Chapter 17

The document discusses the Fourier transform which provides a frequency-domain description of an aperiodic time-domain function. It outlines three approaches to finding the Fourier transform depending on the nature of the time-domain signal. The document also discusses some mathematical properties and operational transforms of the Fourier transform as well as its applications in circuits.

17.1 The Derivation of the
Fourier Transform

Depending on the nature of the time-


domain signal, one of three approaches to
finding its Fourier transform may be used:

1) If the time-domain signal is a well-


behaved pulse of finite duration, the
integral that defines the Fourier transform
is used.

17.1 The Derivation of the
Fourier Transform

2) If the one-sided Laplace transform of f(t)


exists and all the poles of F(s) lies in the
left half of the s plane, F(s) may be used
to find F().

3) If f(t) is a constant, a signum function, a


step function, or a sinusoidal function,
the Fourier transform is found by using
a limit process.

17.6 Operational Transforms

The Fourier transform of a response


signal y(t) is

Y ( ) X ( ) H ( )
where X() is the Fourier transform of
the input signal x(t), and H() is the
transfer function H(s) evaluated at s = j.

17.7 Circuit Application

The Laplace transform is used more


widely to find the response of a circuit than
is the Fourier transform, for two reasons:

1) The Laplace transform integral


converges for a wider range of driving
functions.
2) The Laplace transform accommodates
initial conditions.

17.7 Circuit Application
Example: Using the Fourier Transform to Find
the Transient Response
Use the Fourier transform to find io (t) in the
circuit shown below.
The current source ig (t) is the signum function
20sgn(t) A.

17.8 Parsevals Theorem

Themagnitude of the Fourier transform


squared is a measure of the energy
density (joules per hertz) in the frequency
domain (Parsevals theorem).

TheFourier transform permits us to


associate a fraction of the total energy
contained in f(t) with a specified band of
frequencies.
