Generate a signal with two frequencies x(t)=3 Cos(2Pi f1*t)+2 Cos(2Pi f2*t)sampled at fs=8kHz.
Let
f1=1kHz and f2=f1+'A" and the overall
data length be N=256points.
a) From theory, determine the minimum value of 'A' necessary to distinguish between the two
frequencies.
b) Verify this result experimentally, Using the rectangular window, look at the DFT with several
values of 'A' so that you verify the resolution.
(c) Repeat part (b0 using a hamming window. How did the resolution change?
11. To compare DFT and DCT (in terms of energy compactness)
Example Generate the sequence x[n]=n-64 for n=0, ...127.
(a) Let X[k] = DFT{x[n]}. For various values of l, set to zero "high frequency coefficients" X[64
l]= ....X[64]= ......X[64+L]=0 and take the Inverse DFT. Plot the results.

(b) Let XDCT[k] =DCT(X[n]). For the same values of L, set to zero "high frequency coefficient"
XDCT [127-L] = ....XDCT [127]. Take the
Inverse DCT for each case and compare the reconstruction with the previous case.
