Fourier transform of
signals
Definition
• Fourier Transform of a signal g(t) is denoted by:
Transforms of Some
Useful Functions
Unit Rectangular Function
• A rectangular pulse of unit height and
unit width, centered at the origin
Fourier Transform
Properties
Time-Frequency Duality
• The only minor difference
between these two operations
lies in the opposite signs used
in their exponential functions
Proof it !
The time-scaling property states that time compression of a signal results in its spectral
expansion, and time expansion of the signal results in its spectral compression
compression in time by a factor “a” means that the signal is varying more rapidly by the
same factor
Course Introduction: 0-19
Time-Scaling Property
• Reciprocity of Signal Duration and Its Bandwidth
Then
Delaying a signal by t0 does not change its amplitude spectrum. The phase spectrum,
however, is changed by −2πft0.
Note: Phase shift is a linear function of “f” (higher frequency components must
undergo proportionately larger phase shifts to achieve the same time delay)
Course Introduction: 0-21
Time-Shifting Property
• the frequency of the lower
sinusoid being twice that of
the upper one
• The same time delay t0
amounts to a phase shift of
π/2 in the upper sinusoid
and a phase shift of π in the
lower sinusoid
• Check example 3.9 and 3.10

Frequency-Shifting Property
(Modulation Property)
• If
Then
Multiplication of a signal by a factor ej2πf0t shifts the spectrum of that signal by f = f0
• Frequency shifting in practice is achieved by multiplying g(t) with a sinusoid
sin 2πf0t is cos 2πf0t with a phase delay of π/2. Thus, shifting the carrier phase
by π/2 shifts the phase of every spectral component by π/2 Course Introduction: 0-27
