    DFT vs. DTFT: Understanding the Difference

    Homework Statement I'm kind of confused between DFT and DTFT. Here is my understanding: Okay, so let's say we have time domain, continuous, analogue signal from a sensor - ##x(t) ## 1. We sample this signal, giving us something like the following with an impulse train Now this is a...

    DTFT vs the spectrum of a sampled signal

    Homework Statement Hi, So we started sampling/sampling theorem, dirac delta, DTFT in a digital signal processing module and I'm kinda confused. I understand how to derive the following formulae but these two formulae are so different to each other that I don't understand why? We are first...

    Understanding the discrete time Fourier transformation

    Let's consider a signal which is continuous in both time and amplitude. Now we consider the amplitude of this signal at specific time instants only. This is my understanding of sampling a signal in time domain. When performing a Fourier transform on a time discrete signal, we have to apply the...

    Understanding the Variables of the FT and DTFT: Intuition and Differences

    Could someone explain the intuition behind the variables of the FT and DTFT? Do I understand it correctly ? For FT being X(f), I understand that f is a possible argument the frequency, as in number of cycles per second. FT can be alternatively parameterized by \omega = 2 \pi f which...

    Calculating the DTFT of 1: Challenges and Solutions

    Hello. I'm stuck on calculating DTFT of 1. DTFT formula is: so dtft of 1 is: 1) in case of w=1, sum becomes: doesn't it diverge? 2) in case of w no 1, how the hell should that sum be calculated? thanks

    Types of Convergence of the DTFT & Relation to Summability of x[n]

    Given a discrete time signal x[n] that has a DTFT (which exists in the mean square convergence or in the uniform convergence sense), how can we tell if the signal x[n] converges absolutely? I know the following: x[n] is absolutely summable <=> X(e^{j \omega}) converges uniformly (i.e...
