Question

If a possible representation of a band pass signal is obtained by expressing xl (t) as \(x_l (t)=a(t)e^{jθ(t})\) then what are the equations of a(t) and θ(t)?

(a) a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_c^2 (t)+u_s^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}\frac{u_s (t)}{u_c (t)}\)

(b) a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_c^2 (t)-u_s^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}\frac{u_s (t)}{u_c (t)}\)

(c) a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_c^2 (t)+u_s^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}\frac{u_c (t)}{u_s (t)}\)

(d) a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_s^2 (t)-u_c^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}⁡\frac{u_s (t)}{u_c (t)}\)

This question was addressed to me in semester exam.

This key question is from The Representation of Bandpass Signals in portion Sampling and Reconstruction of Signals of Digital Signal Processing

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_c^2 (t)+u_s^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}\frac{u_s (t)}{u_c (t)}\)

The best explanation: A third possible representation of a band pass signal is obtained by expressing \(x_l (t)=a(t)e^{jθ(t)}\) where a(t) = \(\sqrt{u_c^2 (t)+u_s^2 (t)}\) and θ(t)=\(tan^{-1}\frac{u_s (t)}{u_c (t)}\).
