Chapter 3 Fourier Transform Operations
Fourier Transform Operations When signals are processed in the time domain, various changes occur in their spectra. It is important to understand how the spectra are affected by these operations.
Fourier Transform Operations (cont.) In this module, the effects of various operations, such as differentiation and integration, will be studied in terms of the spectral changes.
Spectral Convergence Time FunctionAmplitude Rolloff • Function has finite 1/f or discontinuity. -6 dB/octave • Slope has 1/f2 or finite discontinuity. -12 dB/octave • Neither function nor At least 1/f3 or slope has discontinuity. -18 dB/octave
Summary • Any mathematical operation on a time function results in a change to the spectrum. • Differentiation accentuates high frequencies and diminishes low frequencies. • Integration accentuates low frequencies and diminishes high frequencies.
Summary (cont.) • Multiplication by a complex exponential shifts the spectrum to higher frequencies. • “Speeding up” a signal results in a wider spectrum and vice-versa.
