(1) x(t) can be of infinite duration, but must satisfy: a) Finite energy In this case, there is zero energy in the error b) Dirichlet conditions (including ) c) By allowing impulses in x(t) or in X(j), we can represent even more signals 11 Fourier Transform Examples Impulses (a) (b) 12 Fourier Transform of Right-Sided Exponential Even symmetry Odd symmetry 13 Fourier Transform of square pulse Note the inverse relation between the two widths Uncertainty principle Useful facts about CTFT’s 14 Fourier Transform of a Gaussian x(t) e at 2 — A Gaussian, important in probability, optics, etc. (Pulse width in t)•(Pulse width in ) ∆t•∆ ~ (1/a1/2)•(a1/2) = 1 15 CT Fourier Transforms of Periodic Signals 16 Fourier Transform of Cosine 17 Impulse Train (Sampling Function) Note: (period in t) T (period in ) 2/T 18 Properties of the CT Fourier Transform 1) Linearity 2) Time Shifting FT magnitude unchanged Linear change in FT phase 19 Properties (continued) 3) Conjugate Symmetry Even Odd Even Or Odd When x(t) is real (all the physically measurable signals are real), the negative frequency components do not carry any additional information beyond the positive frequency components: ≥ 0 will be sufficient. 20 More Properties 4) Time-Scaling a) x(t) real and even b) x(t) real and odd c) 21 Conclusions • • • • • System Frequency Response and Unit Sample Response Derivation of CT Fourier Transform pair CT Fourier Transforms of pulses, exponentials FT of Periodic Signals Impulses Time shift, Scaling, Linearity 22
