Deriving the Group Delay of an LTI Discrete-Time System

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The group delay of an LTI discrete-time system can be expressed as τ(ω) = Re{j(dH(e^{jω})/dω) / H(e^{jω})}. This equation is derived from the frequency response H(e^{jω}) and involves differentiating H with respect to ω. The discussion highlights a common confusion regarding the interpretation of the real and imaginary parts of the derivative. A peer-assisted solution clarified the validity of the equation for the participants.

Homework Statement



Show that the group delay of an LTI discrete-time system characterized by a frequency response H(e^{j\omega}) can be expressed as

\tau(\omega)= Re\left\{\frac{j\frac{dH(e^{j\omega}}{d\omega}}{H(e^{j\omega}}\right\}.

The Attempt at a Solution



I think I understand the rest of the proof (not shown here) but I don't see why the equation in (2) is valid. First, I had the idea that the first term in the equation in (2) is the real part and the second term in the equation is the imaginary part of the derivative, but it does not really appear to me to be like that.

Found the solution by asking some friend. If someone wants to know it, let me know.
