Fourier transform same as signal.

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying signals that have the property of being equal to their own Fourier transform. Participants explore examples and seek additional signals that meet this criterion, touching on both theoretical and practical aspects.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents examples of signals that are their own Fourier transforms, including a Gaussian function and a series of delta functions.
  • Another participant suggests that a Gaussian pulse could also be a candidate for this property.
  • A later reply asks for clarification on the application of this property, indicating interest in the practical implications of the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on additional signals that satisfy the property, and multiple viewpoints regarding potential candidates remain open.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not specify the mathematical conditions or definitions that may be necessary for the signals to be considered as their own Fourier transforms.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to those studying signal processing, Fourier analysis, or related fields in mathematics and engineering.

Hi friends,

I was looking for signals which will have themselves as the Fourier transform. Few of them are given below.

[tex] \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}\longrightarrow e^{-\frac{\omega^2}{2}}[/tex]

[tex] \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t-kT)\longrightarrow \frac{2\pi}{T}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(\omega-\frac{2\pi n}{T})[/tex]

can you suggest any other signals which satisfy the property?

regards,
bhupala.

A pulse in the shape of a gaussian curve?
 
That is what I have given as the first example.
