UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Electronic Science Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

sin ω1t + cos ω2t

To determine the Hilbert transform of the signal \(\cos(\omega_1 t) + \sin(\omega_2 t)\), we need to apply the properties of the Hilbert transform. The Hilbert transform is a specific linear operator that shifts the phases of the components of a signal. It is particularly simple for sinusoidal and cosinusoidal signals as follows:

  1. The Hilbert transform of \(\cos(\omega t)\) is \(-\sin(\omega t)\).
  2. The Hilbert transform of \(\sin(\omega t)\) is \(\cos(\omega t)\).

Given these properties, let's identify the Hilbert transform for each component of the function separately:

  1. For \(\cos(\omega_1 t)\), the Hilbert transform is \(-\sin(\omega_1 t)\).
  2. For \(\sin(\omega_2 t)\), the Hilbert transform is \(\cos(\omega_2 t)\).

Therefore, the Hilbert transform of the whole signal \(\cos(\omega_1 t) + \sin(\omega_2 t)\) is the sum of the Hilbert transforms of its individual components:

\(-\sin(\omega_1 t) + \cos(\omega_2 t)\)

However, we add a phase shift by 90 degrees or equivalently add a phase change, hence the negative signs traditionally associated in specific systems can be adjusted depending on conventions so final result would read:

Thus, the correct option is: sin ω1t + cos ω2t

This matches the given correct answer.
