Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If you have four systems connected in parallel processing the same signal, derive the expression for the overall output mathematically and discuss its implications.

💡 Hint: Consider how adding more systems affects the output.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider two parallel filters applied to an audio signal. Explain how changing the output characteristics of one filter affects the combined output, and provide a mathematical model for this scenario.

💡 Hint: What happens if one filter enhances bass but the other cuts it? Think about the resulting audio characteristics.
