Magnitude frequency response and phase function of the two-way channel

As in  Exercise 2.6,  a two-way channel is considered whose impulse response is:

$$h(t) = \delta ( t - T_1) + \delta ( t - T_2).$$

In contrast to the general representation in exercise 2.6, the two attenuation factors are equal here:   $z_1 = z_2 = 1$. For mobile communications, this corresponds for example to an echo at a distance of  $T_2 - T_1$  and of the same strength as the signal on the main path.  For this, the transit time  $T_1$  is assumed.


Using the transit times $T_1 = 0$  and  $T_2 = T = 4 \ \rm ms$  considered in the subtasks  (1) ... (4),  the following is obtained for the frequency response of the two-way channel,  whose magnitude is depicted in the upper graph:

$$H(f) = 1 + {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.04cm}2 \pi f T} = 1 + \cos(2 \pi f T) - {\rm j} \cdot \sin(2 \pi f T)$$
$$\Rightarrow \hspace{0.4cm}|H(f)| = \sqrt{2\left(1 + \cos(2 \pi f T)\right)}= 2 \cdot |\cos(\pi f T)|.$$

The bottom graph shows the phase function for  $T_1 = 0$  and   $T_2 = T = 4 \ \rm ms$:

$$b(f) = - {\rm arc} \hspace{0.1cm}H(f) = \arctan \frac{\sin(2 \pi f T)}{1 + \cos(2 \pi f T)} = \arctan \big[\tan(\pi f T)\big].$$
  • In the frequency region  $|f| < 1/(2T)$,    $b(f)$  increases linearly:   $b(f) = \pi \cdot f \cdot T.$
  • Also in further sections of the phase function,  the phase always increases linearly from  $-\pi/2$  to  $+\pi/2$ .
  • The following trigonometric transformation was used here:
$$ \frac{\sin(2 \alpha)}{1 + \cos(2 \alpha)} = \tan(\alpha).$$


In the questions,  $y_i(t)$  denotes the signal at the output of the two-way channel if the signal  $x_i(t)$  is applied to the input  $(i = 1, 2, 3, 4)$.

These signals are examined as input signals:

  • a rectangular pulse  $x_1(t)$  with height  $1$  between  $t= 0$  and  $t= T$;  $x_1(t) = 0$  holds for  $t < 0$  and  $t > T$  $($the value $0.5$ occurs at the two jump discontinuities$)$;
  • a rectangular pulse  $x_2(t)$  with height  $1$  in the range of  $0 \ \text{...} \ 2T$;
  • a periodic rectangular signal  $x_3(t)$  with period duration  $T = T_0$:
$$x_3(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \right.\quad \quad \begin{array}{c} {\rm{for}} \\ {\rm{for}} \\ \end{array}\begin{array}{*{20}c} { 0 < t < T/2,} \\ { T/2 < t < T,} \\ \end{array}$$
  • a periodic rectangular signal  $x_4(t)$  with period duration  $T = 2T_0$:
$$x_4(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \right.\quad \quad \begin{array}{c} {\rm{for}} \\ {\rm{for}} \\ \end{array}\begin{array}{*{20}c} { 0 < t < T,} \\ { T < t < 2T.} \\ \end{array}$$



Please note:

  • The exercise belongs to the chapter  Linear Distortions.
  • For subtasks  (1) to (4),  $T_1 = 0$  and  $T_2 = T = 4 \ \rm ms$  hold.
  • In subtask  (5),  the case  $T_1 = 1 \ \rm ms$  and  $T_2 = 5 \ \rm ms$  is considered.

Compute the signal  $y_3(t)$.  Check which statements are true.

$y_3(t)$  is undistorted with respect to  $x_3(t)$.
$y_3(t)$  exhibits attenuation distortions with respect to  $x_3(t)$.
$y_3(t)$  exhibits phase distortions with respect to  $x_3(t)$.

Which statements are true for the output signal  $y_4(t)$?

$y_4(t)$  is undistorted with respect to  $x_4(t)$.
$y_4(t)$  exhibits attenuation distortions with respect to  $x_4(t)$.
$y_4(t)$  exhibits phase distortions with respect to  $x_4(t)$.

Now  $T_1 = 1 \ \rm ms$  and  $T_2 = 5 \ \rm ms$ hold.  What are the changes compared to the previous results?

The above statements regarding distortions are still valid.
Well-founded statements are only possible after a revaluation.
The combination  $T_1 = 1 \ \rm ms$  and  $T_2 = 5 \ \rm ms$  results in distortions for all signals.


Solution

(1)  The solution in the time domain leads faster to the final result:

$$y_1(t) = x_1(t) \star h(t) = x_1(t) \star \delta (t) + x_1(t) \star \delta (t - T) = x_1(t) + x_1(t-T).$$
  • Thus,  $y_1(t)$  is a rectangular pulse of height  $1$  and width  $2T$.
  • The same result – but in a more time-consuming way – is obtained by computing in the frequency domain:
$$Y_1(f) = X_1(f) \cdot H(f) = T \cdot \frac {\sin(\pi f T)}{\pi f T}\cdot {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm} \pi f T} \cdot \big[ 1 + {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} \big].$$
  • The complex exponential functions can be converted using the  Euler theorem  as follows:
$${\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm} \pi f T} \big[ 1 + {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} \big] = {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} \cdot \big[ {\rm e}^{{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm} \pi f T} + {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm} \pi f T} \big] = {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} \cdot 2 \cos(\pi f T) .$$
  • Hence,  the following can be formulated for the output spectrum:
$$Y_1(f) = Y_{11}(f) \cdot {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} , \; \; {\rm mit } \; \; Y_{11}(f) = 2T \cdot \frac {\sin(\pi f T) \cdot \cos(\pi f T)}{\pi f T} = 2T \cdot \frac {\sin(2\pi f T) }{2\pi f T}.$$
Solutions  (1)  and  (2)

Here,  the relation  $\sin(\alpha) \cdot \cos(\alpha) = \sin(2\alpha)/2$  is used.

  • The inverse Fourier transform of  $Y_{11}$  results in a rectangle of width  $2T$,  that is symmetric about  $t = 0$ .
  • Due to the phase function this is shifted into the range  $0$ ... $2T$  and the result of the time domain computation is confirmed.


Despite the fact that  $y_1(t)$  is rectangular just as  $x_1(t)$,  there are distortions:

  • These are linear because of  $T_y > T_x$.  In the frequency range of interest  $($that is all frequencies for a sinc–shaped spectrum$)$,    $|H(f)|$  is not constant.  So, there are attenuation distortions.
  • In addition, there are also phase distortions since the phase does not increase linearly with  $f$  in the whole range   ⇒   The  proposed solutions 1, 3, 4 and 5  are correct.


(2)  Due to the equation

$$y_2(t) = x_2(t) + x_2(t-T)$$

already specified in  (1)  a step-like curve shape corresponding to the lower diagram of the upper graph is obtained.

The numerical values that are looked for are:   $y_2(t = 0.5 T) \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 1}, \hspace{0.3cm} y_2(t = 1.5 T) \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 2}, \hspace{0.3cm}y_2(t = 2.5 T) \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{ = 1}.$


Solutions  (3)  and  (4)

(3)  The period  $T_0 = T$  of the periodic signal  $x_3(t)$  is exactly as large as the delay on the second path. Therefore,  $y_3(t) = 2 \cdot x_3(t) $  holds and no distortions are observable.

The frequency domain computation leads to the same result.

  • $X_3(f)$  is a line spectrum with components at frequencies  $f = 0$,  $f = \pm f_0 = \pm 1/T$,  $f = \pm 3f_0$,  etc..
  • However,  the following holds at these discrete frequencies:
$$|H(f)| = 2, \hspace{0.3cm} b(f) = 0 \hspace{0.3cm} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.3cm}\tau_{\rm P}(f) = 0.$$
  • From this it follows again that  $y_3(t) = 2 \cdot x_3(t) $.
  • Thus,  only  proposed solution 1  is correct.



(4)  It can be seen that  $y_4(t) = 1$  is distorted with respect to  $x_4(t)$  from the lower sketch of the second graph. These are attenuation distortions  ⇒  Proposed solution 2  is correct as the following consideration shows.

  • Due to  $T_0 = 2T$  the signal  $x_4(t)$  has the basic frequency  $f_0 = 1/(2T)$.
  • The frequency response thus has zeros for all odd multiples of  $f_0$.
  • The only remaining spectral line of  $Y_4(f)$  is at  $f = 0$  where the following holds:
$$Y_4(f) = 2 \cdot 0.5 \cdot \delta (f) = 1 \cdot \delta (f) \hspace{0.5cm}\Rightarrow \hspace{0.5cm} y_4(t) = 1.$$


(5)  Now the frequency response is with  $T_1 = 1 \ \rm ms$,  $T_2 = 5 \ \rm ms$  and  $T = T_2 -T_1 = 4 \ \rm ms$:

$$H(f) = {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T_1}+ {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T_2}= \big[ 1 + {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T} \big]\cdot {\rm e}^{-{\rm j}\hspace{0.05cm} \cdot \hspace{0.05cm}2 \pi f T_1}.$$
  • The expression in parentheses describes the frequency response already considered so far.
  • The second term causes an additional runtime around  $ \tau = T_1$  and the following holds for all signals  $(i = 1, 2, 3, 4)$:
$$y_i^{\rm (5)}(t) = y_i(t-T_1).$$

All statements regarding the distortions are still valid.  This corresponds to  proposed solution 1.
