1. Introduction
• Engineers view signals in terms of frequency
spectra
• Audio signals having bandwidth of 20 kHz
• Loudspeakers responding to 20 kHz audio
signal
• We will study spectra representation of
aperiodic signals
2. Aperiodic Representation
• Aperiodic signal g(t) can be represented as a continuous sum
(integral) of everlasting exponential
• We have to construct a new periodic gT0(t) by repeating signal
g(t) every T0 seconds.
• gT0(t) can be represented as exponential Fourier series
• As T0 -> ∞ :
• Exponential Fourier series for gT0(t)
3. Aperiodic Representation
• Integrating gT0 over (-T0/2, T0/2) is the same as integrating g(t)
• If we define a function G(f)as a function ω
• Shows that Fourier Coefficient Dn are (1/T0 times) the samples of
G(f) uniformly spaced at intervals of f0 Hz
• (1/T0)(G(f)) is the envelope for the coefficient Dn

• If T0 is doubled, the envelop is halved and magnitude
gets smaller as T0 is doubled more.
• Shape remains the same
• gT0(t) becomes
• Because T0 ->∞, f0 = 1/T0 becomes infinitesimal (f0->0).
Hence ∆f = 1/T0

7. Conjugate Symmetry Property
• If g(t) is a real function of t, G(f) and G(-f) are complex
conjugate
G(-f) = G*(f)
• This means:
|G(-f)| = |G(f)|
θg(-f) = -θg(f)

for the existence of its transform

• The unit rectangular pulse rect(x) in (a) is expanded by a
factor τ rect(x/τ) in (b)
13. Sinc function

• Plays an important role in signal processing
sinc(x) = sin x/x
• It is an even function of x
• Sinc (x) = 0 when sin x = 0 except at x = 0, i.e sinc (x) = 0
for t =

• Sinc(ωt/2) = 0 when ωt/2 = ±nπ when f = ±n/τ (n = 1, 2 ,
3, ……)
• G(f) is real, hence spectra is just a single plot of G(f)
• See plot in the text
• The spectrum peaks at f = 0 and decays at higher
frequencies.
• Π(t/τ) is a low-pass signal with most of the signal energy
in lower frequency components
• Signal bandwidth – difference between highest
(significant) frequency and lowest (significant) frequency
in the signal spectrum

20. Find the Fourier transform of the sign function sgn(t) –(signum t)
its value is +1 or -1 depending on whether t is positive or
negative

23. Some properties of Fourier Transform
• Properties of Fourier transform, implications and
Applications will be studied
• Time-Frequency Duality- similar to photograph and its
negative
• If g(t) <=>G(f)
• Time-shifting property
• Dual of the time-shifting property
• There is role reversal, and we quarantee that any result
will have a dual
24. Duality Property
• If the fourier transform of g(t) is G(f) then the
fourier transform of G(t) with f replaced by t is
g(-f)
• g(-f) is the original time domain signal with t
replaced by -f
25. Apply duality property to the pair of figures below
• Figure
• G(t) is the same G(f), and g(-f) is the same as g(t) with t
replaced by –f
• Substituting τ = 2πα
26. Time-Scaling Property
• If
• For any real constant a
• Proof
• If a < 0
• A time compression of a signal results in a
spectral expansion and vice versa
27. Time scaling property
• Compression in time by a factor a means that the signal
is varying more rapidly by the same factor
• To synthesize, frequencies of the signal must be
increased by a (frequency spectrum expanded by a)
• A signal cos 4πf0t is the same as the signal cos 2πf0t time
compressed by a factor of 2
28. Reciprocity of signal and its bandwidth
• Time-scaling property implies that if g(t) is
wider, its spectrum is narrower and vice versa
• Doubling the signal duration halves it
bandwidth and vice versa
• Bandwidth of a signal is inversely proportional
to the signal duration or (width in seconds)
• E.g bandwidth of previous figures.
30. Time-Shifting Property
• Delaying a signal by to second does not change
its amplitude spectrum, however the phase
spectrum is changed by -2πft0
• If
• Proof:
If t-t0 = x
31. Time-shifting Property
• Time delay in a signal causes linear phase shift
in its spectrum
• To achieve the same delay, higher frequency
sinusoids must undergo proportionately larger
phase shift
32. Example
• Find the Fourier transform
• Delay causes a linear phase spectrum
34. • Because ejπfot is not a real function in practise, frequency
shifting in practice is achieved by multiplying g(t) by a
sinusoid.
• Multiplication of g(t) by a sinusoid of frequency f0 shifts
the spectrum G(f) by ±f0.
• Mulitplication of a sinusoid cos 2πf0t by g(t) amounts to
modulating the sinusoid amplitude. (amplitude
modulation)
• cos 2πf0t is the carrier, g(t) is the modulating signal and
cos 2πf0t g(t) is the modulated signal (chapt 4 and 5)
35. • To sketch a signal g(t) cos 2πf0t
• g(t) cos 2πf0t touches g(t) when the sinusoid cos 2πf0t is
at its peaks and touches when cos 2πf0t is at its negative
peaks
• g(t) and –g(t) therefore acts as envelopes for the signal
g(t) cos 2πf0t
• g(t) and –g(t) are mirror images of each other about the
horizontal axis.
36.
37. Shifting the phase spectrum of a
modulated signal
• By using cos (2πf0t+θ) instead of cos 2πf0t
• If signal g(t) is multiplied by cos (2πf0t+θ),
• If
38. Example
• Find and sketch the Fourier transform of the modulated
signal g(t)cos2πf0t in which g(t) is a rectangular pulse
Π(t/T) as shown below:
• From pair , G(f)
• Spectrum is shown below
39. Application of Modulation
• Modulation is used to shift signal spectra in this
scenarios:
– Interference will occur if signals occupying the same
frequency band are transmitted over the same medium
– Example, if radio stations broadcast audio signals, receiver
will not be able to separate them
– Radio stations could be assigned different carrier
frequency.
– Radio station transmit modulated signal, thus shifting the
signal spectrum to allocated band.
– Both modulation and demodulation utilizes spectra
shifting
– Transmitting several signals simultaneously over a channel
by using different frequency bands is called Frequency
division multiplexing
40. Application of Modulation
• Audio freqencies are so low (large wavelength) that it will
require impractical large antennas for radiation.
• Shifting the spectrum to a higher frequency (smaller
wavelength) by modulation will solve the problem
