Topics: Q-function, statistics, functions of RV Review: Ch. 5 Sec. 5.1 Do 5.11, 5.12 Hints on 5.11 Part 3) You can't use Eq. 5.1.11 (Why?) Use techniques discussed in class on 4/22. 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. |

Topics: Review Superheterodyne tuning Angle modulation, aka exponential mod. Read Chapter 4 through Section 4.1 (thru p165.) Do 3-A (not in textbook), 4.1, 4.2 Note textbook errata on page 163. |

Topics: SSB, VSB, TRF, Superhet, TDM, FDM, CDM Read 3.2.3 through end of Chapter. Do 3.11, 3.17, 3.24, The problem below. Find the image frequency for radio station WNAX. WNAX transmits DSB-SC on a 570 kHz carrier. Assume the receiver's intermediate frequency is 455 kHz and that the local oscillator runs at a higher frequency that the R.F. carrier. |

Topics: AM defined, DSB-SC, DSB-LC, Spectra of and demodulation of the above Read Ch 3 Introduction through 3.2.2 Do 2.44, 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, and note errata on pages 151 and 152, also. . . Use a computer to plot Eq. 3.2.6 (page 127). Let mn(t) = cos(2πfmt) and let a = 0.75, Ac = 10, fm = 440 Hz, and fc = 20 kHz. Turn that case in for a grade, but use your computer code to explore. What happens if a > 1? (try a = 1.2) What happens as fc is lowered toward fm? Be sure your plots have enough samples. You should have at least 10 samples per cycle of of cos(2πfct) and you should plot at least one cycle of mn(t). Use a computer for the plots for 3.3. |

Topics: Signals as vectors, Fourier Series Read Ch. 2 Section 2.2 Do 2.37 and also find [Λ(t)sgn(t)u(t)] ★ u(t) where sgn is the signum function and u is the unit step function. The Lambda function represents the unit triangle function and the star represents convolution. Optional: For a nice review and a few more details, see how Prof. Oppenheim covers Convolution in a 50 min. lecture at MIT. Lecture 4, Convolution | MIT Hint: You can watch it in 25 min. at 2x speed! Note: On 2/03/2016 at about 5 PM Prof. De Boer added brackets to the convolution problem's statment. The brackets do not change the order of operations, but they do make it easier to understand. |

Topics: Linearity, convolution Review Ch 2 Sec. 2.1; Read Ch 2 Sec. 2.5. Do 2.7, 2.24, 2.34 Note: On 2/01 Prof. De Boer corrected an error in the reading assignemnt. He had posted "Sec. 2.2" which was wrong so he changed it to "Sec. 2.5" which is the actual material covered by problem 2.7. |

Topics: Types of signals & systems Read: Ch 1 Sec. 1.4, Ch.2 through Sec. 2.1 Do (p. 101) 2.1 (all parts), 2.5, 2.6, 2.16. Use a computer to make the plots for 2.1. Octave or Matlab are recommended. Here is a m-file to get you started. DDB's "Toolbox" files including u.m, rect.m, sinc.m and triangle.m can be downloaded as a zip archive DDB_TBX.ZIP. Hint: At the command line in Octave or Matlab type, "help sign" [enter]. Also try "help addpath", "help help" and "help exit". After file rect.m is on the path-list, note happens when you type "help rect" in the command window. Compare to the comments in the source file, rect.m. Note errata on pages 29 and 42, and 101, 102. |

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.
