• Sinusoid
• Rectangular Pulse

CFT for Periodic Signals
Recall

• We want to get the CFT for a periodic signal
• What is ?

6
CFT for Periodic Signals

• Sine Wave
• w(t) A sin (2pf0t)

• Square Wave

7
Sampling

• Time-limited waveform
• w(t) 0 t gt T

• Band-limited waveform
• W(f)F(w(t)0 f gt B

• Can a waveform be both time-limited and
  band-limited?

8
Nyquist Sampling Theorem

• Any physical waveform can be represented by
• where
• If w(t) is band-limited to B Hz and

9
What does this mean?

• If then we can reconstruct w(t)
  without error by summing weighted, delayed sinc
  pulses
• weight w(n/fs)
• delay n/fs
• We need to store only
  samples of w(t),
  i.e., w(n/fs)
• The sinc pulses
  can be generated
  
  as needed (How?)

Impulse Sampling

• How do we mathematically represent a sampled
  waveform in the
• Time Domain?
• Frequency Domain?

Spectral Effect of Sampling
13
Aliasing

• If fs lt 2B, the waveform is undersampled
• aliasing or spectral folding
• How can we avoid aliasing?
• Increase fs
• Pre-filter the signal so that it is bandlimited
  to 2B lt fs

14
Dimensionality Theorem

• A real waveform can be completely specified by
  
• N 2BT0
  independent pieces of
  information over a time interval T0
• N Dimension of the waveform
• B Bandwidth
• BT0 Time-Bandwidth Product
• Memory calculation for storing the waveform
• fs gt 2B
• At least N numbers must be stored over the time
  interval T0 n/fs

15
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)

• Discrete Domains
• Discrete Time k 0, 1, 2, 3, , N-1
• Discrete Frequency n 0, 1, 2, 3, , N-1
• Discrete Fourier Transform
• Inverse DFT

Equal frequency intervals
n 0, 1, 2,.., N-1
k 0, 1, 2,.., N-1
16
Importance of the DFT

• Allows time domain / spectral domain
  transformations using discrete arithmetic
  operations
• Computational Complexity
• Raw DFT N2 complex operations ( 2N2 real
  operations)
• Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) N log2 N real
  operations
• Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
• Cooley and Tukey (1965), Butterfly Algorithm,
  exploits the periodicity and symmetry of
  e-j2pkn/N
• VLSI implementations FFT chips
• Modern DSP

17
How to get the frequency axis in the DFT

• The DFT operation just converts one set of
  number, xk into another set of numbers Xn -
  there is no explicit definition of time or
  frequency
• How can we relate the DFT to the CFT and obtain
  spectral amplitudes for discrete frequencies?
