  1. Fourier series, Discrete Time Fourier Transform and Characteristic functions

  2. Fourier series Fourier proposed in 1807 A periodic waveform f(t) could be broken down into an infinite series of simple sinusoids which, when added together, would construct the exact formof the original waveform. Consider the periodic function T = Period, the smallest value of T that satisfies the above equation.

  3. Fourier series: conditions To be described by the Fourier Series the waveform f(t) must satisfy the following mathematical properties: • 1. f(t) is a single-value function except at possibly a finite number of points. • 2. The integral for any t0. • 3. f(t) has a finite number of discontinuities within the period T. • 4. f(t) has a finite number of maxima and minima within the period T.

  4. Fourier series: synthesis f(t) t T 2T 3T T is a period of all the above signals Odd Part Even Part DC Part Let ω0=2π/T.

  5. Fourier series: definition A Fourier Seriesis an accurate representation of a periodic signal (when N ∞) and consists of the sum of sinusoids at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies. The waveform f(t) depends on theamplitudeand phaseof every harmonic components, and we can generate any non-sinusoidal waveform by an appropriate combination of sinusoidal functions.

  30. 0 Discrete-time Fourier transform f(t) • Until this moment we were talking continuous periodic functions. • However, probability mass function is a discrete aperiodic function. • One method to find the bridge is to start with a spectral representation for periodic discrete function and let the period become infinitely long. continuous t T 2T 3T discrete

  31. Discrete-time Fourier transform • We will take a shorter but less direct approach. Recall Fourier series A spectral representation for the continuous periodic function f(t) Consider now, a spectral representation for the sequence cn, -∞ < n < ∞ • We are effectively interchanging the time and frequency domains. • We want to express an arbitrary function f(t) in terms of complex exponents.

  32. Discrete-time Fourier transform • To obtain this, we make the following substitutions in This is the inverse transform continuous discrete

  33. Discrete-time Fourier transform To obtain the forward transform, we make the same substitution in

  34. Discrete-time Fourier transform • Putting everything together • Sufficient conditions of existence

  35. Properties of the Discrete-time Fourier Transform Homework: Prove it Initial value

  36. Characteristic functions • Determining the moments E[Xn] of a RV can be difficult. • An alternative method that can be easier is based on characteristic functionϕX(ω). • There are particularly simple results for the characteristic functions of distributions defined by the weighted sums of random variables.

  37. Characteristic functions • The function g(X) = exp(jωX) is complex but by defining E[g(X)] = E[cos(ωX) + jsin(ωX)] = E[cos(ωX)] + jE[jsin(ωX)], we can apply formula for transform RV and obtain for those integers not included in SX.

  38. Characteristic functions • The definition is slightly different than the usual Fourier transform(the discrete time Fourier transform), which uses the function exp(-jωk) in its definition. • As a Fourier transform it has all the usual properties. • The Fourier transform of a sequence is periodic with period of 2π.

  39. Finding moments using CF To find moments, let’s differentiate the sum “term by term” Carrying out the differentiation So that Repeated differentiation produces the formula for the nth moment as

  40. Moments of geometric RV: example Since the PMF for a geometric RV is given by pX[k] = (1 - p)k-1pfor k = 1,2,…, we have that but since |(1-p) exp(jω)| < 1, we can use the result For z a complex number with |z| < 1 to yield the CF Note that CF is periodic with period 2π.

  41. Moments of geometric RV: example • Let’s find the mean(first moment) using CF. • Let’s find the second moment using CF and then variance. Where D = exp(-jω) - (1-p). Since D|ω=0 = p,we have that

  42. Expected value of binomial PMF • By finding second moment we can find variance a b Binomial theorem

  43. Properties of characteristic functions • Property 1. CF always exists since • Proof • Property 2. CF is periodic with period 2π. • Proof: For m an integer since exp(j2πmk) = 1 for mk an integer.

  44. Properties of characteristic functions • Property3. The PMF may be recovered from the CF. • Given the CF, we may determine the PMF using • Proof: Since the CF is the Fourier transform of a sequence (although its definition uses a +j instead of the usual -j), it has an inverse Fourier transform. Although any interval of length 2π may be used to perform the integration in the inverse Fourier transform, it is customary to use [-π, π]. Fourier transform

  45. Properties of characteristic functions • Property 4. Convergence of characteristic functions guarantees convergence of PMFs (Continuity theorem of probability). • If we have a sequence of CFs φnX(ω) converge to a given CF, say φX(ω), then the corresponding sequence of PMF, say pnX[k], must converge to a given PMF say pX[k]. • The theorem allows us to approximate PMFs by simpler ones if we can show that the CFs are approximately equal.

  46. Application example of property 4 • Recall the approximation of the binomial PMF by Poisson PMF under the conditions that p 0 and M  ∞ with Mp = λ fixed. • To show this using the CF approach we let Xb denote a binomial RV. And replacing p by λ/M we have as M ∞.

  47. Application example of property 4 • For Poisson RV XP we have that Since φXb(ω)  φXp(ω) as M ∞, by property 4 we must have that pXb[k]  pXp[k] for all k. Thus, under the stated conditions the binomial PMF becomes the Possion PMF as M  ∞.

  48. Practice problems 1. Prove that the transformed RV has an expected value of 0 and a variance of 1. 2. If Y = aX+ b, what is the variance of Y in terms of the variance of X? 3. Find the characteristic function for the PMF pX[k] = 1/5, for k = -2,-1,0,1,2. 4. A central moment of a discrete RV is defined as E[(X – E[X])n] , for n positive integer. Derive a formula that relates the central moment to the usual (raw) moments. 5. Determine the variance of a binomial RV by using the properties of the CF. Assume knowledge of CF for binomial RV.

  49. Homework 1. Apply Fourier series to the following functions on (0; 2π) a. b. c. 2. Find the second moment for a Poisson random variable by using the characteristic function exp⁡[λ(exp(jω)-1)]. 3. A symmetric PMF satisfies the relationship pX[­-k] = pX[k] for k = …,-1,0,1,…. Prove that all the odd order moments, E[Xn] for n odd, are zero.
