This set of MATLAB Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Fourier Analysis and Filtering – 1”.
1. Butterworth and Low pass filters use _________
a) IIR and FIR Design
b) FIR and IIR Design
c) FIR Design
d) IIR Design
View Answer
Explanation: Butterworth filters are made using the IIR Filter Design technique while Low Pass Filters are made using the FIR Design technique. Now, Butterworth low pass filters can be made using the IIR Design Technique. But the kind of low pass filters.
2. The result of the following code is
p=dtft([1,2,3],3)
a) Returns a 3-point D.T.F.T.
b) Returns a N-point D.T.F.T.
c) Returns a 3-point D.F.T.
d) Error
View Answer
Explanation: There is no function called dtft. The command is fft which uses the fast Fourier Transform Algorithm and get the 3 point D.F.T. of the above matrix.
3. The above command will give
A=fft((1,2,3),2)
a) D,F,T after taking a truncated input
b) Yield a 2-point D.F.T.
c) Uses the Butterfly algorithm
d) Error
View Answer
Explanation: The process of the fft() command includes the operations mentioned. The syntax, in this case, is wrong since the input vector is given in parentheses. The input vector has to be placed within [].
4. The fir1 command can be used to find _____________
a) High Pass Filters using IIR method
b) Low Pass Filters FIR method
c) Filters using Window Method
d) FIR filters using Window Method
View Answer
Explanation: The fir1() command is a pre-defined command in MATLAB and it uses the Hamming Window method to obtain the Response of any FIR filter. Low Pass Filters FIR method would’ve been correct but FIR filters using Window Method is a more generalized answer.
5. The multiplication of two signal in time domain signifies _______
a) Convolution in time domain
b) Convolution in frequency (jw) domain
c) Multiplication in frequency (jw) domain
d) Nothing
View Answer
Explanation: The fourier transform can be used to find the multiplication of two signals in time domain. The convolution of two signals in frequency domain is same as the multiplication of two signals in time domain.
6. The window function is used to __________
a) multiply it with the incoming signal
b) add it with the incoming signal
c) subtract it from the incoming signal
d) divide the incoming signal
View Answer
Explanation: The rectangular window function is multiplied with the incoming signal so that the unrequired components can be filtered out from the signal. This is the basic principle of filtering.
7. The output of the following codes are
i fft([1,2],2,2) ii. fft([1,2],2)
a) same
b) different
c) I will give error
d) ii wil give error
View Answer
Explanation: The result of i is a 2 point DFT of the input vector but it treats the input vector as a matrix and returns the DFT of the elements of the matrix row-wise. Hence, there is only one row which is the vector itself. Hence, the results of both codes will be same.
8. The butter() command takes in ________
a) Stopband attenuation
b) Order of the filter
c) Ripple frequency
d) Nothing
View Answer
Explanation: The butter command is used to generate the filter co-efficient of a Butterworth filter. This is done by giving the order of the filter and the cut-off frequency as input to the butter filter. The ripple frequency and the stopband attenuation is given to the buttord() function.
9. The blackmann(N) command returns a ___________
a) N-point periodic blackmann window
b) N+1-point periodic blackmann window
c) N+1-point periodic blackmann window
d) N-point symmetric blackmann window
View Answer
Explanation: Unless mentioned, the default type of blackmann window generated by the blackmann() command is a symmetric one. It is an N-point symmetric blackmann window and hence the rest of the options are incorrect.
10. The result of the following command is
hamming[32]
a) Error
b) A 32 point symmetric Hamming Window
c) A 33 point periodic Hamming Window
d) A 33 point Hamming Window
View Answer
Explanation: There is syntactical error in this code. The input to the hamming command has to be within a pair of parentheses. Hence, the above code will give an error.
11. fft2 returns _________
a) a 2-d matrix
b) a 2-d D.F.T
c) a vector
d) No such command
View Answer
Explanation: fft2 will return a 2-D D.F.T. of the vector given as an input to the command. It won’t give a 2-d matrix but a vector only.
12. What is the function of the unwarp command?
a) Generate smoother phase plots
b) Generate smoother gain plots
c) Generate smoother root locus
d) No such command
View Answer
Explanation: The functioning of the unwrap command is based on the tolerance limit, ‘pi’, which is used to multiply the input vector with 2*pi so that it can return values for a smoother phase plot. Hence, Generate smoother phase plots is correct.
13. The default tolerance of the unwarp() function is ________
a) pi
b) 2*pi
c) pi/2
d) 0
View Answer
Explanation: The default tolerance value for which the unwarp function changes the elements of the input vector is pi. It can be changed by mentioning the tolerance value separately in the command.
14. The hamming command returns a ___________
a) matrix
b) row vector
c) column vector
d) no such command
View Answer
Explanation: The hamming code returns the L point hamming window as a column vector. Hence, column vector is correct.
15. What is the value of N while creating a 27 point Hamming window?
a) 28
b) 26
c) 14
d) 13
View Answer
Explanation: An L-point window is created with L=N+1. Hence, for a 27 point window, the value of N is 26. The rest of the options are incorrect.
