Practice Problems (KEY)#

Problem 1.#

Given the following system, choose the best filter and cut-off frequency.

\[ v_{\text{in}}(t) = 8 + 3\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t) + 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 6k\,t) + 5\cos(360^\circ \cdot 8k\,t)\ \text{V} \]
\[ v_{\text{out}}(t) = 8 + 3\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t)\ \text{V} \]

Answer: LPF, \(f_{\text{c/o}} = 5\ \text{kHz}\)


Problem 2.#

T/F These two systems perform the same function.

Answer: True


Problem 3.#

Given that

\[ v(t) = 3 + 2\cos(360^\circ \cdot 1k\,t) + 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 2k\,t) + 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 6k\,t)\ \text{mV} \]

and the Band Reject Filter below, what will \(v_{\text{out}}(t)\) be?

Answer: $$ v(t) = 3

  • 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 6k,t)\ \text{mV} $$


Problem 4.#

Plot the output of the following filters given that

\[ v(t) = 6 + 10\cos(360^\circ \cdot 1k\,t) + 8\cos(360^\circ \cdot 2k\,t) + 7\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t) + 5\cos(360^\circ \cdot 8k\,t) + \cos(360^\circ \cdot 10k\,t)\ \text{V} \]

a. LPF → \(f_{\text{c/o}} = 5\ \text{kHz}\)

b. HPF → \(f_{\text{c/o}} = 6\ \text{kHz}\)

c. BPF → \(f_{\text{c/o,1}} = 3\ \text{kHz}\) and \(f_{\text{c/o,2}} = 9\ \text{kHz}\)

d. BRF → \(f_{\text{c/o,1}} = 3\ \text{kHz}\) and \(f_{\text{c/o,2}} = 6\ \text{kHz}\)


Problem 5.#

Graph the following signal in the frequency domain:

\[ v(t) = 6 + 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 1k\,t) + 8\cos(360^\circ \cdot 2k\,t) + 5\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t) + 2\cos(360^\circ \cdot 7k\,t)\ \text{mV} \]


Problem 6.#

The signal given in Practice Problem 5 above is input to each of the following filters. What is the output of each filter? Provide the frequency domain plot and the equation.

a.#

$\(v(t) = 6 + 4\cos(360^\circ \cdot 1k\,t) + 8\cos(360^\circ \cdot 2k\,t)\ \text{mV}\)$


b.#

$\(v(t) = 5\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t) + 2\cos(360^\circ \cdot 7k\,t)\ \text{mV}\)$


c.#

$\(v(t) = 8\cos(360^\circ \cdot 2k\,t) + 5\cos(360^\circ \cdot 4k\,t)\ \text{mV}\)$


Problem 7.#

What is the bandwidth for each of the output signals in Practice Problem 6?

a.

\[ \text{BW} = f_{\text{high}} - f_{\text{low}} = 2000 - 0 = 2\ \text{kHz} \]

b.

\[ \text{BW} = 7000 - 4000 = 3\ \text{kHz} \]

c.

\[ \text{BW} = 4000 - 2000 = 2\ \text{kHz} \]

Problem 8.#

You just recorded your voice using a voice recorder in a room full of equipment. The equipment emits a loud \(60\ \text{Hz}\) hum. You decide you want to eliminate the hum from your recording. Your voice ranges from \(300\) to \(3400\ \text{Hz}\). Design a filter to eliminate the hum.

Option 1: Put in a HPF with \(f_{\text{c/o}} = 150\ \text{Hz}\) (any frequency between \(60\ \text{Hz}\) and \(300\ \text{Hz}\) would work)

Option 2: Put in a BPF with \(f_{\text{c/o,1}} = 150\ \text{Hz}\) and \(f_{\text{c/o,2}} = 3500\ \text{Hz}\)
