• Domain of DFT can be integers.

    • Discrete Fourier Series (DFS) = Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)

    • The Discrete Fourier Series (DFS) is the version of the Fourier series used when your signal is periodic and discrete-time (sampled). It expresses a discrete-time periodic signal as a sum of complex exponentials with integer frequency multiples.

    • the DFS maps an N-periodic signal onto an N-periodic sequence of Fourier coefficients.

    • the inverse DFS maps an N-periodic sequence of Fourier coefficients a set onto an N-periodic signal

    • the DFS of an N-periodic signal is mathematically equivalent to DFT of one period

    • M-length signal y[n] with L repetition.

  • Discrete time Fourier transform (DTFT)

    • From the DFT, as N goes to infinity, the frequency (2pi/N) goes to smaller and smaller.

    • Let's substitute (2pi/N)k = omega






    • F(w) is 2pi - periodic

    • To emphasize periodicity, we will write

Examples

  • Existence

  • DTFT Properties

    • Linearity:

    • Time shift:

    • Modulation (dual):

    • Time reversal:

    • Conjugation

  • Some special cases

    • if x[n] is symmetric, the DTFT is symmetric

    • if x[n] is real, the DTFT is Hermitian symmetric

    • if x[n] is real, the magnitude of the DTFT is symmetric.

    • if x[n] is real and symmetric, X(e^{j\omega}) is also real and symmetric.

  • Is Everything summable?

So this will introduce a dirac-delta function.

The direc delta function is summable, So we can use the direc delta function to compute the DTFT.

  • Sinusoidal modulation

  • Embedding finite-length signals

    • periodic extension

    • finite-support extension.
