    EE 329: Homework 6  
 
 Date Assigned:  Wednesday, March 5, 1997 
 Date Due:  Friday, March 7, 1997 
Please submit solutions to the following on Friday, March 7.
 
-  
Please begin reading Chapter 4 in the text.
  
- 
Please find the Z transform and the region of convergence for the
following sequences.  Use the definition of the Z transform (not the
table).  Also sketch each time sequence.
-  x(n) = 0 for n < 0 and (0.5)^n for n >= 0.
-  y(n) = -(0.5)^n for n < 0 and 0 for n >= 0.
   
- 
Please explain (prove) why having all transfer function poles
inside the unit circle is sufficient to guarantee that a
linear, time-invariant system is BIBO stable.
  
- 
Please run the 
freqtune.m program, and verify that the fundamental
frequency of the plucked-string simulator agrees with the
analytical formula.
  
-  
Try running the Matlab command freqz 
to plot the frequency response of the other digital filters
that we discussed in class
(MA, AR, notch, etc.).
- 
Continue working on a real-time implementation of the plucked-string
filter before lab on Friday.  Please have a Simulink version of
the filter implemented by Friday.
Thank you.
