# Signal Analysis Problem
Given:
- **Autocorrelation function:**
\( R_s(\tau) = 400 \cdot \mathrm{sinc}(200\tau) \cos(100\pi \tau) \)
## (a) Plot the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of \( s(t) \): \( S(f) \)
### Step 1: Fourier Transform of \( R_s(\tau) \)
The PSD \( S(f) \) is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function \( R_s(\tau) \):
\[
S(f) = \mathcal{F}\{ R_s(\tau) \}
\]
Given \( R_s(\tau) = 400\, \mathrm{sinc}(200\tau) \cos(100\pi\tau) \):
- \( \mathrm{sinc}(a\tau) \) Fourier transforms to \( \frac{1}{|a|} \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f}{2a} \right) \)
- \( \cos(2\pi f_ \tau) \) in time multiplies to frequency shift in \( f \) domain by \( \pm f_ \)
Let’s rewrite:
- \( \mathrm{sinc}(200\tau) \) FT \( \rightarrow \frac{1}{200} \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f}{400} \right) \)
- \( \cos(100\pi\tau) = \cos(2\pi(50)\tau) \) (since \( 100\pi = 2\pi \cdot 50 \)), FT \( \rightarrow \) frequency shift by \( \pm 50 \) Hz
Thus, by modulation property:
\[
S(f) = 400 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{1}{200} \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f-50}{400} \right) + \frac{1}{200} \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f+50}{400} \right) \right]
\]
\[
= 1 \cdot \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f-50}{400} \right) + 1 \cdot \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f+50}{400} \right)
\]
### Step 2: Description of PSD
- Each \( \mathrm{rect}\left( \frac{f-f_}{400} \right) \) is a rectangle of width 400 Hz, centered at \( f_ \).
- So, the PSD consists of two rectangles:
- Centered at \( +50 \) Hz (from \( -150 \) Hz to \( +250 \) Hz)
- Centered at \( -50 \) Hz (from \( -250 \) Hz to \( +150 \) Hz)
- Amplitude: 1
### Step 3: Plot
Below is a sketch of the PSD (not actual code, but a description):
```plaintext
Amplitude
|
1 + _______ _______
| | | | |
| | | | |
+--------|-------|---------|-------|----------
-250 -150 +150 +250 Frequency (Hz)
```
- Left rectangle: from \( f = -250 \) Hz to \( f = +150 \) Hz, centered at \( -50 \) Hz
- Right rectangle: from \( f = -150 \) Hz to \( f = +250 \) Hz, centered at \( +50 \) Hz
- Overlap from \( -150 \) Hz to \( +150 \) Hz, where the value is 2
---
## (b) Find the Total Power of \( s(t) \): \( P_s \)
Total power is the area under the PSD:
\[
P_s = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} S(f)\,df
\]
Since the rectangles overlap, calculate the total area:
- Each rectangle: width \( 400 \) Hz, height \( 1 \), area \( 400 \)
- Overlap region: \( -150 \) Hz to \( +150 \) Hz, width \( 300 \) Hz, counted twice
So, total area:
\[
P_s = \text{Area of both rectangles} - \text{Area of overlap}
\]
\[
= 2 \times 400 - 300 = 800 - 300 = 500
\]
**Total Power:**
\[
\boxed{500}
\]
---
## (c) PSD at Output of Filter \( H(f) \):
Filter characteristic:
\[
H(f) = \begin{cases}
10 & |f| < 50\,\text{Hz} \\
& \text{elsewhere}
\end{cases}
\]
Output PSD:
\[
S_y(f) = |H(f)|^2 \cdot S(f)
\]
So, for \( |f| < 50\,\text{Hz} \), \( |H(f)|^2 = 100 \), elsewhere .
- From part (a), \( S(f) = 2 \) in the overlap region (\( -50 < f < 50 \)), since both rectangles overlap there.
### Output PSD:
\[
S_y(f) = \begin{cases}
200 & |f| < 50\,\text{Hz} \\
& \text{elsewhere}
\end{cases}
\]
---
## (d) Total Output Power \( P_y \):
\[
P_y = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} S_y(f)\,df = \int_{-50}^{50} 200\,df = 200 \times (50 - (-50)) = 200 \times 100 = 20{,}000
\]
**Total Output Power:**
\[
\boxed{20,\!000}
\]
---
## Summary Table
| Part | Quantity | Result/Expression |
|------|-----------------------|------------------------------------------|
| (a) | PSD \( S(f) \) | Two rectangles at \( \pm50 \) Hz, width 400 Hz, height 1 |
| (b) | Total Power \( P_s \) | \( 500 \) |
| (c) | Output PSD \( S_y(f) \) | \( 200 \) for \( |f| < 50 \) Hz, elsewhere |
| (d) | Output Power \( P_y \) | \( 20,\!000 \) |
