Did you know?
Did you know that when an analog input signal is sampled with a certain frequency, we can obtain individual samples of the signal at specific time points? In this case, the analog input signal x(t) = 1.5 + 0.5sin(100t) is sampled with a frequency of 2 kHz (2,000 samples per second).
To compute the value of the sample x[20], we start sampling at t = 0, and each sample is taken every 1/fs seconds. Given that fs = 2 kHz, each sample is taken every 1/2,000 seconds or 0.0005 seconds.
So, to find the value of x[20], we substitute t = 20 * 0.0005 seconds into the expression for x(t):
x(20 * 0.0005) = 1.5 + 0.5sin(100 * 20 * 0.0005)
= 1.5 + 0.5sin(0.1)
= 1.5 + 0.5 * 0.0998
= 1.5 + 0.0499
= 1.5499
Therefore, the value of the sample x[20] is approximately 1.5499.
