Use your result show that the Fourier transform | | 2of a triangular pulse (such as used in parts (a) and (b)) is of the form (sin(x)/x) . Problem 2: Show that when two gaussian functions 2 f1(x) = e−axf2(x) = e−bx2 are convolved, the result is another gaussian function. Hint: Complete the square in the exponent, change the variable of integration, and recognize that 2� ∞ e−xdx = √π −∞0.50-0.5f(t)tProblem 3: Find the Fourier Transform of three equally spaced impulses as shown below: Plot the result (real and imaginary parts). Problem 4: (The following is taken from the Signal Processing PhD Quals written exam for January 2007. Note: this is not the complete exam.) Assume we have a signal x(t) with a Fourier transform X(jΩ) given by X(jΩ) = ⎧⎪⎪⎪⎨ ⎪⎪⎪⎩ 0 Ω < −2W X0/2 −2W ≤ Ω < 0 0 ≤ Ω < WX0 0 Ω ≥ W where X0 is some real valued number, W is a real valued positive number, and Ω is specified in units of radians/second.

Find and sketch y(t), the| |output of the filter. Is this a causal filter? Problem 6: After measurement and curve-fitting it is determined that a causal signal processing filter has an impulse response h(t) = 5e−3t for t > 0.. What is the filter’s (a) transfer function, and (b) its frequency response function? Determine the -6 dB cut-off frequency, that is the frequency at which the output amplitude is one half of the low frequency
