784 Chapter 24 The Fourier transform

24.9.1 Definitionofthed.f.t.

We consider a sequence ofN terms, f[0], f[1], f[2],..., f[N −1].

Thed.f.t.ofasequence f[n],n = 0,1,2,...,N −1,isanothersequenceF[k],also

havingN terms,defined by

F[k] =

∑N−1

n=0

f[n]e −2jnkπ/N

fork=0,1,2,...,N−1

We writeF[k] = D{f[n]}todenote the d.f.t. of the sequence f[n].

There are a number of variations of this definition and you need to be aware that

different authors may use slightly different formulae. This can cause confusion when

thed.f.t.isfirstmet.Inparticular,someauthorsincludeafactor 1 N inthedefinition,and

others use a positive exponential term instead of the negative one given above. What is

crucial isthatyou know which formula isbeing used and you apply itconsistently.

We now give an example toshow the application of the formula.

Example24.19 Findthe d.f.t. ofthe sequence f[n] = 1,2,−5,3.

Solution We use the formula

D{f[n]} =F[k] =

∑N−1

n=0

f[n]e −2jnkπ/N

fork=0,1,2,...,N−1

Herethe number ofterms,N, isfour:

3∑

F[k] =

n=0

f[n]e −2jnkπ/4

fork=0,1,2,3

So,whenk = 0,

3∑

F[0] = f[n]e 0

n=0

= 1

Whenk = 1,

3∑

F[1] =

=1+2+(−5)+3

n=0

f[n]e −2jnπ/4

= 1 +2e −2jπ/4 + (−5)e −2j2π/4 +3e −2j3π/4

=1+2e −πj/2 −5e −πj +3e −3jπ/2

= 1 +2(−j) −5(−1) +3j

=6+j
