# m13 - Properties of the DTFT

Module by: C. Sidney Burrus. E-mail the author

Summary: The properties of the DTFT are very similar to those of the DFT and other Fourier transforms.

## Properties

The properties of the DTFT are similar to those for the DFT and are important in the analysis and interpretation of long signals. The main properties are given here using the notation that the DTFT of a complex sequence x ( n ) x ( n ) is { x ( n ) } = X ( ω ) { x ( n ) } = X ( ω ) .

1. Linear Operator: { x + y } = { x } + { y } { x + y } = { x } + { y }
2. Periodic Spectrum: X ( ω ) = X ( ω + 2 π ) X ( ω ) = X ( ω + 2 π )
3. Properties of Even and Odd Parts: x ( n ) = u ( n ) + j v ( n ) x ( n ) = u ( n ) + j v ( n ) and X ( ω ) = A ( ω ) + j B ( ω ) X ( ω ) = A ( ω ) + j B ( ω ) u u v v A A B B | X | | X | θ θ even 0 even 0 even 0 odd 0 0 odd even 0 0 even 0 even even π / 2 π / 2 0 odd odd 0 even π / 2 π / 2
4. Convolution: If non-cyclic or linear convolution is defined by: y ( n ) = h ( n ) * x ( n ) = m = h ( n m ) x ( m ) = k = h ( k ) x ( n k ) y ( n ) = h ( n ) * x ( n ) = m = h ( n m ) x ( m ) = k = h ( k ) x ( n k ) then { h ( n ) * x ( n ) } = { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) } { h ( n ) * x ( n ) } = { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) }
5. Multiplication: If cyclic convolution is defined by: Y ( ω ) = H ( ω ) X ( ω ) = 0 T H ˜ ( ω Ω ) X ˜ ( Ω ) Ω Y ( ω ) = H ( ω ) X ( ω ) = 0 T H ˜ ( ω Ω ) X ˜ ( Ω ) Ω { h ( n ) x ( n ) } = 1 2 π { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) } { h ( n ) x ( n ) } = 1 2 π { h ( n ) } { x ( n ) }
6. Parseval: n = | x ( n ) | 2 = 1 2 π π π | X ( ω ) | 2 ω n = | x ( n ) | 2 = 1 2 π π π | X ( ω ) | 2 ω
7. Shift: { x ( n M ) } = X ( ω ) e j ω M { x ( n M ) } = X ( ω ) e j ω M
8. Modulate: { x ( n ) e j ω 0 n } = X ( ω ω 0 ) { x ( n ) e j ω 0 n } = X ( ω ω 0 )
9. Sample: { x ( K n ) } = 1 K m = 0 K 1 X ( ω + L m ) { x ( K n ) } = 1 K m = 0 K 1 X ( ω + L m ) where N = L K N = L K
10. Stretch: { x s ( n ) } = X ( ω ) { x s ( n ) } = X ( ω ) , for K π ω K π K π ω K π where x s ( K n ) = x ( n ) x s ( K n ) = x ( n ) for integer n n and zero otherwise.
11. Orthogonality: n = e j ω 1 n e j ω 2 n = 2 π δ ( ω 1 ω 2 ) n = e j ω 1 n e j ω 2 n = 2 π δ ( ω 1 ω 2 )

### What is an EPUB file?

EPUB is an electronic book format that can be read on a variety of mobile devices.

My Favorites (?)

'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need an account to use 'My Favorites'.

| A lens I own (?)

#### Definition of a lens

##### Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

##### What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

##### Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

##### What are tags?

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
