Hello, This is my Homework 7 Contribution.

I am having some trouble still with the process of doing Fourier Transforms so I thought it would be a good idea to do some examples of how to do a Fourier Transform to help clarify the process.


Example 1


Lets take a simple example to start.


Lets let : $ x[n] = a^nu[n], |a| < 1\, $


Converting to $ X(e^{j\omega})\, $ notation we get


$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = -\infty} a^n u[n] e^{-j\omega n}\, $

Simplifying we get...

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0} (ae^{-j\omega})^n\, $

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \frac{1}{1-a e^{-j\omega}}\, $

This gives up a magnitude and phase graphs. Something noteworthy is that this function is periodic with an $ {\omega} = 2\pi\, $



Example 2


Let's try something a little more challenging.....


Lets let : $ x[n] = (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}u[n-1]\, $

Using the Fourier Transform Equation:

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = -\infty} u[n] e^{-j\omega n}\, $

Transforming our equation into the Fourier Transform Equation we get

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 1} (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}e^{-j\omega n}\, $

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0} (\frac{1}{2})^{n}e^{-j\omega (n+1)}\, $

$ X(e^{j\omega}) = e^{-j\omega}(\frac{1}{1-(\frac{1}{2})e^{-j\omega}})\, $


Example 3


Let's try to get the inverse Fourier Transform in this next one.....

Suppose $ X_1(e^{-j\omega}) = \sum^{\infty}_{k = -\infty}[2\pi\delta(\omega-2\pi k) + \pi\delta(\omega - (\frac{\pi}{2}) - 2\pi k) + \pi\delta(\omega + (\frac{\pi}{2}) - 2\pi k)]\, $

Using the Fourier Transform Synthesis Equation:

$ x_1[n] = (\frac{1}{2\pi})\int^{\pi}_{-\pi} X_1(e^{-j\omega})e^{j\omega n}d\omega \, $

Transforming our equation into the Inverse Fourier Transform Synthesis Equation

$ x_1[n] = (\frac{1}{2\pi})\int^{\pi}_{-\pi} [2\pi\delta(\omega) + \pi\delta(\omega - (\frac{\pi}{2})) + \pi\delta(\omega + (\frac{\pi}{2}))]e^{-j\omega n}\, $

$ e^{j0} + (\frac{1}{2}e^{j(\frac{\pi}{2}n)}) + (\frac{1}{2}e^{-j(\frac{\pi}{2}n)}) \, $
