Tutorial 5 Questions - Week 6

Question 1: Question 5.12 from the textbook

A discrete-time causal LTI system has the system function:

(1 + 0.2z −1 )(1 − 9z −2 )
H(z) = (1)
1 + 0.81z −2
(a) Is the system stable?
(b) Determine the expression for a minimum phase system H1 (z) and an all-pass system Hap (z) such
that:

H(z) = H1 (z)Hap (z)

Question 2: Adapted from textbook Question 5.17

For each of the following system functions, state whether or not it is a minimum-phase system. Justify
your answers.

(1 − 2z −1 )(1 + 21 z −1 )
H1 (z) =
(1 − 13 z −1 )(1 + 31 z −1 )
(1 + 14 z −1 )(1 − 41 z −1 )
H2 (z) =
(1 − 23 z −1 )(1 + 32 z −1 )
(1 − 13 z −1 )
H3 (z) =
(1 − 2 z )(1 + 2j z −1 )
j −1

z −1 (1 − 13 z −1 )
H4 (z) =
(1 − 2j z −1 )(1 + 2j z −1 )
−1 −1
(1 − 2z )(1 − 1.25z )
H5 (z) = j −1 j −1
(1 − 10 z )(1 + 10 z )

In the case system i is not minimum-phase, determine the expression for a minimum-phase system
Hmin,i (z) and an all-pass system Hap,i (z) such that Hi (z) = Hmin,i (z)Hap,i (z).

Question 3: Adapted from textbook Question 5.28

A causal LTI system has the system function:

(1 − ejπ/3 z −1 )(1 − e−jπ/3 z −1 )(1 + 1.1765z −1 )

H1 (z) =
(1 − 0.9ejπ/3 z −1 )(1 − 0.9e−jπ/3 z −1 )(1 + 0.85z −1 )

(a) Write the difference equation that is satisfied by the input x[n] and output y[n] of this system.
(b) Plot the pole-zero diagram and indicate the ROC of the system function.
(c) Plot the square magnitude of the frequency response, |H(ejω )|2 , in dB, using freqz() function in Mat-
lab. Using the pole-zero locations explain why the frequency response looks as it does. (You can use
conv() function in Matlab to determine the product of terms in the numerator and denominator).

(d) State whether the following are True or False (T/F) about the system:
• The system is stable.
• The impulse response approaches a non-zero constant for large n.
π
• Because the system function has a pole at angle 3, the magnitude of the frequency response
has a peak at approximately ω = π3 .
• The system is a minimum-phase system.
• The system has a causal and stable inverse.

Question 4
A stable and causal LTI system has the following system function:

(1 − 2ejπ/3 z −1 )(1 − 2e−jπ/3 z −1 )

Hd (z) =
(1 − 0.8ejπ/4 z −1 )(1 − 0.8e−jπ/4 z −1 )(1 + 0.85z −1 )

(a) Determine the system function Hc (z) that can compensate for the magnitude of Hd (z).

(b) Determine the system function of the cascaded system G(z) = Hd (z)Hc (z).

Question 5: Question 5.13 from the textbook

Figure 1 shows the pole-zero plots for four different LTI systems. Based on these plots, state whether or
not each system is an all-pass system.

Question
5.18
from
the
textbook
A
minimum
phase
system
with
an
equivalent
magnitude
spectrum

can
be
found
by
analyzing
the
system
function,
and
reflecting
all

poles
and
zeros
that
are
outside
the
unit
circle
to
their
conjugate

reciprocal
locations.
This
will
move
them
inside
the
unit
circle.

Then,
all
poles
and
zeros
for
Hmin (z)
will
be
inside
the
unit
circle.

Note
that
a
scale
factor
may
be
introduced
when
the
pole
or
zero
is

reflected

circle.
(a)
(1 − 2z −1 )
H(z) =
(1 + 13 z −1 )
Simply reflect the zero at z = 2 to its conjugate reciprocal location at z = 12 . Then,
determine the scale factor.

(b)
(1 + 3z −1 )(1 − 12 z −1 )
H(z) =
z −1 (1 + 13 z −1 )
−1
Simply reflect the zero at z = −3 to its conjugate reciprocal location at z = 3 . Then,
determine the scale factor.

(c)
(1 − 3z −1 )(1 − 14 z −1 )
H(z) =
(1 − 43 z −1 )
Simply reflect the zero at z = 3 to its conjugate reciprocal location at z = 13 and reflect
the pole at z = 43 to its conjugate reciprocal location at z = 34 . Then, determine the
scale factor.
