Deriving the Group Delay of an LTI Discrete-Time System

Click For Summary
The group delay of an LTI discrete-time system can be expressed using the formula τ(ω) = Re{j(dH(e^{jω})/dω)/H(e^{jω})}. A participant in the discussion expresses confusion regarding the validity of this equation, particularly concerning the separation of real and imaginary parts. They initially considered the terms in the equation but found it unclear. Ultimately, they resolved their doubts by consulting a friend. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the derivation of group delay in the context of discrete-time systems.

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.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
