In digital signal processing, what is the process of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal called?

  1. Sampling

  2. Quantization

  3. Encoding

  4. Reconstruction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sampling is the process of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal by taking measurements at regular intervals.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of transform used in digital signal processing?

  1. Fourier Transform

  2. Laplace Transform

  3. Z-Transform

  4. Walsh-Hadamard Transform


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Laplace Transform is commonly used in analog signal processing, while the Fourier Transform, Z-Transform, and Walsh-Hadamard Transform are widely used in digital signal processing.

What is the purpose of a digital filter in signal processing?

  1. Noise Reduction

  2. Signal Enhancement

  3. Frequency Selection

  4. All of the Above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Digital filters are used for various purposes, including noise reduction, signal enhancement, and frequency selection.

Which of the following is a common type of digital filter used for low-pass filtering?

  1. Butterworth Filter

  2. Chebyshev Filter

  3. Elliptic Filter

  4. Bessel Filter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Butterworth filters are commonly used for low-pass filtering due to their maximally flat magnitude response in the passband.

What is the Nyquist rate, and why is it important in digital signal processing?

  1. Twice the highest frequency component in a signal

  2. Half the highest frequency component in a signal

  3. Equal to the highest frequency component in a signal

  4. None of the Above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Nyquist rate is twice the highest frequency component in a signal, and it is important to ensure that the sampling rate is at least equal to the Nyquist rate to avoid aliasing.

What is the primary advantage of using digital signal processing over analog signal processing?

  1. Flexibility

  2. Accuracy

  3. Cost-Effectiveness
