The Discrete Fourier Series

The document discusses the discrete Fourier series (DFS) representation of periodic discrete-time signals. It defines the DFS representation, provides examples of calculating DFS coefficients for periodic impulse trains and rectangular pulse trains, and discusses properties such as linearity, shift, duality, and periodic convolution. It also discusses the relationship between the DFS coefficients and the Fourier transform of one period of the signal.

The Discrete Fourier Series

Discrete Fourier Series

Given a periodic sequence ~


x[n] with period N so that
~
x[n] = ~
x[n + rN]
The Fourier series representation can be written as
1 ~
~
x[n] = X[k ]e j(2 / N)kn
N k
The Fourier series representation of continuous-time periodic
signals require infinite many complex exponentials
Not that for discrete-time periodic signals we have

e j(2 / N)(k + mN )n = e j(2 / N)kne j(2mn ) = e j(2 / N)kn


Due to the periodicity of the complex exponential we only
need N exponentials for discrete time Fourier series

x[n] = X[k ]e j(2 / N)kn

The Fourier Transform of Periodic Signals


Periodic sequences are not absolute or square summable
Hence they dont have a Fourier Transform

We can represent them as sums of complex exponentials: DFS


We can combine DFS and Fourier transform
