  1. Outline Fourier transforms (FT) Forward and inverse Discrete (DFT) Fourier series Properties of FT: Symmetry and reciprocity Scaling in time and space Resolution in time (space) and frequency FT s of derivatives and time/space-shifted functions The Dirac s delta function

  2. Sin/cos() or exp() forms of Fourier series Note that the cos() and sin() basis in Fourier series can be replaced with a basis of complex exponential functions of positive and negative frequencies: ( ) ( ) + + inx inx cos sin a nx b nx e e n n n n + a ib a a ib , , and 0 n n n n where: 0 n n 2 2 2 The einx functions also form an orthogonal basis for all n The Fourier series becomes simply: = ( ) f x inx e n = n

  3. Time- (or space-) frequency uncertainty relation If we have a signal localized in time (space) within interval T, then its frequency bandwidth ( f) is limited by: 2 T or f T 1 For example, for a boxcar function B(t) of length T in time, the spectrum equals: ( ) B ( ) 2sin 2 T = 2 = = The width of its main lobe is: 2 T T This is known as the Heisenberg uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics

  4. Diracs delta function The generalized function plays the role of identity matrix in integral transforms: ( ) ( f x x ) ( ) x f x dx = (x) can be viewed as an infinite spike of zero width at x = 0, so that: ( ) x dx Another useful way to look at (x): = 1 (x) is the Heavyside function: (x) = 0 for x < 0 and (x) = 1 for x > 0 d dx ( ) x ( ) x

  5. Diracs delta function Recalling the formula we had for the forward and inverse Fourier transforms: 1 ( ) f x ( ) f x dx dk = = ikx ikx e e 2 1 ( ) ( ) ik x x = e dk f x dx 2 we also see another useful form for (y) (y = x - x here): 1 ( ) y = iky e dk 2
