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	$\,x [n] = (1/N) \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} X[k] e^{j 2\pi\frac{kn}{N}} \,$


$x[n] \ \text{ (period } N)$	$\longrightarrow$	$X_N[k] \ \ (N \text{ point DFT)}$
$\ \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \delta[n+Nk] = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1, & \text{ if } n=0, \pm N, \pm 2N , \ldots\\ 0, & \text{ else.} \end{array}\right.$		$\ 1 \text{ (period } N)$
$\ 1 \text{ (period } N)$		$\ N\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \delta[k+Nm] = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} N, & \text{ if } n=0, \pm N, \pm 2N , \ldots\\ 0, & \text{ else.} \end{array}\right.$
$\ e^{j2\pi k_0 n}$		$\ N\delta[((k - k_0))_N]$
$\ \cos(\frac{2\pi}{N}k_0n)$		$\ \frac{N}{2}(\delta[((k - k_0))_N] + \delta[((k+k_0))_N])$
