The difference between DFT and DFS
In the literature, I've found that DFS and DFT are one and the same. If they are one and the same why to use two different names for them? If there is really a difference what is it and what is the ...

Is a Fourier transform a sound way to analyse a transient signal?
I am currently working on a project that involves analysing transient signals from sensors.
While not actually part of the analysis itself, I discussed it with the team, and they are using an fft to ...

About Discrete Fourier Transform vs. Discrete Fourier Series
I am new to the field of signal processing. I am wondering what is the difference between DFS(Fourier Series) vs. DFT(Fourier Transform).
For common applications, usually we get a segment(length <...

derivation of discrete Fourier Transform
I'm learning DSP on my own. Found a free online book. Currently reading a chapter on Discrete Fourier Transform. Right out of the gate I can't understand several things. I'm pretty good with math and ...

How is the DTFT of a periodic, sampled signal linked to the DFT?
I am trying to understand the connection between FT, DTFT and ultimately the DFT. But I am failing to link the DTFT to the DFT.
This is how far I am getting: Say I have a function $f(t)$, and its ...

Discrete Fourier Series - Time Index
I have been trying to understand Discrete Fourier Time Series (NOT Transform).
It is defined as
$$a_k = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]e^{jk\frac{2\pi}{N}n}$$
where N is the Time period and an integer (by ...

What is a periodic signal in image processing?
In the context of image processing (and computer vision), the concept of convolution comes up a lot. Convolution is quite related to the concept of Fourier transform and DFT. In the context of image ...

Circular vs Linear Convolution
When deriving DFT from DTFT,we sample the frequency domain with uniformly spaced samples,hence adding periodicity to time domain.
But DFT requires a limited support: we take only 1 period.
Does that ...

FFT of complex signal (I/Q), what do the bins N/2..N-1 represent?
I know it's a very basic question, but I've spent almost a full work day researching and still can't find a clear (or even just usable) answer. For the DFT of a real-valued signal the second half of ...
