Question 2 -

X_p = (V_s²/P)/(tan(cos^-1pf_new)-tan(cos^-1pf_old))

where P is the average AC power and pf_old and pf_new are, respectively, the values of the power factor before and after the connection of reactance in parallel and V_s is the source voltage (rms).

(ii) An industrial plant is powered from a 220-V (rms), 60-Hz source, and it consumes 50 kW with pf = 0.75, lagging. Using  the  equation  derived  in  part (i) above, find a suitable parallel capacitor  to  ensure  pf  =  0.95,  lagging. What current must this capacitor be able to withstand?

d²y/dt² + 5(dy(t)/dt) + 6y(t) = 2(dx(t)/dt) - x(t)

Question 5 -

(a) Using the Fourier transform pair given below and the Fourier transform properties, determine the frequency domain  representation Y(ω) for the signal y(t) shown in Figure 10 and show that Y(ω) = 2j/ω[cos(ω) - sin(ω)/ω].

 (b) Is it possible to evaluate the Fourier transform of the Fourier transform of a real valued signal i.e., if F{·} denotes the Fourier transform operation and x(t) is a real valued signal, is it possible to evaluate F{F{x(t)}}? If not, explain why not and if so, what is F{F{x(t)}} in terms of x(t)?

(c) Assume that radio stations (AM stations) work by multiplying the audio signal (speech or music) to be transmitted, s(t), with a carrier signal of appropriate frequency, c(t), and then transmitting the output, x(t) as seen in Figure 11. You may also assume that the audio signal has frequency components between 0Hz and 20kHz.

A radio receiver could then work as given by the block diagram in Figure 12. A   good radio system will produce a recovered audio signal, r(t), that is very similar to the original audio signal, s(t).

Assume the system H₁ has an impulse response, h₁(t), given  by: h₁(t) = cos(2πf_ht)e^{-at^2}

where, f_h = 100kHz. Also, assume that the system H₂ is a low pass filter with a 3dB cut-off frequency of 20kHz.

If 2 radio stations are operating, one using a carrier frequency, f_c, of 702kHz, and the other using 1363kHz; and if you want to pick up the first radio station (f_c = 702kHz), answer the following:

(i) What value of f₁ will you use?

(ii) The system H₁ is used to isolate the desired radio signal and eliminate the undesired signals. What value of a will you choose in order to suppress the undesired signals as much as possible while not attenuating any component of the desired signal by more than 3dB?

(iii) What value of f₂ will you choose?

(iv) If you use an RC circuit, Figure 13, as H₂, what values of R and C will you choose such that the 3dB bandwidth of the low pass filter is 20kHz?
