Abstract

We return to the FT of a bandlimited function as given by (5.9) in Sect. 5.1. Setting ωΔt = θ we have the FS

$$F\left (\omega \right ) = F({e}^{i\theta }) =\displaystyle\sum _{ n=-\infty }^{\infty }f[n]{e}^{-in\theta }$$
(6.1)

with the coefficients f[n] = f(nΔt)Δt computed in the usual way, viz.,

$$f[n] = \frac{1} {2\pi }\displaystyle\int _{-\pi }^{\pi }F({e}^{i\theta }){e}^{in\theta }d\theta .$$
(6.2)

Notes

  1. 1.

    This does not imply that the underlying system is not causal. The shift of initial conditions to negative time is just a convenient way to handle forward differences.

  2. 2.

    The subscript \(\left (+\right )\) identifies that it is based on forward differencing.

  3. 3.

    Here and in the entire discussion of difference equations we have increased the sequence length from that used with the DFT in Chap. 5 from N to N + 1. Consistency is easily restored by setting the Nth term to zero.
