Lecture 15 : The Fourier Transform

The Fourier Transform

Let's start with a simple example .Consider a following function, periodic with period T.

  

Clearly this is our familiar square wave . Let's see what happens to its Frequency domain representation as we let T to approach infinity . We know that the Fourier coefficients of the above function can be written as

     where
