DSP Lab - SAMPLE viva questions

1. What is MATLAB?
2. What are the applications of MATLAB?
3. State sampling theorem.
4. What is meant by y!"ist rate an# y!"ist criteria?
$. %&plain scaling an# s"perposition properties of a system.
'. What is meant by linearity of a system an# ho( it is relate# to scaling an#
s"perposition?
). What is imp"lse f"nction?
*. What is meant by imp"lse response?
+. What is energy signal? ,o( to calc"late energy of a signal?
1-. What is po(er signal? ,o( to calc"late po(er of a signal?
11. .ifferentiate bet(een e/en an# o## signals.
12. %&plain time in/ariance property of a system (ith an e&ample.
13. What is memory less system?
14. When a system is sai# to ha/e memory?
1$. What is meant by ca"sality?
1'. %&plain linear con/ol"tion an# circ"lar con/ol"tion.
1). What is the length of linear an# circ"lar con/ol"tions if the t(o se!"ences are
ha/ing the length n1 an# n2?
1*. What are 0o"rier series an# 0o"rier transform?
1+. What are the a#/antages an# special applications of 0o"rier transform1 0o"rier
series1 2 transform an# Laplace transform?
2-. .ifferentiate bet(een .T0T an# .0T. Why it is a#/antageo"s to "se .0T in
comp"ters rather than .T0T?
3n .T0T1 fre!"ency appears to be contin"o"s. B"t1 in .0T1 fre!"ency is #iscrete.
This property is "sef"l for comp"tation in comp"ters.
21. ,o( to perform linear con/ol"tion "sing circ"lar con/ol"tion?
3f t(o signals & 4n5 an# y 4n5 are of length n1 an# n21 then the linear con/ol"te#
o"tp"t 6 4n5 is of length n17n281. %ach of the inp"t signals is pa##e# (ith 6eros to
ma9e it of length n17n281. Then circ"lar con/ol"tion is #one on 6ero pa##e#
se!"ences to get the linear con/ol"tion of original inp"t se!"ences & 4n5 an# y 4n5.
22. What is meant by correlation?
:orrelation is the meas"re of similarity bet(een t(o signal;(a/eforms. 3t
compares the (a/eforms at #ifferent time instants.
23. What is a"to8correlation?
3t is a meas"re of similarity of similarity of a signal;(a/eform (ith itself.
24. What is cross8correlation?
2$. What are the a#/antages of "sing a"tocorrelation an# cross correlation properties in
signal processing fiel#s?
2'. ,o( a"to8correlation can be "se# to #etect the presence of noise?
2). .ifferentiate bet(een 33< filters an# 03< filters.
2*. What is the proce#"re to #esign a #igital B"tter(orth filter?
2+. What is the #ifference bet(een B"tter(orth1 :hebyshe/ 3 an# :hebyshe/ 33 filters?
3-. What are #ifference e!"ations an# #ifferential e!"ations?
31. What is non real time processing?
32. What is meant by real time processing?
Ability to collect1 analy6e1 an# mo#ify signals in real8time
<eal8Time= As these signals are occ"rring
We can analy6e an# process signals (hile collecting them1 not at a later
