Practice Problem

Compute the discrete Fourier transform of the discrete-time signal

$ x[n]= e^{-j \frac{1}{5} \pi n} $.

How does your answer related to the Fourier series coefficients of x[n]?

Answer 1

$ x[n]= e^{-j \frac{1}{5} \pi n}=cos(\frac{\pi n}{5})+jsin(\frac{\pi n}{5}) $.

period=10, therefor, by comparing with$ x[n]=e^{-j2\pi k_0 n/N} $.

we get $ N=10 $,$ k_0=1 $.

From DFT transfer pair, $ X[k]=10\delta[k-1] $. repeated with period 10.

Instructor's comment: Why do you need to write the exponential as sine and cosine in order to find the period? Can you find the period directly from the exponential? -pm
