Fourier Transform
- Definition: Converts a time-domain signal into its frequency-domain representation.
- Decomposes a signal into sinusoids of different frequencies.
- Continuous and applies to analog signals.
- Works on aperiodic signals.
- Provides continuous frequency spectrum.
- Applications: Used in audio processing, image compression, and communication systems.
Discrete-Time Fourier Series (DTFS)
- Definition: Fourier Series applied to periodic discrete-time signals.
- Discrete periodic signals.
- N-point periodicity.
Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT)
- Extends Fourier Transform to discrete-time signals.
- Continuous frequency domain, applied to non-periodic discrete-time signals.
- Used for theoretical analysis in DSP.
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
- Converts a finite sequence of samples into a discrete frequency-domain representation.
- Finite-length sequences.
- Output is a discrete set of frequency components.
Comparison: DTFT vs. DFT
- DTFT: Continuous frequency spectrum, used for theoretical analysis.
- DFT: Discrete frequency spectrum, used for practical applications.
Comparison: Fourier Series vs. Fourier Transform
- Fourier Series: Applies to periodic signals, produces discrete frequency components.
- Fourier Transform: Applies to aperiodic signals, produces continuous frequency spectrum.
Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT)
- Converts the frequency-domain representation back to the time-domain.
Practical Applications of Fourier Analysis
- Signal filtering in audio and communications.
- Data compression (JPEG, MP3).
- Spectrum analysis in radar and wireless communications.
DFT-Discrete Fourier Transform (In detail)
- Defines mathematical relationship between the time-domain and frequency-domain representations of a signal.
- Used to analyze and manipulate signals in the frequency domain.
- Useful for filtering, compression, and other signal processing tasks.
- Example: Using DFT to reduce noise in a speech signal.
Example
- Given sequence: x(n) = {1, -1, 2, -2}
- 4-point DFT: X(k)
- Length of the sequence: L = 4
