  1. Sampling.

    Consider a real valued and even function \(x(t)\) with a Fourier spectrum \(|X(\w)|\) as sketched below.

    1. Why is it that \(X(\w)\) is even and real valued?

    2. Sketch \(X(\w)\) for \(-4\w_0\leq\w\leq 4\w_0\).

    Let \(X_s\) be the spectrum of the ‘sampled’ signal \(x_s\):

    \[x_s(t) = x(t) p_{\Delta t}(t)\]

    where \(p_{\Delta t}\) is the (infinite length) pulse train with period \(\Delta t\) corresponding with the chosen sample frequency.

    1. Sketch \(X_s\) for sampling frequency \(\w_s=2\w_0\).

    2. Sketch \(X_s\) for sampling frequency \(\w_s=3\w_0/2\).
