Fourier Analysis (1/3) g(t) is a nonperiodic deterministic signal, the Fourier transform of g(t) is j=, f denotes frequency Inverse Fourier transform: g(t) and G(f) are said to constitute a Fouriertransform pair 4
Fourier Analysis (2/3) Dirichlet s conditions (sufficient for existence of a Fourier transform): g(t) is single-valued, with a finite number of maxima and minima in any finite time interval g(t) has a finite number of discontinuities in any finite time interval g(t) is absolutely integrable Physical realizability is a sufficient condition for the existence of a Fourier transform 5
Fourier Analysis (3/3) All energy signals are Fourier transformable The terms Fourier transform and spectrum are used interchangeably G(f) is the magnitude spectrum of g(t); arg{g(f)} is the phase spectrum 6

Dirac Delta Function (1/1) Definition of Dirac delta function (unit function): Shifting property of delta function: Convolution of any function with the delta function leaves that function unchanged (replication property) Delta function is a limiting form of a pulse of unit area with duration of the pulse approaches zero 9

Transmission of Signals Through Linear Systems (1/2) A system refers to any physical device that produces an output signal in response to an input signal In a linear system, the principle of superposition holds. The response of a linear system to a number of excitations applied simultaneously is equal to the sum of the responses of the system when each excitation is applied individually. A linear system is described in terms of its impulse response (response of the system to a delta function) When the response of the system is invariant in time, it is called a time-invariant system. 14
Transmission of Signals Through Linear Systems (2/2) Response of a system, y(t), in terms of the impulse response h(t) by Convolution is cumulative ( 可交換的 ) 15
Frequency Response of Linear Time-invariant Systems (1/2) Define the frequency response of the system as the Fourier transform of its impulse response The response of a linear time-invariant system to a complex exponential function of frequency f is the same complex exponential function multiplied by a constant coefficient H(f) The frequency response H(f) : magnitude response β(f): phase response 16

Bandwidth (1/3) We may specify an arbitrary function of time or an arbitrary spectrum, but we cannot specify both of them together. If a signal is strictly limited in frequency, the timedomain description of the signal will trail on indefinitely. A signal is strictly limited in frequency or strictly band limited if its Fourier transform is exactly zero outside a finite band of frequencies. A signal cannot be strictly limited in both time and frequency. 18
Bandwidth (2/3) There is no universally accepted definition of bandwidth; nevertheless, there are some commonly used definitions for bandwidth. Null-to-null bandwidth: spectrum of a signal is bounded by well-defined nulls (i.e., frequencies at which the spectrum is zero). 3-dB bandwidth: the separation between zero frequency, where the magnitude spectrum drops to of its peak value 19
Bandwidth (3/3) Root mean square (rms) bandwidth: 20
Time-bandwidth Product (1/1) Time-bandwidth product or bandwidth-duration product: (duration x bandwidth) = constant Whatever definition we use for the bandwidth of a signal, the time-bandwidth product remains constant over certain classes of pulse signals. 21
