The discrete signal x[k] is downsampled by a factor of m by removing all but one of every m samples. The resulting signal is y[i], which takes on values y[i]=x[k] whenever k=im+n.
The discrete signal x [ k ] is downsampled by a factor of m by removing all but one of every m samples. The resulting signal is y [ i ] , which takes on values y [ i ] = x [ k ] whenever k = i m + n .

Mimicking the code in speccos.m with the sampling interval Ts=1/100 , find the spectrum of a cosine wave cos ( 2 π f t ) when f=30, 40, 49, 50, 51, 60 Hz. Which of these show aliasing?

Create a cosine wave with frequency 50 Hz. Plot the spectrum when this wave is sampled at Ts=1/50, 1/90, 1/100, 1/110 , and 1/200 . Which of these show aliasing?

Mimic the code in speccos.m with sampling interval Ts=1/100 to find the spectrum of a square wave with fundamental f=10, 20, 30, 33, 43 Hz. Can you predict where the spikes will occur in each case?Which of the square waves show aliasing?

The fourth element: static nonlinearities

Linear systems To be accurate, these systems must be exponentially stable and time invariant. such as filters cannot add new frequencies to a signal, though they can remove unwanted frequencies.Nonlinearities such as squaring and quantizing can and will add new frequencies. These can be usefulin the communication system in a variety of ways.

Perhaps the simplest (memoryless) nonlinearity is the square, which takes its input at each time instant and multiplies itby itself. Suppose the input is a sinusoid at frequency f , that is, x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f t ) . Then the output is the sinusoid squared, which can be rewritten using the cosine-cosine product [link] as

y ( t ) = x 2 ( t ) = cos 2 ( 2 π f t ) = 1 2 + 1 2 cos ( 2 π ( 2 f ) t ) .

The spectrum of y ( t ) has a spike at 0 Hz due to the constant, and a spike at ± 2 f Hz from the double frequency term. Unfortunately, the action of a squaring elementis not always as simple as this example might suggest. The following exercises encourage you to explore thekinds of changes that occur in the spectra when using a variety of simple nonlinear elements.

Mimic the code in speccos.m with Ts=1/1000 to find the spectrum of the output y ( t ) of a squaring block when the input is

  1. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f t ) for f = 100 Hz,
  2. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f 1 t ) + cos ( 2 π f 2 t ) for f 1 = 100 and f 2 = 150 Hz,
  3. a filtered noise sequence with nonzero spectrum between f 1 = 100 and f 2 = 300 Hz. Hint: generate the input by modifying filternoise.m .
  4. Can you explain the large DC (zero frequency) component?

TRUE or FALSE: The bandwidth of x 4 ( t ) cannot be greater than that of x ( t ) . Explain.

Try different values of f 1 and f 2 in [link] . Can you predict what frequencies will occur in the output.When is aliasing an issue?

Repeat Exercise  [link] when the input is a sum of three sinusoids.

Suppose that the output of a nonlinear block is the rectification (absolute value) of the input y ( t ) = | x ( t ) | . Find the spectrum of the output when the input is

  1. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f t ) for f = 100 Hz,
  2. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f 1 t ) + cos ( 2 π f 2 t ) for f 1 = 100 and f 2 = 125 Hz.
  3. Repeat (b) for f 1 = 110 and f 2 = 200 Hz. Can you predict what frequencies will be present for any f 1 and f 2 ?
  4. What frequencies will be present if x ( t ) is the sum of three sinusoids f 1 , f 2 , and f 3 ?

Suppose that the output of a nonlinear block is y ( t ) = g ( x ( t ) ) , where

g ( t ) = 1 x ( t ) > 0 - 1 x ( t ) 0

is a quantizer that outputs positive one when the input is positive and outputs minus one when the input is negative.Find the spectrum of the output when the input is

  1. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f t ) for f = 100 Hz,
  2. x ( t ) = cos ( 2 π f 1 t ) + cos ( 2 π f 2 t ) for f 1 = 100 and f 2 = 150 Hz.

Evolution models refer to mathematical and computational representations of the processes involved in biological evolution. These models aim to simulate and understand how species change over time through mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. Evolutionary models can be u
