Fourier transform of any complex valued f 2l2r, and that the fourier transform is unitary on this space. Continuous time fourier transform ctft purdue engineering. A tables of fourier series and transform properties. In contrast to this, a discretetime signal section 1. Secondly, a discretetime signal could arise from sampling a continuoustime signal at a discrete sequence of times. This is a good point to illustrate a property of transform pairs. We now have a single framework, the fourier transform, that incorporates both periodic and aperiodic signals. This idea of extending the period which results in this change is our segway into the concept of fourier transform.

While this course focuses on digital image and video, we need to be aware of the generalization of continuoustime fourier transforms to two and higher dimensions. The fourier transform for continuous signals is divided into two categories, one for signals that are periodic, and one for signals that are aperiodic.
