The impulse response of an LTI system can be obtained by

The complex envelope of the bandpass signal $$x(t)\, = \, - \sqrt 2 \left( {{{\sin (\pi t/5)} \over {\pi t/5}}} \right)\sin \left( {\pi t - {\pi \over 4}} \right),$$ centered about f = $${1 \over {2\,}}\,Hz,$$ is

Two sequence $${x_1}\left[ n \right]$$ and $${x_2}\left[ n \right]$$ have the same energy.
Suppose $${x_1}\left[ n \right]$$ $$ = \alpha \,{0.5^n}\,u\left[ n \right],$$ where $$\alpha $$ is a positive real number and $$u\left[ n \right]\,$$ is the unit step sequence. Assume $$${x_2}\left[ n \right] = \,\left\{ {\matrix{ {\sqrt {1.5} } & {for\,\,\,n = 0,1} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$

Then the value of $$\,\alpha $$ is________.

Consider a four-point moving average filter defined by the equation $$y[n] = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^3 {{\alpha _i}x[n - i]} $$. The condition on the filter coefficients that results in a null at zero frequency is
