Homework Statement
Let's suppose a set of numerical values {an} sent with a rectangular function, period T and with amplitude an.
The signal can be expressed as follows:
[tex]x(t)= \sum a_n \Pi_T (t-nT)[/tex]
To optimize detection at reception, the signal x(t) is processed through a filter whose impulse response is:
[tex]h(t)= sin(\frac{\pi t}{T} \Pi_T (t-\frac{T}{2})[/tex]
We write y(t) the output signal
1/ If we only have a0=A, calculate y(t) and illustrate the computed elements graphically.
2/ Express y(t) in the general case. Plot x(t) and y(t) if the values to be transmitted are ...,0,0,0,3,5,-2,1,-3,0,0,0,... What are the optimal moments to detect {an} from y(t) ?
3/ Express h(t) as a convolution:
[tex]h(t)=h_0(t)*\delta(t-\frac{T}{2})[/tex]
Determine h0(t), calculate H0(f) and give a graphical representation. What are the modulus and phase of the transfer function H(f) ?
4/ Let’s suppose the {an} are obtained after an audio signal sampling at Fe=1/T, we have an = s(nT). Give the spectrum of x(t), X(f) with a graphical representation. Express the mean value of x(t) with respect to the one of s(t), Ps. Is the filtering of x(t) by h(t) a good way to get back s(t) from x(t)? Why?

The Attempt at a Solution
Well, this is not exactly for me but for one of my students who’s having a hard time. Except he’s my student in electronics laboratories not in signal processing and since he begged me to help him, here i am getting back in signal processing. :(
My ideas:
h(t) is the multiplication of a sine with a rectangular function translated by T/2 so I can have their common area, plot it and do my convolution graphically. But I can’t carefully write the mathematical operation.
By writing the convolution :
[tex]y(t)=\int sin(\frac{\pi \tau}{T}) \Pi_T (\tau-\frac{T}{2}) A \Pi_T (t - \tau) d\tau[/tex]
But this doesn’t seem easy to compute. I thought of coming through it with a Fourier transform to get two sinc with the rectangular functions and a dirac with the sine. But I’m not sure about the carefullness of my operation.
Actually once I understand this question and the math behind it, I may be able to go on by myself. The second question is a generalization of the first and the optimal detection instants are trivial.
For the third question the dirac makes me think of a T/2 delay so h(0) would be for me the product of a sine and something doing the rectangular function but I’m not sure. Again, once started I should be able to go on by myself.
I hope this thread doesn’t seem too improper with respect to the policy here, but I’m starting to see my student’s face decomposed.
