HW 4

Hint: Start with the frequency response expressed in terms of its magnitude and phase.

(1)H(ω)=|H(ω)|ejH(ω)

Now differentiate both sides with respect to ω.

(2)dH(ω)dω=d|H(ω)|dωejH(ω)+jdH(ω)dω|H(ω)|ejH(ω)

Next substitute D(ω)=jdH(ω)dω).

(3)dH(ω)dω=d|H(ω)|dωejH(ω)jD(ω)H(ω)

Multiply and divide the first term on the right-hand side by |H(ω)|.

(4)dH(ω)dω=d|H(ω)|dω|H(ω)|H(ω)jD(ω)H(ω)

Next, divide both sides by H(ω).

(5)dH(ω)dωH(ω)=d|H(ω)|dω|H(ω)|jD(ω)

Now multiply both sides by j.

(6)jdH(ω)dωH(ω)=jd|H(ω)|dω|H(ω)|+D(ω)

Finally observe that the first term on the right-hand side is pure imaginary and the second term on the right hand side is purely real. Therefore, taking the real part of both sides leads to

(7)D(ω)=Re{jdH(ω)dωH(ω)}

Next take the derivative of the DTFT of h[n].

H(ω)=nh[n]ejωn=DTFT{h[n]}dH(ω)dω=jnnh[n]ejωn=jDTFT{nh[n]}

Substituting these into the formula above for D(ω) gives the following.

(8)D(ω)=Re{DTFT{nh[n]}DTFT{h[n]}}

In the case of the difference equation, we can write the frequency response as

(9)H(ω)=B(ω)A(ω)=|B(ω)||A(ω)|ej[B(ω)A(ω)]

We see that H(ω)=B(ω)A(ω). Therefore we can substitute from above to obtain the final answer for this problem.
