Problem 4. (16 POINTS; PART (1) 5 POINTS, PART (II) 6 POINTS, PART (III) 5 POINTS)
Recall that a family of discrete-time harmonically-related complex exponentials (HRCES) is:
$$x_k[n] = e^{j2\pi kn/N}, k = 0, ..., N-1.$$
In this problem, consider the family with fundamental frequency $$\omega = \frac{\pi}{4}$$.
(i) Write the expression for this HRCE signal family. What is the value of N?
