Signal and System Frequency Analysis MCQ Quiz – Objective Question with Answer for Signal and System Frequency Analysis

21. What is the Fourier transform X(ω) of a finite energy discrete time signal x(n)?

A. \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

B. \(\sum_{n = 0}^∞x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

C. \(\sum_{n = 0}^{N-1}x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: A

If we consider a signal x(n) which is discrete in nature and has finite energy, then the Fourier transform of that signal is given as

X(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

 

22. What is the period of the Fourier transform X(ω) of the signal x(n)?

A. π
B. 1
C. Non-periodic
D. 2π

Answer: D

Let X(ω) be the Fourier transform of a discrete time signal x(n) which is given as

X(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

Now X(ω+2πk) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-j(ω+2πk)n}\)

= \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-jωn}e^{-j2πkn}\)

= \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-jωn} = X(ω)\)

So, the Fourier transform of a discrete-time finite energy signal is periodic with a period 2π.

 

23. What is the synthesis equation of the discrete-time signal x(n), whose Fourier transform is X(ω)?

A. \(2π\int_0^2π X(ω) e^jωn dω\)

B. \(\frac{1}{π} \int_0^{2π} X(ω) e^jωn dω\)

C. \(\frac{1}{2π} \int_0^{2π} X(ω) e^jωn dω\)

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

We know that the Fourier transform of the discrete time signal x(n) is

X(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

By calculating the inverse Fourier transform of the above equation, we get

x(n) = \(\frac{1}{2π} \int_0^{2π} X(ω) e^{jωn} dω\)

The above equation is known as the synthesis equation or inverse transform equation.

 

24. What is the value of discrete-time signal x(n) at n = 0 whose Fourier transform is represented as below?

A. ωc.π
B. -ωc/π
C. ωc/π
D. none of the mentioned

Answer: C

We know that, x(n) = \(\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-

\pi}^{\pi}X(\omegA.e^{j\omega n} dω\)

= \(\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-ω_c}^{ω_c}1.e^{j\omega n} dω\)

At n = 0,

x(n) = x(0) = \(\int_{-ω_c}^{ω_c}1 dω = \frac{1}{2\pi}(2 ω_C. = \frac{ω_c}{\pi_ω}\)

Therefore, the value of the signal x(n) at n = 0 is ωc/π.

 

25. What is the value of discrete time signal x(n) at n≠0 whose Fourier transform is represented as below?

A. \(\frac{ω_c}{\pi}.\frac{sin ω_c.n}{ω_c.n}\)

B. \(\frac{-ω_c}{\pi}.\frac{sin ω_c.n}{ω_c.n}\)

C. \(ω_c.\pi \frac{sin ω_c.n}{ω_c.n}\)

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: A

We know that

x(n) = \(\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}X(\omegA.e^{j\omega n} dω\)

= \(\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-ω_c}^{ω_c}1.e^{j\omega n} dω = \frac{sin ω_c.n}{ω_c.n}\)

= \(\frac{ω_c}{\pi}.\frac{sin ω_c.n}{ω_c.n}\)

 

26. The oscillatory behavior of the approximation of XN(ω) to the function X(ω) at a point of discontinuity of X(ω) is known as the Gibbs phenomenon.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A

We note that there is a significant oscillatory overshoot at ω = ωc, independent of the value of N. As N increases, the oscillations become more rapid, but the size of the ripple remains the same. One can show that as N→∞, the oscillations converge to the point of the discontinuity at ω = ωc. The oscillatory behavior of the approximation of XN(ω) to the function X(ω) at a point of discontinuity of X(ω) is known as the Gibbs phenomenon.

 

27. What is the energy of a discrete time signal in terms of X(ω)?

A. \(2π\int_{-π}^π |X(ω)|^2 dω\)

B. \(\frac{1}{2π} \int_{-π}^π |X(ω)|^2 dω\)

C. \(\frac{1}{2π} \int_0^π |X(ω)|^2 dω\)

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

We know that,

Ex = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ |x(n)|^2\)

= \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n).x^*(n)\)

= \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)\frac{1}{2π} \int_{-π}^π X^*(ω) e^{-jωn} dω\)

= \(\frac{1}{2π} \int_{-π}^π|X(ω)|^2 dω\)

 

28. Which of the following relation is true if the signal x(n) is real?

A. X*(ω) = X(ω)

B. X*(ω) = X(-ω)

C. X*(ω) = -X(ω)

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

We know that,

X(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-jωn}\)

= > X*(ω) = \([\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{-jωn}]^*\)

Given the signal x(n) is real. Therefore,

X*(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ x(n)e^{jωn}\)

= > X*(ω) = X(-ω).

 

29. For a signal x(n) to exhibit even symmetry, it should satisfy the condition |X(-ω)| = | X(ω)|.

A. True

B. False

Answer: A

We know that, if a signal x(n) is real, then

X*(ω) = X(-ω)

If the signal is even symmetric, then the magnitude on both sides should be equal.

So, |X*(ω)| = |X(-ω)| = > |X(-ω)| = |X(ω)|.

 

30. What is the energy density spectrum Sxx(ω) of the signal x(n) = anu(n), |a|<1?

A. \(\frac{1}{1+2acosω+a^2}\)

B. \(\frac{1}{1+2asinω+a^2}\)

C. \(\frac{1}{1-2asinω+a^2}\)

D. \(\frac{1}{1-2acosω+a^2}\)

Answer: D

Since |a|<1, the sequence x(n) is absolutely summable, as can be verified by applying the geometric summation formula.

\(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞|x(n)| = \sum_{n = -∞}^∞ |a|^n = \frac{1}{1-|a|} \lt ∞\)

Hence the Fourier transform of x(n) exists and is obtained as

X(ω) = \(\sum_{n = -∞}^∞ a^n e^{-jωn} = \sum_{n = -∞}^∞ (ae^{-jω})^n\)

Since |ae-jω| = |a|<1, use of the geometric summation formula again yields

X(ω) = \(\frac{1}{1-ae^{-jω}}\)

The energy density spectrum is given by

Sxx(ω) = |X(ω)|2 = X(ω).X*(ω) = \(\frac{1}{(1-ae^{-jω})(1-ae^{jω})} = \frac{1}{1-2acosω+a^2}\).
