  3. Fourier Transform Discrete case

  4. Fourier Transform Pairs

  5. Convolution Theorem

  6. Signal Detection:Real & Image Components X channel (0 phase - Real) Y channel (90 phase - Imaginary)

  7. Single-Channel Detection Problem: positive & negative frequencies cannot be distinguished! X channel (0 phase - Real) Y channel (90 phase - Imaginary)

  8. Quadrature Detection + and - frequencies can be distinguished. The entire bandwidth can be utilized

  9. Signal ADCWith sufficient sampling rate

  10. Signal ADC Insufficient sampling rate causes aliasing
