rem:
f ( t ) g ( t ) dt =
F ( f ) G ( f ) d f . Here
and F ( f ) and G ( f ) are their respective Fourier Transforms. This result is important, because it shows that the inner product is conserved in the transform domain. Note that a special case of
Parsevals Theorem occurs when f ( t ) = g ( t ) ; in this case we get which shows that energy is conserved in the transform domain.
f ( t ) dt =
F( f ) d f ,
To prove Parsevals Theorem we will use two other well known theorems. First, we know that the Fourier transform of g ( t ) is equal to G ( f ) . (This is very easy to prove). And second, we know the convolution theorem, which says that multiplication in the time domain corresponds to
f (t )g(t )e

F ( ) G ( f ) d . Putting these

tion holds for all values of the frequency variable f . In particular when we evaluate it at f = 0 , we get
f ( t ) g ( t ) dt =
