Question
The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of the 4-point sequence is . If is the DFT of the 12-point sequence , the value of is ________
Correct answer
5.9 to 6.1
Solution
The sequence is obtained by upsampling the 4-point sequence by a factor of . For an -point sequence upsampled by to form an point sequence , the DFT is related to the original DFT by the property:Since for and otherwise:Here, and . Thus, for .
