Question 1
(Difficulty: ) What are the advantages of using digital signals over analog ones? Choose the correct answer(s). Digital signals can be easily stored. Processing of digital signals can be easily implemented in modern computers. Physical quantities are naturally represented by digital signals. Digital signals are more robust to noise.

Question 2
(Difficulty: ) Which one(s) of the following signals is/are digital? Photo recorded using a photographic film. Music recorded on a CD. The image of a book page on a Kindle. Music listened by the audience at a live concert.

Question 3
(Difficulty: ) Define a digital signal x[n] as
x[n] = { 0 for n 0 and n 4 (1)
n

n for n = 1, 2, 3 y [n]

and its periodic repetition

y [n] =
k =

as

x[n + 7 k] .

Compute their energy and power. Write the answer in the following format
E x Px E y Py

where you put the just one numeric value after the other with a single space between each value. Infinity is written as 'oo', that is double lowercase 'o' (without apostrophes).

Question 4
(Difficulty: ) Consider the following signal,
x[n] = [n] + 2[n 1] + 3[n 2].

Compute its moving average

x[ n ]+x[ n 1]

y [n] =

where we call $x[n]$ the input and $y[n]$ the output. Choose the correct answer(s).
y [n] = 0.5[n] + 1.5[n 1] + 2.5[n 2] + 1.5[n 3] .

The output for

n 4 = 3

is always zero.
= 1.

The output at n

does not depend on the input at n

Question 5
(Difficulty: ) A music song recorded in a studio is stored as a digital sequence on a CD. The analog signal representing the music is 2 minutes long and is sampled at a frequency
f s = 44100 s
1

. How many samples should be stored on the CD? Write the number of

samples without commas or dots. Assume that the audio file is mono, or in other words, single channel.

Question 6
(Difficulty: ) Given the following filter

What is the input-output relationship?

y [n] = b (ax[n] + x[n 1]) (c + 1)x[n 3] . y [n] = b (ax[n] + x[n 1]) (cx[n 3] + x[n 4]) . y [n] = abx[n] + bx[n 1] + cx[n 3] x[n 4] . y [n] = (bax[n] + x[n 1]) + (cx[n 3] + x[n 4]) .

Question 7
(Difficulty: ) What is the minimum period following values of M and
M = 1, N = 3 M = 5, N = 7 M = 35, N = 15 N? P

(in samples) of the signal ej(M / N )2 n for the

Please write the three values of P one after the other, with just one white space between each other.

Question 8
(Difficulty: )Listen to the following chord produced by an opportunely tuned KS algorithm.
0:04

(if you have problems seeing or using the player, download the *.wav file here. Which song starts with this initial chord? The Who - Won't get fooled again Rolling Stones - Wild Horses Ramones - Listen To My Heart The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
