| 4/21 | 4/30 | 5/04 |
Read 5.1 Do 5.3, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 parts 1 and 2 only. Hints on 5.11 Part 3) You can't use Eq. 5.1.11 (Why?) Use techniques discussed in class. Part 4) The integral you encounter is not too hard. What is d/dy(exp(y2/22))? Part 5) You can use Eq. 5.1.11. As discussed in class on Wed. 4/28, parts 3, 4 and 5 of problem 5.11 have been deleted from this problem set. We have run out of time. |

Read 4.1, 4.2 Do this problem (not in the text): 3-A Do 4.1 Hints on problem 4.1 --For part one you should leave the integral unsolved. The "sine integral" is a tabulated function with no known analytic solution. Just show the integral in your solution. Some details of the Sine Integral can be found here A well known but heavy authority on topics like this is the handbook by Abramowitz and Stegun. Available in the John and Louise Hulst Library (you will see that this handbook is literally heavy) or electronically. See especially Section 5.2 if you like these details. You should also pay attention to units. The modulation index, is always dimensionless. The The deviation constant, kf is usually in Hz/V in our text. --For part three, delete the word "content" from the question. Since the frequency and phase of the R.F. signal vary only slowly relative to the carrier you can assume m(t) = 0 to find the power and you will get the same result as if m(t) were not zero. --For part four use Carson's Rule. (The solution to 3-A is not posted.) |

| 3/03 | 3/26 | 3/29 |
Read 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 Do 3.16, 3.18, 3.24 (The solution to 3.18 is not posted) |

| 2/22 | 2/26 | 3/03 |
Review previous reading assignment Do 3.14. |
6
| 2/12 | 2/19 | 2/22 |
Read the "Modulation Theorem" on page 72-74. Review problem 2.51 which shows that multiplication in the time domain is equivalent to convolution in the frequency domain. This is a useful theorem. Read 3.1, 3.2 Do 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 Note errata on problems 3.1, 3.3, 3.5. |
5
| 2/05 | 2/12 | 2/17 |
Read Section 2.3, Review 2.1, 2.2 Do 2.26, 2.46.1, 2.46.2, 2.51 Hint: A direct application of the Fourier Transform's analysis equation to problems 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 results in a challenging integral. A lookup table of integrals would be a potential way to get a correct answer, but these integrals are usually not given in the types of lookup tables included in a typical calculus textbook. Instead, one can use the table on page 81 of our text as a lookup table of integrals. Application of the properties of Fourier Transforms is also helpful. |

2/10 L. Euler |
Review Sections 2.1, 2.2 Do 2.34.2, 2.34.6, 2.39.5, 2.39.11, 2.39.12 Note publisher's errata on 2.39, page 113, lines 6 through 17. In general, the subscript on x(t) should match the problem part number. Hint for 2.39.5: x5(t) is a very simple signal given in a messy form. Hint for 2.39.11 and 2.39.12: Use a corollary of Euler's formula to expess the signal as a complex exponential. Exponentials are easier to integrate than trigonometric functions. (See the end of this page on Euler's formula.) |

| 1/25 | 1/29 | 2/03 |
Review Section 2.1. Read 2.2. Do 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.24, 2.34.3 Note errata on Problem 2.6. |

| 1/20 | 1/22 | 2/03 |
Review Chapter 2, Section 2.1 Do 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3 |

| 1/13 |
1/20 | 1/27 |
Read Chapter 1, Chapter 2 Section 2.1 Do (page 105) 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.5, 2.1.7, 2.1.9 Use a Matlab script ("m-file") to make the plots. Write the problem statement into the script as a comment. Import the script and the plot into a word processor file to control fomatting and to print. Note errata on page 31 and errata on page 44. |
Note 1) |
Homework solutions are usually available one or two class periods
after the due date. Click the "returned date" on this page to
access the solutions. If the "Returned" date is not a link (is
black, not gold) then the solution is not yet posted. Check back
later. If you click the link and get a login screen instead of
the solutions, log in using your usual courses@dordt username and
password. Then use the back icon (or alt-left-arrow on the
keyboard) twice to get back to the link on this page and click
the link again. The link only works when you are logged in to
courses@dordt.

Note 2) |
Problems sets shown above with no "assigned" date are
tentative. More problems might be added, expected due dates
might change, but problems shown will eventually be assigned.
