Answer any FIVE questions

All questions carry equal marks
---

1.a) Define expectation in case of discrete random processes and hence

explain clearly the importance of variance and covariance in
respect of two processes x(u) and y(u)
b) Define Parseval’s theorem w.r.t discrete random processes and
hence obtain the wiener khintchine relation.

2.a) Define energy density spectrum and power density spectrum of

random sequences and clearly distinguish between them with
examples.
b) Define a discrete linear system and obtain relation between input
and output of the system. Hence discuss clearly the lowpass
filtering of whitenoise.

3.a) Explain the correlation method of power spectrum estimation and

periodogram estimator and compare them.
b) Explain clearly the procedure for power spectrum using Barlett
estimator and bring out the merits and demerits of it over
periodogram technique.

4.a) Discuss clearly the power spectral analysis using model-based

approach and bringout the basic concept of this method.
b) Discuss clearly the parameter estimation for AR model using Yule-
walker-method.

5.a) Explain clearly the linear estimation of signals and discuss the
three applications of it in brief.
b) Define various criteria used in linear estimation and hence define
the efficiency of the estimator in each case.

6.a) Explain the principle of wiener filter and discuss clearly the
estimation procedure in wiener filters.
b) Obtain normal equation and derive the optimum solution for
wiener coefficients in terms of input sequence.

7.a) What are the disadvantages of wiener filter and explain how these
can be overcome in Kalman filter.
b) Discuss clearly the concept of whitening filter and inverse filter and
obtain the relation between them.

8.a) Explain the principle of Newton’s steepest descent method for

adaptive estimation.
b) Discuss the principle of Adaptive echo-canceller:
