Answer: a
Explanation: We know that sin ω0 t ↔ jπ[δ(ω+ω0) – δ(ω-ω0)]
sin 2πt ↔ jπ[δ(ω+2π)-δ(ω-2π)]
Here ωm = 2π
But ωm = 2πfm
∴ fm = 1 Hz
Nyquist rate, Fs = 2fm = 2 Hz

View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Nyquist rate and Nyquist interval are independent of Amplitude (magnitude scaling). But time scaling
will change the rate.
We know that sinc[t] ↔ G2π(ω)
Here ωm = 2π
2πfm = π
∴ 2fm = 1
Nyquist rate, Fs = 2fm = 1 Hz
Nyquist interval, T = = 1 sec.

5. Which of the following is the process of ‘aliasing’?


a) Peaks overlapping
b) Phase overlapping
c) Amplitude overlapping
d) Spectral overlapping
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Aliasing is defined as the phenomenon in which a high frequency component in the frequency
spectrum of the signal takes the identity of a lower frequency component in the spectrum of the sampled signal.
Aliasing can occur if either of the following condition exists:
• The signal is not band-limited to a finite range.
• The sampling rate is too low.

a) ∞ Hz, 0 sec
b) 0 Hz, ∞ sec
c) ∞ Hz, ∞ Hz
d) 0 Hz, 0 sec
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Given f(t) = rect(200t), which is a rectangular pulse signal having pulse width of 1/200 seconds. Since
the signal is a finite duration signal, it is not band-limited. The signal spectrum consists of infinite frequencies.
Hence, Nyquist rate is infinity and Nyquist interval is zero.

11. Determine the Nyquist rate of the signal x(t) = 1 + cos 2000πt + sin 4000πt.
a) 2000 Hz
b) 4000 Hz
c) 1 Hz
d) 6000 Hz
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Given x(t) = 1 + cos 2000πt + sin 4000πt
Highest frequency component in 1 is zero
Highest frequency component in cos2000πt is ωm1 = 2000π
Highest frequency component in sin4000πt is ωm2 = 4000π
So the maximum frequency component in x(t) is ωm = 4000π [highest of 0, 2000π, 4000π]
∴ 2πfm = 4000π
2fm = 4000
Nyquist rate, Fs = 2fm = 4000 Hz.

12. Find the Nyquist rate and Nyquist interval for the signal f(t) = -10 sin 40πt cos 300πt.
a) 40 Hz, 40 sec
b) 340 Hz, 340 sec
c) 300 Hz, 300 sec
d) 340 Hz, sec

340

View Answer (https://freestar.io/?utm_medium=stickyFooter)

Answer: d
Explanation: sin 40πt has highest frequency ωm1 = 40π
cos300πt has highest frequency ωm2 = 300π
As we know, multiplication in time domain is equivalent to convolution in frequency domain, the convoluted
spectra will have highest frequency component ωm = ωm1 + ωm2 = 40π + 300π
ωm = 340π
2πfm = 340π
2fm = 340
Nyquist rate, Fs = 2fm = 340 Hz
Nyquist interval, T = sec.

=
Fs 340
