Discrete Fourier Transform Pairs and Properties (info)
Definition Discrete Fourier Transform and its Inverse
Let x[n] be a periodic DT signal, with period N.
N-point Discrete Fourier Transform $ X [k] = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]e^{-j 2\pi \frac{k n}{N}} \, $
Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform $ \,x [n] = (1/N) \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} X[k] e^{j 2\pi\frac{kn}{N}} \, $

Duality $ X[n] \ $ $ NX[((-k))_N] \ $
Multiplication $ x[n]y[n] \ $ $ \frac{1}{N} X[k]\circledast Y[k], \ \circledast \text{ denotes the circular convolution} $
