DFT ( Discrete Fourier Transform )

The DFT is a finite sum, so it can be computed using a computer. Used for discrete, time-limited signals, or discrete periodic signals.


Definition

DFT

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

Inverse DFT (IDFT)

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