(b)
A satellite receiver consists a linear time invariant system which uses a time
delay T shown in Figure 3 with the purpose of suppressing external interference
signals. This receiver is being used near a gold mine which has machineries
generating unwanted interference signals with frequencies of 1 MHz and 2
MHz.
The time delay can be constructed from 3 possible different materials
i) Ceramic, T = 0.8 µs ii) Mica, T= 0.16 µs iii) Carbon T = 0.12 µs
Evaluate and propose the most suitable choice of the 3 given materials for use in
the receiver such that it is able to suppress the interference signals?
