Maya Calendar
During his last sabbatical, professor M. A. ya made a surprising discovery about the old Maya calendar. From an old knotted message, professor discovered that the Maya civilization used a 365 day long year, called Haab, which had 19 months. Each of the first 18 months was 20 days long, and the names of the months were pop, no, zip, zotz, tzec, xul, yoxkin, mol, chen, yax, zac, ceh, mac, kankin, muan, pax, koyab, cumhu. Instead of having names, the days of the months were denoted by numbers starting from 0 to 19. The last month of Haab was called uayet and had 5 days denoted by numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. The Maya believed that this month was unlucky, the court of justice was not in session, the trade stopped, people did not even sweep the floor.
P3.20. Consider an analog signal xa (t) = sin (2πt), 0 ≤t≤ 1. It is sampled at Ts = 0.01, 0.05,
and 0.1 sec intervals to obtain x(n).
b) Reconstruct the analog signal ya (t) from the samples x(n) using the sinc interpolation
(use ∆ t = 0.001) and determine the frequency in ya (t) from your plot. (Ignore the end
effects.)
C) Reconstruct the analog signal ya (t) from the samples x (n) using the cubic spline
interpolation and determine the frequency in ya (t) from your plot. (Ignore the end effects.)
