Linear Filters

Part 5: Summary

  1. In what ways is a doubly-infinite sequence different from a singly infinite sequence? In what ways are they the same?

  2. Explain how we can use sequences to measure signals.

  3. Give an example of two sequences that come from the same signal, but sampled at different rates. How does the sampling rate affect our ability to reconstruct the original signal?

  4. Explain in your own words how we can regard a linear difference equation as a linear filter. What behavior that you have seen is characteristic of a linear filter?

  5. Describe how to find the real solutions of a homogeneous linear difference equation with complex characteristic roots. What properties of complex numbers do we need to use in order to do this?

  6. How do we use the real solutions of a homogeneous linear difference equation to predict which signals will be filtered out by a linear filter?

  7. How do we use the real solutions of a homogeneous linear difference equation to predict which signals will be passed through unchanged by a linear filter?
