by the expression

ck=$$\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-j2πkn/N} = \frac{1}{N}X(k)=> X(k)=Nc_k$$
