[MUSIC PLAYING] 10 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,340 PROFESSOR: In the last lecture, we 11 00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:56,760 considered the frequency response of linear shift 12 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,130 and variance systems. 13 00:00:59,130 --> 00:01:01,350 In this lecture, what I would like to do 14 00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:06,990 is extend some of those ideas to the notion of the Fourier 15 00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:12,390 transform, which I'll refer to as the discrete time Fourier 16 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,280 transform. 17 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,020 So let me begin by reminding you of one 18 00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:22,360 of the key results from last time, 19 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720 namely, the notion of the frequency 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,590 response of a linear shift invariant system. 21 00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:31,440 For a linear shift invariant system, 22 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,090 we saw last time that one of the key properties 23 00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:40,290 was that for a complex exponential input, 24 00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:44,460 the output is a complex exponential sequence 25 00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:50,100 with the same complex frequency, but with a change in amplitude. 26 00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,470 And the change in amplitude, that 27 00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:55,890 is the function h of e to the j omega, 28 00:01:55,890 --> 00:02:00,740 we refer to as the frequency response of the system. 29 00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:04,070 The expression that we had for the frequency response, 30 00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:06,890 in terms of the unit sample response, 31 00:02:06,890 --> 00:02:11,570 was that the frequency response h of e to the j omega, 32 00:02:11,570 --> 00:02:15,230 is given by the sum of h of n, the unit sample 33 00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:20,355 response of the system, multiplied by e to the minus j 34 00:02:20,355 --> 00:02:21,290 omega n. 35 00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:24,800 So this is a relationship that tells us, 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,040 in terms of the unit sample response of the system, 37 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280 how to get the frequency response. 38 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,970 There were two properties of the frequency response 39 00:02:34,970 --> 00:02:37,630 that I stressed last time. 40 00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:41,810 One of them was the fact that the frequency response 41 00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:46,070 is a function of a continuous variable, omega. 42 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:50,300 That is, complex exponential inputs 43 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:55,790 can have the frequency variable omega, vary continuously. 44 00:02:55,790 --> 00:02:59,090 Omega is a continuous variable, whereas n 45 00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:02,160 is the discrete variable. 46 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,840 So this was one important property. 47 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,220 The second important property is that the frequency response is 48 00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:13,290 a periodic function of omega. 49 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:17,510 And the period is equal 2 pi. 50 00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:21,730 H of e to the j omega is equal to h of e 51 00:03:21,730 --> 00:03:28,810 to the j omega plus 2 pi k, where k is any integer. 52 00:03:28,810 --> 00:03:34,540 Now one of the sort of heuristic explanations or justifications 53 00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:37,780 for why the frequency response is periodic, 54 00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,840 as I've tried to indicate in several lectures, 55 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,670 is basically tied to the fact that complex exponentials 56 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:53,170 or sinusoidal inputs, are very periodically with frequency 57 00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:56,020 over an interval 0 to 2 pi. 58 00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:59,500 That is, once we've looked at them for omega between 0 and 2 59 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,395 pi, if we go further than that in frequency, 60 00:04:02,395 --> 00:04:05,710 all we see are the same complex exponentials 61 00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:09,100 or the same sinusoids over again. 62 00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,650 So that, in essence, is the reason 63 00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:16,690 why the frequency response is a periodic function of omega. 64 00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:19,510 Well, one of the things we'd like to do 65 00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:22,810 is develop an inverse relationship, 66 00:04:22,810 --> 00:04:27,190 which permits us to get the unit sample response 67 00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:29,950 from the frequency response. 68 00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:35,920 One heuristic notion or style of developing 69 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,380 such an inverse relationship, we can 70 00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:44,980 get by observing that since the frequency response is 71 00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:47,830 a function of a continuous variable omega, 72 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:51,890 and in fact, it's a periodic function of omega, 73 00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:54,550 then it should have a Fourier series representation. 74 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:58,050 That is, it's a continuous periodic function. 75 00:04:58,050 --> 00:05:00,670 A continuous periodic function has a Fourier series 76 00:05:00,670 --> 00:05:02,810 representation. 77 00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:07,640 Well in fact, if we look at this expression, 78 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,620 we see that indeed what this is is a Fourier series 79 00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:17,140 expansion of this periodic function in terms 80 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:19,630 of a complex Fourier series. 81 00:05:19,630 --> 00:05:24,460 The Fourier series expressed in terms of complex exponentials. 82 00:05:24,460 --> 00:05:26,890 Well, what are the Fourier series coefficients? 83 00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:31,120 The Fourier series coefficients are the values 84 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,830 of the unit sample response, in other words, the values h of n. 85 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:39,880 So in fact, this has the form of a Fourier series. 86 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,790 That means that these are the Fourier coefficients. 87 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:46,480 That means that we can get these Fourier coefficients in terms 88 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,630 of h of e to the j omega, the way we always 89 00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:52,660 get Fourier series coefficients in terms 90 00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:56,510 of a periodic continuous function. 91 00:05:56,510 --> 00:05:59,440 Well, the resulting expression then 92 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,700 is that the Fourier series coefficients, or equivalently 93 00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:08,080 the unit sample response, is equal to 1 over 2 pi 94 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,570 times the integral over a period, which I've 95 00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:15,850 taken as minus pi to plus pi, of h of e to the j omega, 96 00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:19,600 e to the omega n, d omega. 97 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,860 This is just simply the expression 98 00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:25,270 for Fourier series coefficients in terms 99 00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:28,510 of the continuous periodic function 100 00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:30,250 that we're dealing with. 101 00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:34,990 Well that's, in a sense, a heuristic derivation. 102 00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:40,720 We can in fact verify that this expression is valid simply 103 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,450 by substituting in to the integral, the expression for h 104 00:06:46,450 --> 00:06:48,950 of e to the j omega. 105 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,910 And if we do that, we end up with, 106 00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:55,060 for the expression for h of e to the j omega, 107 00:06:55,060 --> 00:07:01,420 we have the sum of h of k, e to the minus j omega k. 108 00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:07,810 Substituting in, the result is this integral. 109 00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:13,300 If we interchange the order of summation and integration, 110 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,480 then the resulting expression is shown here. 111 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,480 And we can observe that this integral-- 112 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,540 First of all, let's consider it for n not equal to k. 113 00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:33,130 If n is not equal to k, this is just simply the integral 114 00:07:33,130 --> 00:07:37,150 over a period of 2 pi of a complex exponential 115 00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:40,155 whose period is 2 pi. 116 00:07:40,155 --> 00:07:42,030 The integral of the real part is the integral 117 00:07:42,030 --> 00:07:45,780 of a cosine over an integral number of periods. 118 00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:47,700 And the integral of the imaginary part 119 00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:52,210 is the integral of the sine over an integral number of periods. 120 00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:56,550 Obviously then, this integral, if n is not equal to k 121 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:57,825 is going to be 0. 122 00:07:57,825 --> 00:08:02,640 So for n not equal to k, the value of this integral 123 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:12,140 is 0, whereas for n equal to k, this exponent is 0, 124 00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:17,360 the exponential is unity, unity integrated from minus pi to pi 125 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,920 is equal to 2 pi. 126 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,190 So for n equal to k, the value of the integral 127 00:08:22,190 --> 00:08:24,710 is equal to 2 pi. 128 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:28,850 Well that means that the only term in this sum that 129 00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:32,990 is going to contribute to the answer is the term for k 130 00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:36,514 equal to n, because for all the others the integral is 0. 131 00:08:36,514 --> 00:08:41,179 So for k equal to n, that's the only non-zero term, for k 132 00:08:41,179 --> 00:08:43,280 equal to n, the value of this integral 133 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,300 is 2 pi, which will cancel out this 1 over 2 pi 134 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,976 and consequently we get h of n. 135 00:08:50,976 --> 00:08:57,200 All right, so this is, in a sense, a formal justification 136 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,330 for the fact that, indeed this is the inverse relationship 137 00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:07,280 to express h of n terms of the frequency response. 138 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,300 Although, in fact it's more useful in terms of insight 139 00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:14,090 to think of it as the Fourier series 140 00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:18,080 coefficients of a function, a periodic function, 141 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,280 of the continuous variable omega. 142 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:30,410 Now this in essence, is a Fourier domain representation 143 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:33,020 for the unit sample response of a system. 144 00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:37,310 And in fact, we can think of this as a Fourier transform 145 00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:43,760 or a time domain, Fourier domain transform pair, 146 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,660 relating the unit sample response of a system 147 00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:49,490 and the frequency response of the system. 148 00:09:49,490 --> 00:09:51,840 And we can go back and forth. 149 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:59,240 Now one of the obvious facts is that any sequence, 150 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,320 if we wanted to, we could think of as the unit sample 151 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,950 response of a system. 152 00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:11,170 Well, that suggests then that this transform pair 153 00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:13,810 isn't restricted to just sequences 154 00:10:13,810 --> 00:10:17,200 that we explicitly identify as the unit sample 155 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,490 response of a system. 156 00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:22,930 It in fact permits the representation of an arbitrary, 157 00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:25,120 not quite arbitrary as we'll see in a while, 158 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,000 but the representation of a more general class of sequences 159 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,160 than just the ones that we explicitly 160 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,490 identify as the unit sample response of a system. 161 00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:40,030 That is, we can generalize this set of ideas 162 00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:46,480 to the Fourier transform, which is a frequency domain 163 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,760 representation of an arbitrary, again not quite arbitrary, 164 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,270 but for the time being we'll consider arbitrary sequence, 165 00:10:55,270 --> 00:10:57,160 x of n. 166 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,860 Well, the Fourier transform then is defined as x of e 167 00:11:02,860 --> 00:11:06,910 to the j omega, which is the sum of x of n, e 168 00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:12,110 to the minus j omega n, the Fourier transform x of e 169 00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:17,760 to the j omega, of a sequence, x of n, 170 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,840 is essentially the frequency response of a system whose 171 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,960 unit sample response would be x of n. 172 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,120 So then obviously from what we just finished discussing, 173 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,170 we have an inverse relationship that tells us what x of n 174 00:11:34,170 --> 00:11:37,260 is in terms of x of e to the j omega. 175 00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:39,660 And that then is this relationship. 176 00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:51,310 Well this then provides a transform pair, or a frequency 177 00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:54,850 domain, time domain relationship between sequences 178 00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:57,430 and frequency domain functions. 179 00:11:57,430 --> 00:12:03,550 And it's useful, in fact, to interpret this expression 180 00:12:03,550 --> 00:12:08,920 somewhat heuristically again as basically corresponding 181 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,630 to a decomposition of a sequence, x of n, 182 00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:20,590 in terms of complex exponentials with incremental amplitude. 183 00:12:20,590 --> 00:12:25,660 This is basically an expression that says that x of n is a sum, 184 00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:29,200 except that it's sum sort of in the limit which corresponds 185 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,060 to an integral, of a set of complex exponentials 186 00:12:34,060 --> 00:12:36,340 with amplitudes that are essentially 187 00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:40,720 given by the Fourier transform x of e to the j omega. 188 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,900 Well in fact, you can see this a little more explicitly 189 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:47,860 if we consider this integral as the limiting form 190 00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:51,700 of a sum, the limit, as delta omega goes 191 00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:57,940 to 0, of the sum of x of e to the j k delta omega, 192 00:12:57,940 --> 00:13:04,630 times delta omega over 2 pi, e to the j k delta omega n. 193 00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:10,090 This limit is by definition, what this integral is. 194 00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:13,930 So an important point to keep in mind 195 00:13:13,930 --> 00:13:18,670 is that basically the Fourier transform corresponds 196 00:13:18,670 --> 00:13:22,750 to a decomposition of a sequence in terms 197 00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:27,220 of a linear combination of complex exponentials 198 00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:30,730 with incremental amplitudes. 199 00:13:30,730 --> 00:13:34,120 There are a number of reasons why that's 200 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,130 an important point of view. 201 00:13:36,130 --> 00:13:39,340 One of the reasons is that it leads 202 00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:43,710 to a very important property of linear shift invariance 203 00:13:43,710 --> 00:13:51,100 systems, which I refer to as the convolution property, 204 00:13:51,100 --> 00:14:00,430 and which states that if I have the convolution of two 205 00:14:00,430 --> 00:14:07,630 sequences, x of n and y of n, then the Fourier 206 00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:12,340 transform of those is the product of their Fourier 207 00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:13,780 transforms. 208 00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:19,940 And this of course, shouldn't be an h, it should be a y. 209 00:14:19,940 --> 00:14:23,270 Or this shouldn't be a y, it should be an h. 210 00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:26,960 The important property is that the convolution of two 211 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,620 sequences has, as its Fourier transform, 212 00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:35,000 the product of the Fourier transforms. 213 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,800 Well let's look at again, somewhat heuristically, 214 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,840 an argument that at least justifies 215 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,920 this, keeping in mind that we could go through this more 216 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,650 formally, plugging sums into integrals and integrals 217 00:14:48,650 --> 00:14:51,570 into sums, but let's not do that. 218 00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:56,870 Let's look at this from a somewhat heuristic point 219 00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:58,860 of view. 220 00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:03,350 First of all, we have that again, 221 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:06,320 a property that we began the lecture with, 222 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,450 that for a linear shift invariant system, 223 00:15:10,450 --> 00:15:13,760 a complex exponential input gives us 224 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,140 at the output, the same complex exponential, that 225 00:15:18,140 --> 00:15:20,480 is the same frequency, and only one 226 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:26,150 of them, multiplied by h of e to the j omega 0. 227 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:30,500 That's a consequence of linearity and shift invariance. 228 00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:35,330 We know also, that because of the fact that the system is 229 00:15:35,330 --> 00:15:40,190 linear, if we have a linear combination 230 00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:45,530 of complex exponentials, then the output of this system 231 00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:49,790 is going to be the same linear combination 232 00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:54,260 of complex exponentials, with the amplitudes multiplied 233 00:15:54,260 --> 00:15:57,410 by h of e to the j omega k. 234 00:15:57,410 --> 00:16:00,440 In other words, each of these exponentials 235 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,510 has as an output ase of k times h of e to the j omegus of k, e 236 00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:08,900 to the j omegus of k n. 237 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,090 A sum of those at the input gives us 238 00:16:11,090 --> 00:16:13,340 a sum at the output because of the fact 239 00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:16,010 that the system is linear. 240 00:16:16,010 --> 00:16:18,410 All right, so let's take an input, which 241 00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:23,570 is an arbitrary input, more or less arbitrary, an input 242 00:16:23,570 --> 00:16:32,590 x of n, which I can express in terms of its Fourier transform, 243 00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:38,620 in terms of this inverse Fourier transform relationship. 244 00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:44,500 All right, now m as I emphasized just a minute ago, 245 00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:51,760 is a decomposition of x of n as a linear combination 246 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,190 of complex exponentials. 247 00:16:54,190 --> 00:16:57,430 This is a linear combination of complex exponentials 248 00:16:57,430 --> 00:17:00,140 at the input, so what's the output? 249 00:17:00,140 --> 00:17:04,329 Well, the output is then going to be a linear combination 250 00:17:04,329 --> 00:17:08,560 of complex exponentials with the amplitude 251 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,560 of each one of the input exponentials, 252 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,670 multiplied by the frequency response of the system 253 00:17:15,670 --> 00:17:18,050 at that frequency. 254 00:17:18,050 --> 00:17:23,020 So the result is that with this as the input, what 255 00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:30,780 we have to get at the output is this, 256 00:17:30,780 --> 00:17:34,260 the same linear combination, the only change 257 00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:38,070 being that the complex amplitudes of the input 258 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:43,050 are multiplied by h of e to the j omega. 259 00:17:43,050 --> 00:17:48,360 Well, this of course, is the expression for the output. 260 00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:52,785 We put in x of n, we know that we're getting out y of n. 261 00:17:55,430 --> 00:18:01,340 So obviously this then must be the Fourier transform 262 00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:04,140 of the output of the system. 263 00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:07,460 So what this says then is that the Fourier 264 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:13,110 transform of the output y of e to the j omega, has to be this, 265 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:17,270 it has to be x of e to the j omega times h of e 266 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:20,150 to the j omega. 267 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:26,180 And basically-- well, and we know also that y of n 268 00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:30,650 is going to be equal to x of n convolved with h of n. 269 00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:36,470 So basically, this justifies the convolution property, that 270 00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:39,500 is the convolution of two sequences 271 00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,430 has as its Fourier transform, the product of the Fourier 272 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:46,700 transform of each of the individual sequences. 273 00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:48,230 Very important property. 274 00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:52,790 And although we can go through a formal derivation of this, 275 00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:58,380 in fact the basic reason for it is tied to the arguments 276 00:18:58,380 --> 00:18:59,670 that I've outlined here. 277 00:18:59,670 --> 00:19:02,430 And in terms of insight, I feel that it's 278 00:19:02,430 --> 00:19:05,760 more important to understand this way of looking at it 279 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,380 than to understand a formal derivation. 280 00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:13,410 Well, this is interesting, also important, 281 00:19:13,410 --> 00:19:18,270 and also should be familiar to you in terms of things 282 00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:19,930 that you're used to thinking about 283 00:19:19,930 --> 00:19:22,740 for continuous time systems. 284 00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:25,290 Obviously, in continuous time systems 285 00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:27,930 the same type of property holds. 286 00:19:27,930 --> 00:19:32,670 That is, that the Fourier transform changes 287 00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:35,400 convolution to multiplication. 288 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,690 And in fact, it permits the description of a linear shift 289 00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:44,640 invariant system to be in terms of multiplication 290 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,062 rather than in terms of convolution. 291 00:19:47,062 --> 00:19:48,770 And as we'll see in a number of lectures, 292 00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:55,080 that basically the basis for the notions of filtering 293 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,130 and some other very important notions, 294 00:19:57,130 --> 00:19:59,950 and notions of modulation etc. 295 00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:03,150 OK, key property, this is a key property 296 00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:06,540 of linear shift invariant systems and the Fourier 297 00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:08,130 transform. 298 00:20:08,130 --> 00:20:11,910 There are, of course, lots of other properties 299 00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:14,910 of linear shift invariant systems-- 300 00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:17,040 sorry, other properties, there are 301 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,280 other properties, obviously, of linear shift invariant systems. 302 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,780 There are other properties of Fourier transforms that 303 00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:30,000 are important, both in terms of interpreting Fourier transforms 304 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,500 and in terms of computing Fourier transforms 305 00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,590 of a variety of sequences. 306 00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:42,210 A lot of these properties will be developed in the text 307 00:20:42,210 --> 00:20:45,000 and also in the study guide, so you'll 308 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,340 have to do the work rather than me. 309 00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:51,720 But let me just indicate one class of properties that, 310 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,020 again, should be very familiar to you 311 00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:59,130 if you relate your thinking back to continuous time 312 00:20:59,130 --> 00:21:00,990 Fourier transforms. 313 00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:04,890 And that is the class of symmetry properties 314 00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:08,610 for the special case in which the sequences that we're 315 00:21:08,610 --> 00:21:13,320 talking about are real sequences. 316 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,020 Well the basic symmetry property is that for x of n 317 00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:25,680 real the Fourier transform is a conjugate symmetric function, 318 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,930 x of e to the j omega is equal to x conjugate of e 319 00:21:30,930 --> 00:21:34,410 to the minus j omega. 320 00:21:34,410 --> 00:21:39,030 And we can see that, essentially in a straightforward 321 00:21:39,030 --> 00:21:44,000 way, that is the derivation is effectively straightforward. 322 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,700 Here's x of e to the j omega, the sum of x of n, e 323 00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:50,730 to the minus j omega n. 324 00:21:50,730 --> 00:21:54,150 Here is x of e to the minus j omega. 325 00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:56,670 Well, the only difference between that and that 326 00:21:56,670 --> 00:22:00,000 is that we replace omega by minus omega, 327 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,400 so this becomes a plus sign. 328 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,110 Of course, it's not this that we want from this expression, 329 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:09,450 it's the conjugate of that. 330 00:22:09,450 --> 00:22:15,120 So we want to complex conjugate this. 331 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:18,940 Well, we will do the same on the left--hand side-- 332 00:22:18,940 --> 00:22:21,040 on the right-hand side. 333 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,100 And so we would conjugate that and conjugate 334 00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:33,910 this, which replaces this plus sign with a minus sign. 335 00:22:33,910 --> 00:22:39,180 But we're talking about a real sequence, x of n, 336 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:41,920 so x conjugate of n is just x of n. 337 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,870 In other words, this is just the x of an all over again. 338 00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:51,300 And so we have that x conjugate of e to the minus j omega 339 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:54,180 is the sum of x of n, e to the minus j 340 00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:57,960 omega n, which is just what we have up here. 341 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,860 So obviously then, these two are equal. 342 00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:08,070 So for a real sequence, the Fourier transform 343 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:10,660 is a conjugate symmetric function. 344 00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:14,430 This is what we'll call conjugate symmetric. 345 00:23:14,430 --> 00:23:18,390 Well let's press that a little further. 346 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:22,290 We have x of e to the j omega, which 347 00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:26,430 I can represent in terms of its real part 348 00:23:26,430 --> 00:23:31,810 and its imaginary part as obviously x real, x sub r of e 349 00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:38,270 to the j omega, plus j times x sub i of e to the j omega. 350 00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:42,870 And the conjugate symmetric counterpart 351 00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:50,420 is this with omega replaced by minus omega and the expression 352 00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:51,770 conjugated. 353 00:23:51,770 --> 00:23:56,390 So we have x sub r of e to the minus j omega, 354 00:23:56,390 --> 00:24:02,090 minus j times x sub i of e to the minus j omega. 355 00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:04,910 And we know that these two are equal. 356 00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:07,460 Well, if these two are equal, then these two 357 00:24:07,460 --> 00:24:11,430 are equal, and so are these. 358 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:15,510 The real part of x of e to the j omega 359 00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:21,300 must be equal to the real part of x of e to the minus j omega. 360 00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:24,150 In other words, the real part has 361 00:24:24,150 --> 00:24:30,480 to be the same if omega is replaced by minus omega. 362 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,380 That means then that the real part of the Fourier transform 363 00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:38,790 is an even function of omega. 364 00:24:38,790 --> 00:24:43,230 Meaning that if we replace omega by minus omega 365 00:24:43,230 --> 00:24:47,760 then the real part doesn't change. 366 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,310 The imaginary part, on the other hand, does. 367 00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:54,960 In particular, on the basis of what we're saying here 368 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,970 and the equality of these, the imaginary part x sub i of e 369 00:24:59,970 --> 00:25:03,900 to the j omega, must be equal to minus, 370 00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:07,530 don't forget the minus sign, minus x sub i of e 371 00:25:07,530 --> 00:25:09,630 to the minus j omega. 372 00:25:09,630 --> 00:25:15,810 And that says then, that if we replace omega by minus omega, 373 00:25:15,810 --> 00:25:19,350 then the sign of the imaginary part changes. 374 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:24,720 So the imaginary part, in fact, is an odd function of omega. 375 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,590 The real part is an even function of omega. 376 00:25:28,590 --> 00:25:32,550 Well, from this, or from this, we 377 00:25:32,550 --> 00:25:37,650 can also show that the magnitude of the Fourier transform 378 00:25:37,650 --> 00:25:42,520 is an even function of omega. 379 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,220 And the angle of the Fourier transform 380 00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:51,610 is an odd function of omega. 381 00:25:51,610 --> 00:25:56,460 And those, of course, are identical to what 382 00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:59,640 we know is true for the continuous time Fourier 383 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,230 transform. 384 00:26:01,230 --> 00:26:04,530 Remember however, again, that these are periodic functions, 385 00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:09,140 whereas in the continuous time case, they're not. 386 00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:12,480 All right well, this is an introduction 387 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,820 to the Fourier transform. 388 00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:22,230 One of the things that we've refrained 389 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:25,020 from doing in all of these lectures 390 00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:30,000 is tying our development too closely 391 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,940 to the notion of continuous time signals, and in particular, 392 00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:38,640 avoiding to some extent, the notion 393 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,800 of interpreting discrete time signals as just simply sampled 394 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,100 replicas of continuous time signals. 395 00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,650 And we'll continue to do that throughout this set 396 00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:51,160 of lectures. 397 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,960 But in particular Fourier transform, 398 00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:01,980 I think that it's instructive to tie together, 399 00:27:01,980 --> 00:27:04,170 at least in terms of some insight 400 00:27:04,170 --> 00:27:07,980 into the relationship, the continuous time Fourier 401 00:27:07,980 --> 00:27:12,090 transform of obviously continuous time signal, 402 00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:17,820 and the discrete time Fourier transform for a sequence that's 403 00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:20,970 obtained by periodic sampling. 404 00:27:20,970 --> 00:27:25,150 That is, equally spaced sampling of the continuous time signal. 405 00:27:25,150 --> 00:27:29,460 So what I'd like to do now is focus on that relationship, 406 00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:33,660 emphasizing again, that not all sequences arise 407 00:27:33,660 --> 00:27:37,560 by periodic sampling of continuous time signals. 408 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,200 But for the cases in which they do, 409 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,440 the relationship between the continuous time 410 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,690 and discrete time Fourier transform is instructive. 411 00:27:46,690 --> 00:27:55,170 So let's take a look at the relationship 412 00:27:55,170 --> 00:28:02,280 between some continuous time and discrete time Fourier 413 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,860 transforms when we obtain the discrete time signal 414 00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:11,740 by sampling a continuous time signal. 415 00:28:11,740 --> 00:28:17,790 Well, we begin of course, with a continuous time, 416 00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:22,470 time function which I denote by x sub a of t, a sort of meaning 417 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:24,030 analog. 418 00:28:24,030 --> 00:28:27,030 And the steps that we would go through 419 00:28:27,030 --> 00:28:31,590 to convert that to a sequence are first of all, 420 00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:36,550 to go through a sampler, which I've indicated here. 421 00:28:36,550 --> 00:28:42,510 And the output of the sampler is then a sampled continuous time 422 00:28:42,510 --> 00:28:46,500 version of this signal. 423 00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,740 This essentially is the input signal 424 00:28:49,740 --> 00:28:53,810 multiplied by an impulse train. 425 00:28:53,810 --> 00:28:56,540 So I've indicated that here, here's 426 00:28:56,540 --> 00:28:58,970 the continuous time input. 427 00:28:58,970 --> 00:29:02,630 Here is the continuous time output 428 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:05,030 of the sampler, which is an impulse 429 00:29:05,030 --> 00:29:09,020 train with the envelope of the impulse train 430 00:29:09,020 --> 00:29:14,430 being the continuous time function x sub a of t. 431 00:29:14,430 --> 00:29:16,460 All right, well this isn't the sequence. 432 00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:19,430 This is just simply an impulse train. 433 00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:21,980 To turn this into a sequence we need 434 00:29:21,980 --> 00:29:26,350 to go into a box, which I've labeled 435 00:29:26,350 --> 00:29:30,470 c slash d, meaning continuous time to discrete time 436 00:29:30,470 --> 00:29:32,180 converter. 437 00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:37,250 And the output then is a sequence x of n. 438 00:29:37,250 --> 00:29:42,290 The sequence values being samples of x sub a of t 439 00:29:42,290 --> 00:29:46,640 at the sampling instances n times capital 440 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,180 T. In other words, it's converting 441 00:29:50,180 --> 00:29:55,500 the areas of these impulses into sequence values. 442 00:29:55,500 --> 00:30:01,520 Now I've illustrated it here for one choice for the sampling 443 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,140 interval capital T. Let's, down here, 444 00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:10,250 illustrate it for a sampling interval that's twice as long. 445 00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:14,840 Well, of course we have the same continuous time input. 446 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,610 The sampled output, x sub a, tilde of t, 447 00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:24,410 has the same envelope, but the spacing of the impulses 448 00:30:24,410 --> 00:30:28,970 is twice what it is here, and that I've indicated. 449 00:30:28,970 --> 00:30:32,150 The envelope, of course, is the same. 450 00:30:32,150 --> 00:30:34,690 But at the output of the continuous time 451 00:30:34,690 --> 00:30:38,190 to discrete time converter, what do we have? 452 00:30:38,190 --> 00:30:43,970 Well, we have the areas of these impulses lined up 453 00:30:43,970 --> 00:30:50,090 along this axis, again, at integer values of n. 454 00:30:50,090 --> 00:30:54,020 That is, the spacing of the lines, 455 00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:56,210 when we look at the sequence here, 456 00:30:56,210 --> 00:31:00,290 must be exactly the same as the spacing of the lines here, 457 00:31:00,290 --> 00:31:03,650 it's just that the values are different because we picked out 458 00:31:03,650 --> 00:31:06,150 samples at different instance. 459 00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:11,420 So in fact, the envelope here is indeed 460 00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:15,560 a compressed version of the envelope that we had here. 461 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,670 Very important point. 462 00:31:17,670 --> 00:31:22,760 The point being that no matter what the sampling rate is 463 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,600 the sequence values, when we line them up as a sequence, 464 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,760 are going to fall at integer values along this argument, 465 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,450 n, always at intervals that correspond to 1. 466 00:31:36,450 --> 00:31:39,320 Whereas the output of the sampler 467 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,700 had impulses occurring at a spacing of capital T, which 468 00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:46,610 in this case, was capital T 1, and in this case 469 00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:49,520 is capital T 2. 470 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,380 All right well, this is essentially 471 00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:56,090 the sampling process plus the conversion to a discrete time 472 00:31:56,090 --> 00:31:57,540 signal. 473 00:31:57,540 --> 00:32:00,050 And now let's take a look at what this 474 00:32:00,050 --> 00:32:07,430 means in terms of the Fourier transform of the discrete time 475 00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:11,210 signal as compared with the Fourier transform 476 00:32:11,210 --> 00:32:15,090 of the continuous time signal. 477 00:32:15,090 --> 00:32:17,820 Let's do this in two steps. 478 00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:20,820 First of all, we have the sampler. 479 00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:25,650 Here is the input x sub a of t, continuous time function. 480 00:32:25,650 --> 00:32:29,390 Here is the output, x sub a tilde of t, a continuous time 481 00:32:29,390 --> 00:32:30,800 function. 482 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,520 And the output of the sampler is the input 483 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:40,220 to the sampler, multiplied by an impulse train. 484 00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:44,990 Or equivalently, it's an impulse train 485 00:32:44,990 --> 00:32:47,660 with the areas of the impulses given 486 00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:52,190 by the values of x sub a of t at the times 487 00:32:52,190 --> 00:32:54,560 that the impulses occur. 488 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,230 Naught, by the way, is what I'm using as the notation 489 00:32:57,230 --> 00:33:02,640 to designate a unit impulse, unit continuous time impulse. 490 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,810 Now in the Fourier transformed domain then, 491 00:33:05,810 --> 00:33:09,500 the continuous time Fourier transform, 492 00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:13,970 is the convolution of the continuous time 493 00:33:13,970 --> 00:33:17,720 Fourier transform of x sub a of t, 494 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,770 convolved with the Fourier transform of the impulse train, 495 00:33:21,770 --> 00:33:25,184 which is an impulse train in the frequency domain. 496 00:33:25,184 --> 00:33:26,600 That's a result that you should be 497 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,830 familiar with for continuous time signals. 498 00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:34,250 Or equivalently, it's given by 1 over t, 499 00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:37,160 times the sum of x sub a of j omega, 500 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,650 plus j 2 pi r over capital T. Basically, what that means 501 00:33:42,650 --> 00:33:48,430 is that the Fourier transform of this continuous time signal 502 00:33:48,430 --> 00:33:50,590 is equal to the Fourier transform 503 00:33:50,590 --> 00:33:55,000 of this continuous time signal, but repeated over and over 504 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,610 again in frequency at intervals of 2 pi over capital T. 505 00:34:00,610 --> 00:34:06,100 So this is sort of a standard sampling theorem kind of result 506 00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,650 in the continuous time case, and a result 507 00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:11,770 that you should be more or less familiar with. 508 00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:16,929 Let's look at this now from a different point of view. 509 00:34:16,929 --> 00:34:21,310 Again looking at x sub a tilde of j omega. 510 00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:25,600 Well x sub a tilde of j omega is the integral 511 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:32,050 of x sub a tilde of t, e to the minus j omega t d t. 512 00:34:32,050 --> 00:34:35,889 Substitute in for x sub a tilde of t, 513 00:34:35,889 --> 00:34:38,949 the relationship in terms of an impulse train, 514 00:34:38,949 --> 00:34:42,010 and interchange summation and integration, 515 00:34:42,010 --> 00:34:46,659 and I think you could verify in a very straightforward way 516 00:34:46,659 --> 00:34:51,820 that what you end up with is an expression for the Fourier 517 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:55,600 transform at the output of the sampler 518 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:01,270 as given by the sampling values times e to the minus j n 519 00:35:01,270 --> 00:35:05,470 capital omega T. Capital omega is a continuous frequency 520 00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:07,490 variable. 521 00:35:07,490 --> 00:35:10,580 Now we want to look at the relationship 522 00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:15,890 between the Fourier transform, continuous time of x sub a of t 523 00:35:15,890 --> 00:35:20,150 and the discrete time Fourier transform of x of n. 524 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:23,420 So we have the next step, which is 525 00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:28,280 to put this impulse train into the continuous to discrete time 526 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,240 converter. 527 00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:33,510 And I remind you that we just developed two results. 528 00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:37,020 One result was that x sub a tilde of j omega 529 00:35:37,020 --> 00:35:39,450 was given by this expression. 530 00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:44,410 Also we developed that it was given by this expression. 531 00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:46,800 Well what's the Fourier transform 532 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,820 of the output of the continuous to discrete time converter? 533 00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:55,850 Well, it's just simply x of e to the j omega, 534 00:35:55,850 --> 00:35:59,380 our discrete time Fourier transform, 535 00:35:59,380 --> 00:36:05,880 which is equal to the sum on n of x of n. 536 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,770 But x of n is x sub a of n capital T. So we have x sub a 537 00:36:11,770 --> 00:36:20,850 of n capital T, times e to the minus j omega n. 538 00:36:20,850 --> 00:36:24,810 Well let's compare this with this. 539 00:36:24,810 --> 00:36:29,520 We see that they're exactly the same except that for omega, 540 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,270 little omega here we have capital omega times 541 00:36:33,270 --> 00:36:35,700 capital T there. 542 00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:40,080 Consequently, we can say that the discrete time Fourier 543 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,920 transform is equal to the Fourier 544 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,910 transform of the impulse train, the continuous time Fourier 545 00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:52,590 transform of the impulse train, with omega times capital T 546 00:36:52,590 --> 00:36:53,790 equal to little omega. 547 00:36:56,380 --> 00:37:01,540 And we had another expression for the Fourier transform 548 00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:05,380 of the impulse train, which we derived here. 549 00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:08,770 Consequently, the final result that we end up with 550 00:37:08,770 --> 00:37:14,980 is that the Fourier transform of the discrete time sequence 551 00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:21,490 is equal to 1 over t times the sum of x sub a of j omega, 552 00:37:21,490 --> 00:37:28,360 plus j 2 pi r over capital T, with omega replaced 553 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:34,550 by little omega, divided by capital T. In other words, 554 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:38,110 we had the expression that capital omega times capital T 555 00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:40,180 is equal to little omega. 556 00:37:40,180 --> 00:37:44,470 And this then tells us what the Fourier transform 557 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:47,890 of the sequence is in terms of the Fourier 558 00:37:47,890 --> 00:37:51,080 transform of the output. 559 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,510 Well, this is just the equations. 560 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:57,690 Let's take a look at what this looks like graphically. 561 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:13,960 I've depicted here the continuous time 562 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:20,380 Fourier transform of some time function, 563 00:38:20,380 --> 00:38:22,480 and I picked the Fourier transform 564 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,500 that looks like a triangle. 565 00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:29,440 Well, first of all we derived the fact 566 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,040 that the impulse train that results 567 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,980 from sampling little x sub a of t 568 00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:41,110 has a Fourier transform, which is this, periodically repeated 569 00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:47,830 in frequency with a period in frequency equal to 2 pi divided 570 00:38:47,830 --> 00:38:53,990 by capital 1, where capital 1 is the sampling rate. 571 00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:57,110 And on the basis of the expression 572 00:38:57,110 --> 00:39:02,060 that we derived relating the discrete time Fourier transform 573 00:39:02,060 --> 00:39:05,430 and the continuous time Fourier transform, 574 00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:07,970 the discrete time Fourier transform 575 00:39:07,970 --> 00:39:12,830 looks exactly like this, but with a re-normalization 576 00:39:12,830 --> 00:39:18,650 of the frequency axis, because capital omega times capital T 577 00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:21,540 is equal to little omega. 578 00:39:21,540 --> 00:39:25,730 Yes, capital omega times capital T is equal to little omega. 579 00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:33,170 So where capital omega is equal to 2 pi over capital T, 580 00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:35,870 little omega is equal to 2 pi. 581 00:39:35,870 --> 00:39:40,760 So this point, which was at pi over capital T 582 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,930 ends up on the omega, little omega axis at pi. 583 00:39:44,930 --> 00:39:50,180 So this picture just simply gets scaled according 584 00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:53,690 to the relationship that capital omega times capital T 585 00:39:53,690 --> 00:39:56,630 is equal to little omega. 586 00:39:56,630 --> 00:40:02,310 Well, this is, for one choice of the sampling period. 587 00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:06,210 Obviously, if capital T was large 588 00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:10,420 enough so that 2 pi over t 1 was small enough, 589 00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:13,530 then each of these individual replicas of the frequency 590 00:40:13,530 --> 00:40:16,200 response would interact. 591 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,860 And we wouldn't have just the simple separation 592 00:40:19,860 --> 00:40:22,380 of the spectra as we have here. 593 00:40:22,380 --> 00:40:26,940 We'd have an interaction, which of course, is 594 00:40:26,940 --> 00:40:30,960 the interaction and the relationship between when 595 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,690 that interaction occurs and capital T, 596 00:40:33,690 --> 00:40:37,740 is the basis for the well-known, and hopefully, theorem 597 00:40:37,740 --> 00:40:41,550 that you're familiar with namely, the sampling theorem. 598 00:40:41,550 --> 00:40:46,830 Well, to illustrate that if we had a different sampling rate, 599 00:40:46,830 --> 00:40:50,580 say twice the sampling rate that we have over here, 600 00:40:50,580 --> 00:40:53,700 so that capital T is equal to 2 times capital 601 00:40:53,700 --> 00:41:01,060 T 1, then starting with the same continuous time spectrum, what 602 00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:07,030 we have now is the spectra, again periodically repeated, 603 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:10,270 with a period again, which is 2 pi over capital T, 604 00:41:10,270 --> 00:41:15,310 which in this case is 2 pi over capital T 2, 605 00:41:15,310 --> 00:41:17,740 but now they interact and of course, we 606 00:41:17,740 --> 00:41:18,850 have to add these up. 607 00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:21,730 That was the expression that we just derived. 608 00:41:21,730 --> 00:41:26,110 So in that case, we get some interaction or aliasing, 609 00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:28,160 as it's referred to. 610 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,320 And due to this aliasing, the periodic, 611 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,410 one period of this periodic spectrum 612 00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:39,780 no longer resembles the original spectrum. 613 00:41:39,780 --> 00:41:46,320 This is the Fourier transform for the sampled continuous time 614 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:46,980 function. 615 00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:49,230 That is, this is the Fourier transform 616 00:41:49,230 --> 00:41:50,970 for the impulse train. 617 00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:54,330 And now if we renormalizing the frequency axis 618 00:41:54,330 --> 00:41:58,050 so that we express this in terms of the discrete time frequency 619 00:41:58,050 --> 00:42:04,560 variable, little omega, then we simply scale this picture 620 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,390 so that we end up with 2 pi over capital T, 621 00:42:09,390 --> 00:42:14,760 corresponding to 2 pi in little omega. 622 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,080 Pi over capital T corresponding to pi. 623 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,910 And we see in fact, as-- 624 00:42:20,910 --> 00:42:24,240 we better see, that is, it better turn out this way, 625 00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:28,080 that the spectrum in the discrete time case 626 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,110 is a periodic function of omega. 627 00:42:31,110 --> 00:42:32,940 In other words, it's periodic. 628 00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:37,500 Furthermore, the period is given by 2 pi, 629 00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:43,440 whereas here the period was 2 pi divided by capital T. 630 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,290 All right, this perhaps takes a little digesting. 631 00:42:46,290 --> 00:42:47,880 And you'll have some chance to do 632 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:53,040 that as we work some problems. 633 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,980 We, meaning you, as you work some problems 634 00:42:55,980 --> 00:42:59,580 in the study guide and digest this a little 635 00:42:59,580 --> 00:43:01,540 while you're reading the text. 636 00:43:01,540 --> 00:43:04,310 But it's an important relationship 637 00:43:04,310 --> 00:43:07,940 and it's important to understand it. 638 00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:13,440 Now, this is basically the Fourier transform, 639 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,990 the relationship between the discrete time 640 00:43:15,990 --> 00:43:18,990 and continuous time Fourier transform. 641 00:43:18,990 --> 00:43:23,370 One of the difficulties with the Fourier transform, 642 00:43:23,370 --> 00:43:28,440 which I've avoided illustrating explicitly in this lecture, 643 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,030 is that the Fourier transform doesn't 644 00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:32,040 exist for all sequences. 645 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,950 In particular, it doesn't converge for all sequences. 646 00:43:35,950 --> 00:43:40,920 And this is a problem which we can get around 647 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,520 by generalizing the notion of the Fourier 648 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,260 transform to what we'll call the z transform. 649 00:43:49,260 --> 00:43:53,010 And the z transform, as you'll observe, 650 00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:57,660 is like, in the continuous time case, the Laplace transform. 651 00:43:57,660 --> 00:44:01,000 And this is what we'll go on to in the next lecture. 652 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,500 Thanks 653 00:44:02,500 -->
