c) A PLL based frequency translator employs a programmable divide by N counter. The 2+2
reference frequency is 10kHz. Find N for translating frequency from i) 50 Hz to 60 Hz
ii) 50 Hz to 130 Hz.

bandwidth 4krad/s, obtained by a lowpass to bandpass transformation from first order
normalized lowpass maximally flat filter. Realize the filter circuit.

c) Why Bandstop filters are used? How the bandpass filter mentioned in Q 3(b), can be 4
converted into a bandstop filter of same center frequency and pass band gain 0 dB?
