Question # 3
a) Determine the causal signal x(n) if its z-transform x(z) is given by: [5 Marks]
x(z) = (1 - (1/4)z^(-1))/(1 + (1/2)z^(-1)) = 1
x(n) =
b) Consider the system H(z) given by:
H(z) = (z^(-1) + (1/2)z^(-2))/(1 - (3/5)z^(-1) + (2/25)z^(-2))
Find the impulse response of the system.
Hint: write H(z) = z^(-1)Q(z) and use the time-shifting property of z-transform

Question # 2
A random signal m(t) with a highest frequency component of 30 kHz is required to be converted to a digital signal using an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The amplitude probability density function of the random input signal is uniform in [-2, +2]. The bits from the ADC are required to be stored on a digital computer for further processing. Design an ADC system that meets the following specifications: i) Signal-to-Quantization Noise Ratio (SQNR) of 42 dB or better; (ii) Sampling rate equal to 3 times that of the Nyquist rate of sampling of m(t); and (iii) NRZ signaling is used to transmit binary data over the channel to the computer [Bit 0 - +1V and Bit 1 -1V, 0 ≤ t ≤ T], where T is the bit duration. Specifically, determine the number of bits, b, required to represent each sample and determine the bit rate, fo, of the system. What is the memory requirement of the digital computer if we are required to store the digital signal for a period of 1 minute? Draw the block diagram of the ADC system and specify characteristics of each subblock of the system. Sketch the output of the ADC if the binary output sequence is 01010101....
