The function w(t)=δ(t+10)-2δ(t+1)+3δ(t-5) consisting of three weighted δ functions is represented graphically as three weighted arrows at t= -10, -1, 5, weighted by the appropriate constants.
The function w ( t ) = δ ( t + 10 ) - 2 δ ( t + 1 ) + 3 δ ( t - 5 ) consisting of three weighted δ functions is represented graphically as three weighted arrows at t = -10, -1, 5, weighted by the appropriate constants.

The discrete time counterpart of δ ( t ) is the (discrete) delta function

δ [ k ] = 1 k = 0 0 k 0 .

While there are a few subtleties (i.e., differences) between δ ( t ) and δ [ k ] , for the most part they act analogously. For example, the program specdelta.m calculates the spectrum of the (discrete) delta function.

time=2; % length of timeTs=1/100;                   % time interval between samples t=Ts:Ts:time;               % create time vectorx=zeros(size(t));           % create signal of all zeros x(1)=1;% delta function plotspec(x,Ts)              % draw waveform and spectrum
specdelta.m plots the spectrum of a delta function (download file)

The output of specdelta.m is shown in [link] . As expected from [link] , the magnitude spectrum of the delta function is equal to 1 at all frequencies.

Calculate the Fourier transform of δ ( t - t 0 ) from the definition. Now calculate it using the time shift property [link] . Are they the same?Hint: They had better be.

Use the definition of the IFT [link] to show that

δ ( f - f 0 ) e j 2 π f 0 t .

Mimic the code in specdelta.m to find the spectrum of the discrete delta function when:

  1. The delta does not occur at the start of x . Try x[10]=1 , x[100]=1 , and x[110]=1 . How do the spectra differ? Can you use the time shift property [link] to explain what you see?
  2. The delta changes magnitude x . Try x[1]=10 , x[10]=3 , and x[110]= 0.1 . How do the spectra differ? Can you use the linearity property [link] to explain what you see?

Modify the code in specdelta.m to find the phase spectrum of a signal that consists of a delta function when the nonzero termis located at the start ( x(1)=1 ), the middle ( x(100)=1 ) and at the end ( x(200)=1 ).

Mimic the code in specdelta.m to find the spectrum of a train of equally spaced pulses. For instance, x(1:20:end)=1 spaces the pulses 20 samples apart, and x(1:25:end)=1 places the pulses 25 samples apart.

  1. Can you predict how far apart the resulting pulses in the spectrum will be?
  2. Show that
    k = - δ ( t - k T s ) 1 T s n = - δ ( f - n f s ) ,
    where f s = 1 / T s . Hint: Let w ( t ) = 1 in [link] .
  3. Now can you predict how far apart the pulses in the spectrum are? Your answer should be in terms of how farapart the pulses are in the time signal.

In [link] , the spectrum of a sinusoid was shown to consist of two symmetrical spikes in the frequency domain,(recall [link] ). The next example shows why this is true by explicitly taking the Fouriertransform.

Let w ( t ) = A sin ( 2 π f 0 t ) , and use Euler's identity [link] to rewrite w ( t ) as

advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
