Question 3: (a) 5pts (b-c) 10pts (d) 5pts [30pts]
Consider the system shown below. The input audio signal has the Fourier transform Xc(w) with w0= 2π x
4KHz. T. The discrete time system is an ideal LPF with a cut-off frequency, Ωc = π/4.

Xc(w)
w
− w0 w0
a) What is the maximum sampling period, T so that the aliasing can be avoided?
b) What is the BW of the output signal with the sampling period found in (a) is used? Draw the
spectrum of yr(t), Yr(w).
c) To accomplish yr(t)=Kxc(t) with some constant K, what is the maximum sampling period, T?
d) If the input audio signal’s highest 1 KHz spectrum band (3Khz-4KHz) is severely corrupted with
noise, what should be the sampling period, T, in order to clean the noise with the minimal loss
from the input signal?
