Question

Compute the discrete-space Fourier transform of the following signal:

$ f[m,n]= \left( u[n]-u[n-3] \right) \left( u[m+1]-u[m-2] \right) $

Answer 1

$ \begin{align} F [u,v] &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} f[m,n]e^{-j(mu + nv)}\\ &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( u[n]-u[n-3] \right) \left( u[m+1]-u[m-2] \right)e^{-j(mu + nv)}\\ &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( u[m+1]-u[m-2] \right) e^{-j(mu)} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( u[n]-u[n-3] \right)e^{-j(nv)}\\ &= (e^{jmu} + 1 + e^{-jmu})\cdot(1 + e^{-jnv} + e^{-2jnv})\\ \end{align} $

Instructor's comment: This approach is correct, but it may not be obvious to other students reading the solution how you obtain the last expression from the previous line. Can somebody else clarify? -pm

$ \begin{align} F [u,v] &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( u[m+1]-u[m-2] \right) e^{-j(mu)} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( u[n]-u[n-3] \right)e^{-j(nv)}\\ &= \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( \delta[n+1] + delta[n] + delta[n-1] \right) e^{-j(mu)} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left( \delta[n] + delta[n-1] + delta[n-2] \right)e^{-j(nv)}\\ &_{by. looking. up. in. table. or. compute. shifted. delta. function's. DFT, on. can. get}\\ &= (e^{jmu} + 1 + e^{-jmu})\cdot(1 + e^{-jnv} + e^{-2jnv})\\ \end{align} $
