.4 In acomplex system, this has a number of implications regarding the iterative development ofmultiple models. In particular, for a target model A and a peripheral model B, changes in modelB can effect model A without the mathematical or descriptive form of model A being adjusted.This is due to the change in focus of the user’s attention. When new features or relationshipsbecome apparent, different aspects of the applicability of model A may become apparent.In the next stage of modeling, evaluation, any number of influences cause a user to considerchanging the target model. Interactions with the target system (use of the model or otherinteraction) or other representations can prompt the evaluation process.32,33

A 15-kHz square wave was sampled both with and without the anti-aliasing low-pass filter simulation found in the LPFTPL program. An aliasing frequency of 5kHz was anticipated in the signal that was processed without the filter.

You will accomplish this goal by:1. Demonstrating and effectively applying the following during the appropriate phase of analysis a. formulate a problem and develop a clear statement of needs • goals, objective trees, indices of performance • functional requirements and design specifications based upon system trades b. identify solutions to a problem • creativity and innovation, brainstorming, researching existing/near solutions to the same/similar problems
