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]?
You will receive feedback from your instructor and TA directly on this page. Other students are welcome to comment/discuss/point out mistakes/ask questions too!
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
Answer 2
$ x[n]= e^{-j \frac{1}{5} \pi n} $.
$ period = 2*pi / (pi/5) = 10 $. Back to ECE438 Fall 2011 Prof. Boutin
