Chapter 5.1 Fourier Representation for four Signal Classes 5.1.1Mathematical Development of Fourier Transform If the period is stretched without limit, the periodic signal no longer remains periodic but remains a single pulse x(t), corresponding to one period of the periodic pulse, x(t). It also represents a transition from a power signal to an energy signal. As, Also if we replace ωo by an infinitesimally small quantity dω 0, the discrete frequency kωo may be replaced by a continuous frequency ω. The factor1/t in the equation means that Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 1
Continuous Time Fourier Transform Hence, we can extend the formula for continuous-time Fourier series coefficients for a periodic signal to periodic signals as well. The continuous-time Fourier series is not defined for aperiodic signals, but we call the formula 5.2.2 Inverse Transforms the (continuous time) Fourier transform Replacing a k with Ta k and multiplying and dividing the RHS of FS Synthesis equation by 2π/ωo i.e Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 2
Inverse Transforms If we have the full sequence of Fourier coefficients for a periodic signal, we can reconstruct it by multiplying the complex sinusoids of frequency ω 0 k by the weights X k and summing: We can perform a similar reconstruction for aperiodic signals: These are called the inverse transforms Comparison of FS and FT Fourier Series : Used for Periodic Signals Fourier Transform: Used for Non-periodic Signals FS coefficients are a complex-valued function of integer k, FT is a complex-valued function of the variable - < ω< Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 3
5.1.3 Convergence Issues Dirichlets Conditions Condition 1: Over any period, x(t) must be absolutely integrable, i.e each coefficient to be finite Condition 2: In any finite interval, x(t) is of bounded variation; i.e., There are no more than a finite number of maxima and minima during any single period of the signal Condition 3: In any finite interval, x(t) has only finite number of discontinuities. Furthermore, each of these discontinuities is finite Convergence Issues Note that the above are sufficient conditions and not necessary conditions. Fourier transform for the analysis of many useful signals would be impossible if these were necessary conditions.

5.1.7 Magnitude and Phase Spectra The Fourier transform X(jω), in general, is a complex quantity and may be expressed in an exponential form as follows: For real signals This means as seen in above example, X(jω) versus ω display even Symmetry and the phase spectrum, that is plot of φ(ω) versus ω display odd symmetry. Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 13
Important facts about Spectra Nonperiodic signals have continuous spectra. Effects of symmetry on the FT of real x(t) are: Even Symmetry in : The FT, is real and even symmetric. Odd Symmetry in : The FT, is purely imaginary and odd symmetric. No symmetry in : The real part of, is even symmetric and imaginary part of, is odd symmetric. Example 4.1 Find the Fourier Transform of the signal Also plot the magnitude and phase spectra. Soln: Since is real,, exhibits odd symmetry. Hence is purely imaginary. The magnitude spectrum displays even symmetry and phase spectrum exhibits odd symmetry. Magnitude spectra for Ex4.1 The magnitude spectrum displays even symmetry Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 14
Phase spectra for Ex4.1 and phase spectrum exhibits odd symmetry Example 4.2 Find the Fourier Transform of the signal shown in fig below Also plot the magnitude and phase spectra. Soln: -Since is real, - is neither odd nor even. Hence has both real and imaginary parts. Krupa Rasane(KLE) Page 15

2. Time Shift Property Shift of Time Signal gives Linear Phase Shift of Frequency Components. If the time signal is Time Scaled by a. Then The FT is Freq. Scaled by 1/a. And Amplitude scaling by in the frequency domain.that means Compression of x(t) to x(at) in time domain leads to Expansion of X(jω) by a An interesting duality!!!

Given : For α<0, we see exponential growth and Dirichlets condition is violated. Hence FT does not exist for α <0.
