2/28/08 DTFS is for periodic signals only aperiodic signals must use a discrete time fourier transform DTFT (Fig1) need inverse DTFT (Fig2) properties of DTF spectra continuous in OMEGA periodic in OMEGA with period of 2pi rad/s only 2pi radians of unique frequencies in DT if f[n] is real, then F(OMEGA) has conjugate symmetry abs(F(-OMEGA))=abs(F(OMEGA)) angle(F(-OMEGA)) = -angle(OMEGA) linearity existence of DTFT DTFT exists if sum of mag of terms in signal is less than inf (absolutely summable) properties of DTFT time and freq inversion multiply by n -> derivative of F time shift -> exponential frequency shift -> exponential convolution example (Fig3)
