SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on matching Z-transforms to continuous-time signals, specifically uct(t) = sin(2πt) and vct(t) = e^(-t)sin(2πt). The user identifies that both equations 2 and 3 have a damping factor of d=1, indicating they are undamped systems. The user successfully determines the correct plot by analyzing the samples per period and solving the roots in the denominator of the Z-transform equations. The final solution confirms the correct association of the plots with the Z-transforms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Z-transforms and their applications in signal processing.
  • Familiarity with continuous-time signals and their sampling.
  • Knowledge of sinusoidal functions and their properties.
  • Ability to solve polynomial equations related to Z-transforms.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of Z-transforms in detail, focusing on undamped systems.
  • Learn how to derive Z-transforms for various continuous-time signals.
  • Explore the relationship between sampling rates and signal representation.
  • Practice solving polynomial equations to find roots related to Z-transforms.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, signal processing, and control systems who are working with Z-transforms and need to understand the relationship between continuous-time signals and their discrete representations.

Homework Statement


In Figure Q1b (on the next page), two plots display samples of the continuous-time signal uct(t) = sin(2πt) and two plots display samples of the continuous-time signal vct(t) = e −t sin(2πt). For each signal, the samples in the corresponding plots are obtained with two different sampling times. Associate each of the four plots with the corresponding Z transform in the list and justify your answer:

The Attempt at a Solution


Ok so using considering the generic denominator of the Z transform of a sinusoid:

z2+2cdz+d2

I can see that both equations 2 and 3 have a value of d=1 hence they are both undamped systems, so they are either one of (b) or (c)

Then from the generic denominator equation:

for (2) c=-2cos(ωT) =1.9842
= cos(ωT) = -0.9921

For (3) c=-2cos(ωT) =-1.9646
= cos(ωT) = 0.9823

Its at this point I am stuck on what I need to do and how to see which one of b and c is the correct plot?

Thanks for any tips!

In (b) you can count the samples per periode ( about 33.2 samples ). As one period is 360°, (b) matches a polepair = 1 / ±10.84°.

Now solve the roots in denominator in 2) and 3). See if there is a match.
 
Sorry for the late response, my revision swapped to a different module. That's great thank you managed to solve it for the correct answer using that
