DSP Lab # 8 Sampling in Time Domain: Questions

The document describes a digital signal processing lab experiment on sampling in the time domain. It contains code to sample a sinusoidal signal and reconstruct it using low-pass filtering. It asks questions about the effect of changing the signal frequency and sampling rate on the discrete-time signal and whether aliasing occurs.

DSP LAB # 8 Sampling in time domain


Following program demonstrates effect of sampling in time domain. A analog signal is
sampled and reconstructed using low pass filtering.

f = 13;
xa = cos(2*pi*f*t);
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(t,xa);grid

ylabel('Amplitude');

axis([0 1 -1.2 1.2])
subplot(2,1,2);
T = 0.1;
n = 0:T:1;
xs = cos(2*pi*f*n);

Questions

Q1.1 What is the frequency in Hz of the sinusoidal signal? What is the sampling period in
seconds?
Q1.2 Repeat the program by changing the frequency of the sinusoidal signal to 3 Hz and
7 Hz, respectively. Is there any difference between the corresponding equivalent discrete-
time signals. If not, why not?

Aliasing Effect in the Time Domain


In this project you will generate a continuous-time equivalent y(t) of the discrete-time
signal x[n] to investigate the relation between the frequency of the sinusoidal signal x(t)
and the sampling period. To generate the reconstructed signal y(t) from x[n], we pass x[n]
through an ideal lowpass filter.
