Exercise 18 (b).   Construct a filter using the poles      for boosting up signals near    and  .

Solution 18 (b).

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

Answer.   Compute the quotient  

                    .  

The desired filter is  

                    .  

Solution.   Use the conjugate pair of poles      and   ,  

and the "boost up factors"      and   .  

Then calculate  

                    

Extending the Boosting Up Filter one more term we see that the transfer function

                    

will correspond to the filter

                    .  

        For this exercise, we use      and      in these equations to get the desired recursive formula  

                    .  

Therefore, the desired filter for part (b) is

                    .  

We are done.   

Aside.  We can let Mathematica double check our work.

Aside.  The Maple commands are similar  

  

                                                              


  

                                                              

We are really done.   

Aside.  We can graph the amplitude response for the filter   .

                    Amplitude response   ,   

                    and zero-pole plot of   ,  

                    for the filter   .

                    We can see that a few of the mid-range frequencies are slightly amplified.

We are really really done.   

Aside.  For illustration, we can graph the causal input sequence   ,  

and the corresponding causal output sequence   .  

The signal component    will be amplified  by the factor  ,  and  

The signal component    will be attenuated by the factor  .  

                    The causal input sequence      and the corresponding causal output sequence.

                    Here we have     and   
                    
                    This filter reduces the proportion of the signal component      by a factor of   .
