# Basic filtering techniques in signal processing



Consider the following low-pass filter:

$$y(t) = \frac{1}{2}x(t) + \frac{1}{2}y(t-1)$$

This filter passes signals with frequencies below half the sampling rate and attenuates signals with frequencies above half the sampling rate.

## Exercise
Design a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 10 Hz and a sampling rate of 100 Hz.

In addition to low-pass and high-pass filters, other types of filters can be used to isolate specific frequency components. These include band-pass filters, which pass signals within a certain frequency range and attenuate signals outside that range, and band-stop filters, which attenuate signals within a certain frequency range and pass signals outside that range.

A band-pass filter can be designed using the following transfer function:

$$H(s) = \frac{s}{s^2 + \frac{1}{Q}s + \omega_0^2}$$

This filter passes signals with frequencies within the range $\omega_0 \pm \frac{1}{2Q}$ and attenuates signals outside that range.

## Exercise
Design a band-pass filter with a center frequency of 50 Hz, a bandwidth of 10 Hz, and a sampling rate of 100 Hz.

# The Fourier transform and its properties



The Fourier transform of a signal can be calculated using the following formula:

$$X(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(t) e^{-j\omega t} dt$$

This formula relates the frequency components of a signal to its time-domain representation.

## Exercise
Calculate the Fourier transform of the following signal:

$$x(t) = \sin(2\pi f_0 t)$$

The Fourier transform has several important properties that make it useful in signal processing. First, the Fourier transform is linear, meaning that the transform of a sum of signals is the sum of their transforms. Second, the Fourier transform is time-invariant, meaning that the transform of a signal remains the same regardless of when it is sampled. Finally, the Fourier transform is shift-invariant, meaning that the transform of a shifted signal is the same as the transform of the original signal.

Consider the following shifted signal:

$$x(t) = \sin(2\pi f_0 (t - \tau))$$

Its Fourier transform is the same as that of the original signal, regardless of the value of $\tau$.

## Exercise
Calculate the Fourier transform of the shifted signal:

$$x(t) = \sin(2\pi f_0 (t - \tau))$$

# Analyzing signals in the frequency domain



The spectral power distribution of a signal can be calculated using the following formula:

$$P(\omega) = \frac{|X(\omega)|^2}{2}$$

This formula relates the power of a signal's frequency components to their amplitude.

## Exercise

$$X(\omega) = \delta(\omega - \omega_0)$$

Spectral density is another useful technique for analyzing signals in the frequency domain. It relates the power of a signal's frequency components to the bandwidth of the signal.

The spectral density of a signal can be calculated using the following formula:

$$D(\omega) = \frac{P(\omega)}{B}$$

This formula relates the spectral density to the power and bandwidth of the signal.

## Exercise
