Important Notes
There are problems for which pen and paper solutions have to be submitted for grading.
Preceding the solutions, you must include the following information:
• Your name
• Student ID
• Course ID
• Homework number
• Date and time submitted
Solution should be elaborative, sketch neat circuits wherever required, show clearly all steps of
calculation & mention reference (for example formula, law, rule) to strengthen your
understanding to solve the electric circuit problems.
Also, please comply with Academic Integrity Policies of Habib University related to plagiarism
while submitting this assignment for grading.
Late Submission Policy
You need to submit your solution by the due date. Every day the assignment is late, 10% will be
reduced from the total score. Assignment will not be graded after fifth day of submission
deadline.

EE/CE 453/352 Digital Signal Processing: Spring 2024
Question 1 [50 points]: This is an open-ended group assignment (groups of 2 to 3) to
design standard notch filters designed to allow frequency 𝜔𝑜 = 𝜋⁄𝐴, where A is assigned to
you in the groups on LMS.
The specifications are as follows:
1. The bandwidth ∆𝜔 of the notch filter should be at most 𝐴/100. The bandwidth is the
range of frequencies over which the filter's gain is within 3 dB (or 70.7%) of its
maximum gain, in radians, around the null frequency.
2. The passband ripple may be 𝐴/200 at most and stop band ripple be 𝐴/100.
Also note the following additional instructions:
1. As this is an open-ended assignment, you are free to use any and all resources
available to you online or offline, especially MATLAB. But your submission will
require references and AI prompts for any information which isn’t your own.
2. Be as accurate as possible to the required specifications (discuss
3. Share all relevant diagrams (including magnitude, phase and z- transform plots) in
your submission.
4. You may be asked to justify your design with a viva.
5. It should not take you more than 8 hours to complete this assignment as a group.
6. 5 points are reserved for uniqueness (in other words, all submissions should not
look the same) and the quality of your work (analysis, design, citations etc.).
Part (a) [10 pts]: Design an IIR filter using pole-zero placement in the z-domain, complete
with difference equation and implementation.
Part (b) [10 pts]: Design an IIR filter using bilinear transformation or any other
approximation method of your choice, complete with difference equation and
implementation.
Part (c) [10 pts]: Design a FIR filter with linear phase, complete with difference equation
and implementation.
Part (d) [10 pts]: Design a FIR filter using a windowing function of your choice to truncate
the time domain function of an ideal filter, complete with difference equation and
implementation.
Part (e) [05 pts]: Draw a comparison between each of these implementations in terms of
possible end-user requirements.
