Digital Signal Processing Questions and Answers – IIR Filter Design by the Bilinear Transformation

This set of tricky Digital Signal Processing Questions & Answers focuses on “IIR Filter Design by the Bilinear Transformation”.

1. In IIR Filter design by the Bilinear Transformation, the Bilinear Transformation is a mapping from
a) Z-plane to S-plane
b) S-plane to Z-plane
c) S-plane to J-plane
d) J-plane to Z-plane
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: From the equation,
S=\(\frac{2}{T}(\frac{1-z^{-1}}{1+z^{-1}})\) it is clear that transformation occurs from s-plane to z-plane

2. In Bilinear Transformation, aliasing of frequency components is been avoided.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The bilinear transformation is a conformal mapping that transforms the jΩ-axis into the unit circle in the z-plane only once, thus avoiding the aliasing.

3. Is IIR Filter design by Bilinear Transformation is the advanced technique when compared to other design techniques?
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Because in other techniques, only lowpass filters and limited class of bandpass filters are been supported. But this technique overcomes the limitations of other techniques and supports more.

4. The approximation of the integral in y(t) = \(\int_{t_0}^t y'(τ)dt+y(t_0)\) by the Trapezoidal formula at t = nT and t0=nT-T yields equation?
a) y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (T-nT)]+y(nT-T)\)
b) y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (nT-T)]+y(nT-T)\)
c) y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (T-nT)]+y(T-nT)\)
d) y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (nT-T)]+y(T-nT)\)
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: By integrating the equation,
y(t) = \(\int_{t_0}^t y^{‘} (τ)dt+y(t_0)\) at t=nT and t0=nT-T we get equation,
y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (nT-T)]+y(nT-T)\).

5. We use y{‘}(nT)=-ay(nT)+bx(nT) to substitute for the derivative in y(nT) = \(\frac{T}{2} [y^{‘} (nT)+y^{‘} (nT-T)]+y(nT-T)\) and thus obtain a difference equation for the equivalent discrete-time system. With y(n) = y(nT) and x(n) = x(nT), we obtain the result as of the following?
a) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)-(1-\frac{aT}{2})y(n-1)=\frac{bT}{2} [x(n)+x(n-1)]\)
b) \((1+\frac{aT}{n})Y(z)-(1-\frac{aT}{n})y(n-1)=\frac{bT}{n} [x(n)+x(n-1)]\)
c) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)+(1-\frac{aT}{2})y(n-1)=\frac{bT}{2} (x(n)-x(n-1))\)
d) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)+(1-\frac{aT}{2})y(n-1)=\frac{bT}{2} (x(n)+x(n+1))\)

a) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)-(1-\frac{aT}{2}) z^{-1} Y(z)=\frac{bT}{2} (1+z^{-1})X(z)\)
b) \((1+\frac{aT}{n})Y(z)-(1-\frac{aT}{2}) z^{-1} Y(z)=\frac{bT}{n} (1+z^{-1})X(z)\)
c) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)+(1-\frac{aT}{n}) z^{-1} Y(z)=\frac{bT}{2} (1+z^{-1})X(z)\)
d) \((1+\frac{aT}{2})Y(z)-(1+\frac{aT}{2}) z^{-1} Y(z)=\frac{bT}{2} (1+z^{-1})X(z)\)

Answer: a
Explanation: By performing the z-transform of the given equation, we get the required output/equation.

7. What is the system function of the equivalent digital filter? H(z) = Y(z)/X(z) = ?

b) \(\frac{(\frac{bT}{2})(1-z^{-1})}{1+\frac{aT}{2}-(1+\frac{aT}{2}) z^{-1}}\)
c) \(\frac{b}{\frac{2}{T}(\frac{1-z^{-1}}{1+z^{-1}}+a)}\)
d) \(\frac{(\frac{bT}{2})(1-z^{-1})}{1+\frac{aT}{2}-(1+\frac{aT}{2}) z^{-1}}\) & \(\frac{b}{\frac{2}{T}(\frac{1-z^{-1}}{1+z^{-1}}+a)}\)
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: As we considered analog linear filter with system function H(s) = b/s+a
Hence, we got an equivalent system function
where, s = \(\frac{2}{T}(\frac{1-z^{-1}}{1+z^{-1}})\).
