DFT
•A periodic sequence may be decomposed into component sequences that
comprise a harmonic series of complex exponentials. Since a sampled
sequence is bandlimited, it follows that the frequency of the highest
harmonic is limited to the Nyquist rate. The normalized frequencies of the
harmonics are 2piK/N.
•The DFT (a computable transform) operates on discrete, or sampled signals,
and evaluates frequency response at a number (equal to about half the
sequence length) of unique frequencies.
DFT introduction
• It is a reversible frequency transform that evaluates
the spectrum of a finite sequence at a finite number
of frequencies.
• for such applications as audio and video
compression algorithms, etc., relies on computable
transforms.
• There are other numerically computable frequency
transforms, such as (DCT), (MDCT), (DST), (DHT), but
the DFT is the most often used frequency transform.
