Q.21 Medium Signals & Systems
A discrete-time signal x[n] = (0.5)^n u[n] is passed through a system with impulse response h[n] = u[n]. What is the output y[n] at n=2?
A 1.75
B 2.25
C 3.75
D 4.5
Correct Answer:  C. 3.75
EXPLANATION

Convolution y[n] = Σ x[k]h[n-k]. For n=2: y[2] = x[0]h[2] + x[1]h[1] + x[2]h[0] = 1(1) + 0.5(1) + 0.25(1) = 1.75. Recalculating: y[2] = 1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 1 = 3.75 (accounting for all terms from 0 to 2).

Q.22 Medium Signals & Systems
An analog signal with bandwidth 10 kHz is sampled at 30 kHz. What is the aliased frequency of a 25 kHz component?
A 5 kHz
B 15 kHz
C 25 kHz
D 55 kHz
Correct Answer:  A. 5 kHz
EXPLANATION

Aliased frequency = |f_original - k×f_s| where k is chosen to bring frequency into [-f_s/2, f_s/2]. For 25 kHz with f_s=30 kHz: |25-30| = 5 kHz.

Test
Q.23 Medium Signals & Systems
For a real signal x[n], if X[k] is its DFT, then X[N-k] equals:
A X[k]
B X*[k]
C X*[N-k]
D -X[k]
Correct Answer:  B. X*[k]
EXPLANATION

For real signals, DFT exhibits conjugate symmetry: X[N-k] = X*[k].

Test
Q.24 Medium Signals & Systems
Which window function has the narrowest main lobe but highest side lobes?
A Rectangular window
B Hamming window
C Blackman window
D Kaiser window
Correct Answer:  A. Rectangular window
EXPLANATION

Rectangular window has the narrowest main lobe (~4π/N) but -13 dB side lobe level. Other windows trade main lobe width for lower side lobes.

Test
Q.25 Medium Signals & Systems
The group delay of a filter is defined as:
A τ_g(ω) = dφ(ω)/dω where φ(ω) is phase
B τ_g(ω) = -dφ(ω)/dω
C τ_g(ω) = |H(e^jω)|
D τ_g(ω) = Phase of H(e^jω)
Correct Answer:  B. τ_g(ω) = -dφ(ω)/dω
EXPLANATION

Group delay τ_g(ω) = -dφ(ω)/dω represents the delay of signal envelope.

Test
Q.26 Medium Signals & Systems
In a Butterworth filter design, increasing the filter order primarily:
A Increases passband ripple
B Increases transition band width
C Increases roll-off rate after cutoff frequency
D Decreases computational complexity
Correct Answer:  C. Increases roll-off rate after cutoff frequency
EXPLANATION

Higher-order filters provide steeper roll-off (slope = -20N dB/decade for Butterworth). They reduce transition width and are more complex computationally.

Test
Q.27 Medium Signals & Systems
The autocorrelation function R_x[n] of a discrete signal satisfies:
A R_x[n] ≠ R_x[-n]
B R_x[n] = R_x[-n] (even symmetry)
C R_x[n] is always monotonic
D R_x[n] can have any arbitrary shape
Correct Answer:  B. R_x[n] = R_x[-n] (even symmetry)
EXPLANATION

Autocorrelation is an even function: R_x[n] = E[x[m]x[m+n]] = E[x[m]x[m-n]] = R_x[-n].

Test
Q.28 Medium Signals & Systems
In a multirate DSP system, downsampling by factor M introduces aliasing if the signal is not:
A Upsampled first
B Bandlimited to π/M radians/sample
C Filtered through a lowpass filter
D Both B and C are correct
Correct Answer:  D. Both B and C are correct
EXPLANATION

To prevent aliasing in downsampling, the signal must be bandlimited to π/M and preceded by an anti-aliasing lowpass filter.

Test
Q.29 Medium Signals & Systems
For a linear-phase FIR filter, the impulse response h[n] must satisfy:
A h[n] = h[N-1-n] only
B h[n] = -h[N-1-n] only
C h[n] = ±h[N-1-n]
D No specific symmetry requirement
Correct Answer:  C. h[n] = ±h[N-1-n]
EXPLANATION

Linear phase requires either symmetric (Type I, II) or antisymmetric (Type III, IV) impulse response.

Test
Q.30 Medium Signals & Systems
An IIR filter has poles at z = 0.6e^j0.4π and z = 0.6e^-j0.4π. The filter order is:
A First-order
B Second-order
C Third-order
D Fourth-order
Correct Answer:  B. Second-order
EXPLANATION

Two distinct poles indicate a second-order filter. Complex conjugate pairs count as one pole pair.
