You don't have to be around signal processing very long before you realize
that Fourier methods play a huge role in the field. Several very good reasons
for the prominence of Fourier methods in signal processing. They offer
substantial intuition, naturally follow from the way the physical world interacts
with signals, and are amazingly useful for computation.
There are multiple Fourier methods that are used in signal processing.
The most common are :
i. The Fourier transform
ii. The discrete-time Fourier transform,
iii. The discrete Fourier transform and
iv. The short-time Fourier transform.
Reason for using Fourier methods
The Fourier transform describes signals as weighted combinations of continuous-time complex-valued sinusoids, while
the discrete-time Fourier transform, the discrete Fourier transform, and the short-time Fourier transform all employ
discrete-time complex sinusoids. The vast utility of Fourier methods in signal processing - beyond intuition - is due to
several powerful properties of complex sinusoids.
Differentiation of a continuous-time sinusoid results in a continuous-time sinusoid of the identical frequency. Only the
amplitude and phase of the sinusoid are changed. Hence, differentiation of a sum of sinusoids of different
frequencies results in a sum of sinusoids of the same frequencies. Only the amplitudes and phases of the sinusoids in
the sum are changed. This property is important because of the significance of differentiation in the physical world.
Electrical elements like capacitors and inductors relate voltages and currents through differentiation. Mechanical
systems involving springs, masses, and dampers use differential equations to describe positions, velocities, and
accelerations. Phenomena like heat, sound, electromagnetic waves, fluid flow, and elasticity are described with
partial differential equations.
Time delay in computer-based signal processing plays an analogous role to differentiation in the physical
world. Many signal-processing operations involve weighted combinations of delayed signals. It turns out that delay
of a discrete-time complex sinusoid results in a discrete-time sinusoid of the identical frequency. Only the amplitude
and phase are changed. Similarly, a delay of a sum of sinusoids of different frequencies results in a sum of sinusoids
of the same frequencies. Only the amplitudes and phases of the sinusoids in the sum are changed.
Fourier Methods and Signal-System
Interactions
Linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems are widely used to model effects in the
physical world and are also widely used to manipulate signals in signal
processing. A continuous-time LTI system is described as a weighted sum of
derivatives of the signals.
A discrete-time LTI system is described as a weighted sum of delayed
signals. Hence, due to the differentiation and time delay properties, the
output of an LTI system in response to a complex sinusoid input is a complex
sinusoid of the same frequency. Only the amplitude and phase are changed.
This is the so-called "eigenfunction" property. It follows that an input expressed
as an arbitrary sum of complex sinusoids of different frequencies produces an
output given by a sum of complex sinusoids of the same frequencies.
The system only modifies the amplitude and phase of the individual sinusoids in
the sum. The manner in which the system modifies the amplitudes and phase
of the input sinusoids is called the frequency response of the system.
Frequency response is a very intuitive description for the
action of an LTI system on a signal. The magnitude of the
frequency response tells us how the amplitudes of the input
sinusoidal components are changed by the system. This
gives rise to the idea of using systems to "filter" signals.
A filter separates out certain frequency components of the
input signal. The figure at left illustrates the magnitude of the
frequency response (in dB) for a low-pass filter.
Lower frequency sinusoids in the input signal see a gain of 0
dB or unity and are not attenuated. Higher frequency
sinusoids experience gain less than -60 dB, that is, are
multiplied by a factor of 10−310−3 or smaller, and are
effectively eliminated from the input signal.
Fourier methods are natural tools for understanding and
modeling the effects of the physical world on signals, and for
designing and characterizing common signal processing
systems.
