Hello All,
I am little confused with the Fourier family of transforms. I would really appreciate it if someone could have a look at them
My understanding is as follows:
Fourier Series: Only used for Peiodic continuous signals.
Fourier Transform: Can be used for periodic or aperiodic signals, I think. This transform to me seems
to look the same as the Fourier Series its just more compact as it uses Eulers formulae and embeds the average
into the 1 summation (n=0). If signal is aperiodic then is is just assummed to be periodic.
Discrete Fourier Transform: Always finite as data is bieng sampled.
In some of the books I am reading there are 4 versions in teh Fourier family, I don't quite know why.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help in advance.
