Abstract

The Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), a member of the Fourier transform family, is often used to analyze samples of analog aperiodic signals. From discrete samples, DTFT produces a function of frequency that is a periodic summation of the continuous Fourier transform of the original analog signals. As we will see, DTFT is a continuous function of frequency, and a discrete version of it is the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), which will be discussed in detail in a later chapter.
