Scaling of the independent variable by a real constant a 
When a > 0 or a < 0

Hence the scaling of the independent variable is a self-dual operation.
Consider

Hence, x(t) and |a|1/2 x(at) have the same energy. Therefore such scaling is called energy normalized scaling of the independent variable.

 

Properties of Fourier Series.

Using the properties we just proved for the Fourier Transform, we state now the corresponding properties for the Fourier series.

Time-shift

Recall, that if x(t) is periodic then X(f) is a train of impulses.

We know: Properties of Fourier Transform | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)


Thus if x(t) is periodic with period T , x( t - t0) has Fourier series coefficients   Properties of Fourier Transform | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)

 

Differentiation 

If the periodic signal is differentiable then

If a > 0, x(at) is periodic with period ( T / a ) and now c k becomes Fourier coefficient corresponding to frequency . Properties of Fourier Transform | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)
If a < 0, x(at) is periodic with period ( T / -a) and now ck becomes Fourier coefficient corresponding to frequency Properties of Fourier Transform | Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)

 

Multiplication by t 

Multiplication by t of-course will not leave a periodic signal periodic. But what we can do is, multiply by t in one period, and then consider a periodic extension. i.e: x(t) is periodic with period T, we see what the Fourier series coefficients of y(t), defined as follows is:

FAQs on Properties of Fourier Transform - Signals and Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is the Fourier Transform?
Ans. The Fourier Transform is a mathematical technique that decomposes a complex waveform into a sum of simpler sine and cosine waves. It allows us to analyze the frequency components present in a signal or function.
2. What are the properties of Fourier Transform?
Ans. The properties of Fourier Transform include linearity, time shifting, frequency shifting, scaling, convolution, modulation, and duality. These properties enable us to manipulate and analyze signals effectively.
3. How does the Fourier Transform help in signal processing?
Ans. The Fourier Transform plays a crucial role in signal processing as it allows us to convert a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. This conversion helps in analyzing the frequency content of the signal, filtering unwanted noise, compressing audio/video data, and performing operations like convolution and correlation.
4. Can the Fourier Transform be applied to both continuous and discrete signals?
Ans. Yes, the Fourier Transform can be applied to both continuous and discrete signals. For continuous signals, we use the Continuous Fourier Transform (CFT), and for discrete signals, we use the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) or its faster variant, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
5. What is the relationship between the Fourier Transform and the Fourier Series?
Ans. The Fourier Transform and the Fourier Series are closely related. The Fourier Series represents a periodic function as a sum of sinusoidal components, whereas the Fourier Transform extends this concept to non-periodic functions by considering them as a sum of sinusoids with varying frequencies and amplitudes. The Fourier Transform can be seen as the continuous version of the Fourier Series.
