a. Determine the PSD and the ACF of the signal y (n) .
b. Determine the CCF: rx y ( ) and the CPSD: G x y ( ) between the input and the
output signals.
Q.2
A wide-sense stationary (WSS) process with PSD given by
Gx x () 1 /(1.64 1.6 cos) is applied to a causal system described by the following
difference equation:
y (n) 0.6 y (n 1) x (n) 1.25 x (n 1) .
Compute the PSD at the output and the CPSD between input and output.
Q.3
A second-order AR process y (n) is observed in noise v (n) to obtain x (n) . That is:
x ( n) y ( n) v ( n)
v (n) is white Gaussian noise with zero mean and variance v and v (n) is
2
uncorrelated with y (n) .
The latter is given by the following difference equation:
y (n) 1.27 y (n 1) 0.81 y (n 2) w(n)
w (n) is white Gaussian noise with zero mean and unit variance.
Determine and plot the PSD G x x ( ) .
Q.4
Let x (n) be a random process whose ACF is estimated as:
rx x (0) 1 , rx x (1) 0.7 , rx x ( 2) 0.5 , rx x (3) 0.3 , rx x (4) 0 . Perform parametric
spectral estimation to find the PSD of the process.
Q.5

x (n) 0.5 w (n) 0.5 w (n 1) ,where w (n) is white Gaussian noise with zero mean
and unit variance, is input the AR filter below to obtain y (n) ,
