Max Marks : 120 Day: Wednesday
INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is a descriptive type question with six questions each with 20 marks. You need to answer
on white A4 size paper/papers systematically, clearly and in the same sequence, as
given in the question paper. Answering parts of a question at the different places will
not be evaluated. Make a box around your final answer to make it clearly visible for
correction.
2. At the end of exam, you need to scan same and create a single pdf file with file name as
ID.NO_name (Ex: 2017AAPS0394H_ ASHISH K). Then upload your answer file in the link
provided in google form as well as send the same by email to a mail id created for
exam(sahoobitsexam@gmail.com). A student not submitting answer sheet through google
form may be considered for suitable mark deduction.
3. After evaluation, we will intimate the marks for each question with the marking scheme.
Do keep a copy of your answer with you for any verification/recheck. A student can
start exam between 9.50-10.05AM. But, any answer sheet received after 12.10PM will
be considered as late submission and marks will be deducted suitably.
4. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have uploaded the correct .pdf file with ALL
THE answers you have written for each part. We will not consider any request after
the exam in case you have uploaded the wrong answer file or incomplete answer
sheets.

1. [A] Design a digital IIR low-pass filter with pass band edge at 1000 Hz and stop band edge at
2100 Hz for a sampling frequency of 5000 Hz. The filter is to have pass band ripple of 4 dB
and stop band ripple below 30 dB. Find the transfer function of the Butterworth filter using
bilinear transfer function. Assume the sampling time T=2 for simplicity. The designed filter
should perfectly match the pass band filter specification. [15 M]
