Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the relationship between discrete time signals \( x(n) \) and their Discrete Fourier Transform \( X(f) \) under the assumption of a linear relation where \( f = kn \). Participants explore the implications of this relationship, particularly focusing on the example where \( x(n) = c \cdot n \). While some argue that there is no inherent relation between time and frequency, others clarify that within a specific system, a linear relationship can be assumed. This leads to a deeper understanding of how time-domain signals can be transformed into frequency-domain representations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of context in interpreting the relationship between time and frequency in signal processing.

Suppose that there is a linear relation between discrete time (n) and frequency (f), then what is the relatian between x(n) and X(f) (X(f) is DFT transform of x(n))?

Hi maysam! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

I guess we'll need to find the DFT transform of $x(n)=c\cdot n$ where $c$ is some constant.
Can you calculate it?
What is the formula for a DFT?

Hi, x(n) can be any signal.

Hmm... can you clarify what a "linear relation between discrete time (n) and frequency (f)" means?

Presumably we have a signal amplitude $x(n) = x(t_n)$ that depends on time, which transforms to a signal amplitude $X(f) = X(f_k)$ that depends on frequency.
There is no relation between time and frequency.

Yes, originally There is no relation between time and frequency but In a system we can assume that f=kn and k is a constant. this means that in this system we can see a linear relation between time and frequency.
