Exercise 3.2Z: Bessel Spectrum
From LNTwww
Consider the complex signal
- x(t)=ej⋅η⋅sin(ω0⋅t).
For example, the equivalent low-pass signal at the output of an angle modulator (PM, FM) can be represented in this form if appropriate normalizations are made.
- When T0=2π/ω0, the Fourier series representation is:
- x(t)=+∞∑n=−∞Dn⋅ej⋅n⋅ω0⋅t,
- Dn=1T0⋅∫+T0/2−T0/2x(t)⋅e−j⋅n⋅ω0⋅tdt.
- These complex Fourier coefficients can be expressed using n–th order Bessel functions of the first kind:
- Jn(η)=12π⋅∫+π−πej⋅(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)dα.
- These are shown on the graph in the range 0≤η≤5 . For negative values of n one obtains:
- J−n(η)=(−1)n⋅Jn(η).
- The series representation of the Bessel functions is:
- Jn(η)=∞∑k=0(−1)k⋅(η/2)n+2⋅kk!⋅(n+k)!.
- If the function values for n=0 and n=1 are known, the Bessel functions for n≥2 can be determined from them by iteration:
- Jn(η)=2⋅(n−1)η⋅Jn−1(η)−Jn−2(η).
Hints:
- This exercise belongs to the chapter Phase Modulation.
- Particular reference is made to the page Equivalent low-pass signal in phase modulation.
- The values of the Bessel functions can be found in collections of formulae in table form.
- You can also use the interactive applet Bessel functions of the first kind to solve this task.
Questions
Solution
(1) Only the second answer is correct:
- x(t) is a complex signal that only becomes real in exceptional cases, for example at time t=0.
- A purely imaginary value (at certain times) can only result when η≥π/2 ⇒ Answer 1 is incorrect.
- For example, when T0=2π/ω0 :
- x(t+k⋅T0)=ej⋅η⋅sin(ω0⋅(t+k⋅T0))=ej⋅η⋅sin(ω0⋅t+k⋅2π)=ej⋅η⋅sin(ω0⋅t)=x(t).
- This signal is periodic. The Fourier series, not the Fourier integral, must be used to calculate the spectral function.
(2) The Fourier coefficients are:
- Dn=1T0⋅∫+T0/2−T0/2ej⋅η⋅sin(ω0⋅t)⋅e−j⋅n⋅ω0⋅tdt.
- Combining the two terms and after substituting α=ω0·t , we get:
- Dn=12π⋅∫+π−πej⋅(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)dα=Jn(η).
- Thus, the second answer is correct.
(3) Using Euler's theorem, the Fourier coefficients can be represented as follows:
- Dn=12π⋅∫+π−πcos(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)dα+j2π⋅∫+π−πsin(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)dα.
- The integrand of the first integral is an even function of α:
- I1(−α)=cos(η⋅sin(−α)+n⋅α)=cos(−η⋅sin(α)+n⋅α)=cos(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)=I1(α).
- In contrast, the second integrand is an odd function:
- I2(−α)=sin(η⋅sin(−α)+n⋅α)=sin(−η⋅sin(α)+n⋅α)=−sin(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)=−I2(α).
- Thus, the second integral vanishes and, taking symmetry into account, we obtain:
- Dn=1π⋅∫π0cos(η⋅sin(α)−n⋅α)dα.
- Thus, the correct solution is Answer 1.
(4) According to the formula for iterative calculation, when η=2:
- D2=D1−D0=0.577−0.224=0.353_,
- D3=2⋅D2−D1=2⋅0.353−0.577=0.129_.
(5) Due to the given symmetry relation, it further holds that:
- D_{–2} = D_2\hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= 0.353} \hspace{0.05cm},
- D_{–3} = -D_3 \hspace{0.15cm}\underline {= -0.129} \hspace{0.05cm}.
