Question 1: What is the overlap-add method used for in signal processing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It is a method for filtering signals in real-time

It is a method for performing cross-correlation efficiently

It is a method for efficient convolution of long signals

It is a method for performing Fourier transforms

Question 2: In the context of digital signal processing algorithms, what is the role of a Hilbert transform?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To shift the frequency spectrum by a constant amount

To enhance signal resolution

To smooth the signal

To create an analytic signal by producing the imaginary part

Question 3: How does a non-linear filter, such as the median filter, differ from a linear filter in signal processing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It uses weighted averaging based on signal strength

It replaces a value with the median of its neighbors

It reduces noise by averaging all neighboring pixels or values

It uses a moving average for filtering

Question 4: How does the windowing method affect the design of an FIR filter?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reduces computational load

Introduces phase distortion

Controls the frequency response ripple and width

Ensures filter stability

Question 5: In audio source separation, what is the advantage of using independent component analysis (ICA) over traditional filtering?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

ICA requires less data to separate sources

ICA can directly separate mixed audio signals without prior training

ICA produces better separation when sources have similar spectra

ICA does not require prior knowledge of the source signals

Question 6: What is the primary advantage of using the Fourier Transform in image processing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reduces image noise

Enhances spatial resolution

Detects edges in an image

Converts image to frequency domain for filtering
