This chapter is a concise review of time-domain and transform-domain representations of single-rate discrete-time signals and systems. We consider first the time-domain representation of discrete-time signals and systems. The representation in transform domain comprises the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and the z-transform. The basic realization structures for FIR and IIR systems are briefly described. Finally, the relations between continuous and discrete signals are given.

A dual Gabor window pair has two functions that can reconstruct any function in [Formula: see text] using certain systems of their modulated and translated forms. Few explicit examples of dual Gabor window pairs are known. This paper constructs explicit examples with trigonometric form in one dimension as well as higher dimensions. Also, in the discrete time domain, the trigonometric form allows us to evaluate the Gabor coefficients efficiently using the Discrete Fourier Transform. The windows have fixed support and arbitrary smoothness.

This paper presents a parallel implementation of a kind of discrete Fourier transform (DFT): the vector-valued DFT. The vector-valued DFT is a novel tool to analyze the spectra of vector-valued discrete-time signals. This parallel implementation is developed in terms of a mathematical framework with a set of block matrix operations. These block matrix operations contribute to analysis, design, and implementation of parallel algorithms in multicore processors. In this work, an implementation and experimental investigation of the mathematical framework are performed using MATLAB with the Parallel Computing Toolbox. We found that there is advantage to use multicore processors and a parallel computing environment to minimize the high execution time. Additionally, speedup increases when the number of logical processors and length of the signal increase.

Four Fourier transforms are usually defined, the Integral Fourier transform, the Discrete-Time Fourier transform (DTFT), the Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and the Integral Fourier transform for periodic functions. However, starting from their definitions, we show that all four Fourier transforms can be reduced to actually only one Fourier transform, the Fourier transform in the distributional sense.

In previous studies we used Laurent Schwartz’ theory of distributions to rigorously introduce discretizations and periodizations on tempered distributions. These results are now used in this study to derive a validity statement for four interlinking formulas. They are variants of Poisson’s Summation Formula and connect four commonly defined Fourier transforms to one another, the integral Fourier transform, the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and the Integral Fourier transform for periodic functions—used to analyze Fourier series. We prove that under certain conditions, these four Fourier transforms become particular cases of the Fourier transform in the tempered distributions sense. We first derive four interlinking formulas from four definitions of the Fourier transform pure symbolically. Then, using our previous results, we specify three conditions for the validity of these formulas in the tempered distributions sense.

This chapter contains foundational material for modelling of signals and systems. Section 2.2 introduces classes of functions useful in signal processing and analysis. The Fourier transform, in Section 2.3, begins with the Fourier integral and develops the Fourier series, the discrete time Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform as special cases. The following material in this chapter can be skipped on a first reading. † denotes material relevant to multidimensional signals in Chapters 8 and 11. ‡ denotes material relevant to probability and stochastic processes in Chapter 4. ¶ denotes material used in continuous sampling in Chapter 10. There are a number of signal classes to which we will make common reference. Continuous time signals are denoted with their arguments in parentheses, e.g., x(t). Discrete time signals will be bracketed, e.g., x[n]. A continuous time signal, x(t), is periodic if there exists a T such that x(t) = x(t − T) for all t. The function x(t) = constant is periodic. A discrete time signal, x[n], is periodic if there exists a positive integer N such that x[n] = x[n − N] for all n. The function x[n] = constant is periodic.
