Fourier series

• powerful tools for representing any


periodic function as a sum of sine and
cosines series.

• Means it has infinite Bandwidth


(BW)

• Provide inside information of the real


time signal in frequency domain or
reciprocal domain
Fourier Series:
Orthogonality conditions

If n and m are different, then

Cos n Sin m =0

Cos n Cos m =0

Sin n Sin m =0
Replace sin and cos with complex function
More than 25 harmonic fn
required to rectangular wave

Each circle represent a


sinusoidal function and
together (in fact you require
infinite numbers) makes a
rectangular function

You all can try to verify by writing series of sinusoidal functions on this link

1. Rectangular function

Each single line represent a frequency


Dirichlet Conditions

» A periodic signal x(t), has a Fourier series if it satisfies the


following conditions:
1. x(t) is absolutely integrable over any period, namely

a +T

∫ | x(t ) | dt < ∞,
a
∀a ∈ 

2. x(t) has only a finite number of maxima and minima over


any period

3. x(t) has only a finite number of discontinuities over any


period
Fourier Transform

» We have seen that periodic signals can be represented with the


Fourier series

» Can aperiodic signals be analyzed in terms of frequency


components?

» Yes, and the Fourier transform provides the tool for this analysis

» The major difference w.r.t. the line spectra of periodic signals is


that the spectra of aperiodic signals are defined for all real
values of the frequency variable 𝜔 not just for a discrete set of
values
Properties of the Fourier Transform

» Linearity: x(t ) ↔ X (ω ) y (t ) ↔ Y (ω )

α x(t ) + β y (t ) ↔ α X (ω ) + β Y (ω )

» Left or Right Shift in Time: x(t − t0 ) ↔ X (ω )e

Uncertainty product :

Travels a distance

Uncertainty product :

= 4π

The value of the product of Δω and Δt depends on the choice of ρ (ω)


Physical significance of uncertainty product

1. For wave packet which last long has very little spread in
frequency
2. A short sharp burst with a small spread in time has within it
a large range of frequencies
eg. Radio and TV signal

Wave packet describe the signal received at a certain point in


space as a function of time
