Study Notes
Deriving the Fourier Transform
- The Fourier Transform is derived from a Fourier Series whose period goes to infinity.
- The Fourier Transform is a continuous function, acting like an envelope.
- The ak values are samples of this envelope.
- The sinc signal is like the envelope.
Formulas for the Forward and Inverse Fourier Transform
- The Fourier transform (FT) is used to transform signals from the time domain to the omega domain, and the inverse Fourier transform (IFT) goes in the opposite direction.
- The Fourier Transform applies to both finite-length and infinite-length aperiodic signals, as long as the signal is absolutely integrable.
Continuous and Discrete Signals
- When x(t) is a continuous function, a periodic signal gives a Fourier series with a discrete set of ak.
- When x(t) is a continuous function, an aperiodic signal gives a Fourier transform with a continuous X(ω).
- When x[n] is a discrete signal in DSP, there are digital equivalents to the aforementioned equations.
Frequency Response
- The frequency response is the Fourier transform of the impulse response.
- Impulses only work with LTI systems.
- The frequency response makes it easier to analyze signals by moving from the time domain to the frequency domain.
Convolution Property of the Fourier Transform
- The FT of the convolution of x(t) and h(t) is the product of their FTs.
- This property is helpful for analyzing signals in LTI systems.
LTI System
- An LTI system's output is the convolution of its input and impulse response.
Frequency Domain
- The Fourier transform, H(ω) of the impulse response h(t), is called frequency response.
- The frequency response is useful for understanding the behavior of an LTI system on various frequencies.
Interpreting the Frequency Response
- The frequency response describes how an LTI system changes the magnitude and phase of each complex sinusoid input.
- A real LTI system only changes the magnitude and phase of a real cosine input.
- LTI systems cannot introduce new frequencies.
Filters
- Filters are LTI systems that manipulate the frequencies in the signals.
Computing Outputs with the Frequency Response
- One can compute outputs for arbitrary inputs using the frequency response.
Using the Fourier Transform to Solve Differential Equations
- The Fourier transform can be used to solve differential equations because convolution in the time domain becomes multiplication in the frequency domain.
