&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time (time scaling) by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; seconds.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty h(t) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending it out a D/A converter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take an expensive low-pass filter, as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The coefficients that are sent out to the D/A converter are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	h_m = { T } \int_{T} H(f)e^{j2 \pi m f T}\,df&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)=\sum_{m=-M}^{M}h(mT)e^{-j 2 \pi f m T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example: Design a FIR low-pass filter to pass between &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; -\frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt; f &amp;lt; \frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and reject the rest.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our desired response is: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_{hat} = 1 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, if |f| is less then or equal to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_{hat} = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; otherwise.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(mT) = T \int_{} . . . &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time (time scaling) by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; seconds.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty h(t) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending it out a D/A converter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take an expensive low-pass filter, as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The coefficients that are sent out to the D/A converter are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	h_m = { T } \int_{T} H(f)e^{j2 \pi m f T}\,df&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)=\sum_{m=-M}^{M}h(mT)e^{-j 2 \pi f m T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example: Design a FIR low-pass filter to pass between &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; -\frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt; f &amp;lt; \frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and reject the rest.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our desired response is: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_{hat} = 1 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, if |f| is less then or equal to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{4T} &amp;lt;\math&amp;gt;  or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_{hat} = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; otherwise.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(mT) = T \int_{ . . . &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time (time scaling) by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; seconds.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty h(t) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending it out a D/A converter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take an expensive low-pass filter, as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time (time scaling) by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; seconds.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty h(t) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time (time scaling) by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expransions of non-periodic functions.  We can accomplish this by taking the limit of x(t).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s substitute in x(t) for k/T substitute f, for 1/T substitute df, and for the summation substitute the integral.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{T \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of cosine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2 |\alpha_n| cos(\frac{2 \pi n t}{T} + \omega_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \omega_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is an angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This is because  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H_f &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} H_f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with respect to u and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex Fourier Series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusions into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_boundary_condition Dirichlet conditions] are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DFT allows us to take a sample of some signal that is not periodic with time and take the Fourier series of it. There is the DFT and the Inverse DFT listed below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(m) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{-j 2 \pi m n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IDFT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n) e^{\frac{j 2 \pi k n}{N}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the DFT all the negative frequency components are just the complex conjugate of the positive frequency components.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One problem with the DFT is that if the sample taken does not begin and end at zero, (or the same point) then we get what is called leakage.  Because the DFT is discrete, if the end of the sample is not at the same place it began then it will make a jump back to the point that it began (leakage).  This is because the DFT repeats the recorded section of signal over and over.  It is this periodic manner of the DFT that allows us to reproduce a discrete signal that is not periodic.  The DFT and IDFT are periodic with period N.  This can be easily proved by simplifying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(n+N) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How might one find an unknown transfer function?  Lets use the example of the tuner upper.  The idea here is that we want to remove a sine wave from the signal and leave the original signal(voice) in place.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) + \triangle h_n(m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: From the Circular Convolution we get: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(n) = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}h(m)x(n-m)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptive FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Adaptive.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in the above diagram, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e(n)=y(n)-r(n) = [\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The goal of an adaptive FIR filter is to drive the error, e(n), to zero.  If we consider that this is a two coefficient filter and we have a contour plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^2(n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we want to travel in the direction of the negative gradient to minimize the error.  Let us say that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mu &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the stepping size.  So...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \triangle h_n(m) = - \frac{\partial (e^2(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} \mu = - \mu 2 e(n)\frac{\partial (e(n))}{\partial h_n(m)} = - 2 \mu e(n) x(n-m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; look like? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h_{n+1}(m)= h_n(m) - 2 \mu (y(n)-r(n)) x(n-m) = h_n(m) - 2 \mu ([\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} h_n(k) x(n-k)] - r(n)) x(n-m)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and then to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured by a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter.  The reason you want a low-pass filter is to keep high frequencies (that you don&#039;t intend to record) from being recorded.  If a high frequency was recorded at say 30 KHz and the maximum frequency you intended to record was 20KHz, then when you played back the recording you would here a tone at 10KHz.  From the filter the signal goes onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals (as just described) is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsasample.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put it in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now change a function from the frequency domain to the time domain or vise versa.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Welcome to Gabriela&#039;s Wiki page ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you want to know how to contact me or find out some interesting&lt;br /&gt;
things about me?&lt;br /&gt;

==Signals &amp;amp; Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Example====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find the first two orthonormal polynomials on the interval [-1,1]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. What is orthonormal?&lt;br /&gt;
[http://cubex.wwc.edu/~frohro/wiki/index.php/Orthogonal_functions#Normalization]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. What is orthogonal?&lt;br /&gt;
[http://cubex.wwc.edu/~frohro/wiki/index.php/Orthogonal_functions#Orthogonality_for_functions]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. What is a polynomial?&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polynomial&amp;amp;redirect=no]&lt;br /&gt;
         &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold a &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
         &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold bt+c &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Now we can find the values for the unknown variables.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a|a&amp;gt;= \int_{-1}^1 a a dt =1 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold a = \sqrt{\frac {1}{2}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;bt+c|a&amp;gt;= \int_{-1}^1 a (bt+c) dt =0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold c=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;bt+c|bt+c&amp;gt;= \int_{-1}^1 (bt+c)^2 dt=1 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold b= \sqrt (\frac {3}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Now that we know what the first two orthonormal polynomials!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As previously discussed, &#039;&#039;Fourier series&#039;&#039; is an expansion of a periodic function therefore we can not use it to transform a non-periodic funciton from time to the frequency domain. Fortunately the &#039;&#039;Fourier&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;transform&#039;&#039; allows for the transformation to be done on a non-periodic function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to understand the relationship between a non-periodic function and it&#039;s counterpart we must go back to &#039;&#039;Fourier series&#039;&#039;. Remember the  complex exponential signal?&lt;br /&gt;
[http://cubex.wwc.edu/~frohro/wiki/index.php/Fourier_series#Periodic_Functions]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)=x(t+T)=\sum_{k= -\infty}^ \infty \alpha_k e^ \frac{j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold \alpha_k={1/T}\int_{-{T\over 2}}^{{T\over 2}} x(u) e^{-j2\pi ku\over T}du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we let &lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\bold {T\to\infty}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The summation becomes integration, the harmoinic frequency becomes a continuous frequency, and the incremental spacing becomes a differential separation. &lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty\to\int_{-\infty}^\infty&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; {{k\over T}\to f}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; {1/T}\to df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The result is&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{T\to\infty}=\int_{-\infty}^\infty  {\left[\int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)e^{-j2\pi fu}du\right]}  e^{j2\pi ft}df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term in the brackets is the &#039;&#039;Fourier transfrom&#039;&#039; of &#039;&#039;x(t)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\mathcal{F}[x(t)]=X(f)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inverse &#039;&#039;Fourier transform&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=\mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How a CD Player Works==&lt;br /&gt;
The first step on how a CD player works is that it reads &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \ x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the CD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The data then goes through the Digital to Analog Converter and it is convolved with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[http://www.wwc.edu/%7Efrohro/ClassNotes/ENGR455/2005/Keystone/index.php?image=20051021KeyPA210080.jpg&amp;amp;originalimage=true&amp;amp;d=d.html]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The result is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \ x(nt) \ p(t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/ClassNotes/ENGR455/2005/Keystone/20051021KeyPA210081.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see in the Frequency domain the final result does not appear to look like the original signal. Therefore we pass  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; P(f)\cdot \frac{1} {T}\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{m} {T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; through a low pass filter to knock out the high frequencies and then it will be outputted through the speaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2x Oversampling==&lt;br /&gt;
The benefit of using oversampling is that this allows for more samples to be taken so you have an accurate digital signal which means better sound.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k= -\infty}^ \infty \ x(nT) \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[http://www.wwc.edu/%7Efrohro/ClassNotes/ENGR455/2005/Keystone/thumb/80020051026KeyPA260093.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
:but we want &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{l=-\infty}^\infty (\sum_{m=-M}^M \ x (\frac {(l-m)T}{2}) h(\frac{mT}{2}))\delta(t-\frac{lT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;[[http://www.wwc.edu/%7Efrohro/ClassNotes/ENGR455/2005/Keystone/thumb/80020051026KeyPA260095.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
In order to get that we need to convolve it with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m= -M}^ M  h(\frac {mT}{2}) \delta (t-\frac {mT}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
now we convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{l=-\infty}^\infty (\sum_{m=-M}^M \ x (\frac {(l-m)T}{2}) h(\frac{mT}{2}))\delta(t-\frac{lT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(2t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to then get &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{l=-\infty}^{\infty} y(\frac{lT}{2})p(2(t-\frac{lT}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and in the frequency domain it is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{2} P(\frac{f}{2})\sum_{l=-\infty}^{\infty} y(\frac{lT}{2})e^{-js\pi f l T/2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[http://www.wwc.edu/%7Efrohro/ClassNotes/ENGR455/2005/Keystone/thumb/80020051028KeyPA280111.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Now you only have to pass it through a low pass filter and you will have the original signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filter ==&lt;br /&gt;
FIR stands for finite impulse response and it is one of two digital signal filters used.&lt;br /&gt;
The FIR has no feedback so eventually it will have new data and the old one will be thrown away.&lt;br /&gt;
How the FIR works is that it convolves the data &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \ x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
with&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)=\sum_{m=-M}^M h(mT/2) \delta(t-mT/2) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:the result is &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty {\left[ \sum_{m=-M}^M x(nT) h(mT/2)\right]}\delta(t-nT-mT/2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:and if we let l/2 = n + m/2&lt;br /&gt;
the term in the brackets will be y(lT/2)&lt;br /&gt;
and the new result is&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{l=-\infty}^\infty y(lT/2)\delta(t-lT/2)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==How a CD player works==&lt;br /&gt;
So, what is actually happening when you put a CD into your CD player? The disk spins and music comes out, but how exactly does that work? The answer is that it works by combining the properties of sampling and Fourier Transforms to change the data on the CD into the music coming out of the CD player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nyquist Theorem===&lt;br /&gt;
The problem with a computer is that when it records the music, it actually is only sampling the wave over and over again, and then it stores those samples instead of the actual wave itself. The samples are usually expressed as a series of delta functions multiplied by their respective coefficients: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT) \delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;However, from these samples it is possible to recreate the original wave if the sampling rate is greater than or equal to twice the frequency of the maximum frequency of the wave being sampled. So,&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T \ge 2f_{max}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;This is called the Nyquist Theorem, and it allows us to select the sampling rate we need in order to recreate the music.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sampling===&lt;br /&gt;
Because a computer must use sampling in order to store music, it is necessary to have ways of turning the sampled data back into music. When we sample in time, it changes the characteristics of the frequency domain. This changes the music, so we need to figure out how to undo those changes and bring back the original music so that it will sound good to listen to. The change the occurs is called replication and it means that when we sample in time, the original frequency response is repeated every 1/T Hz, which means that you are adding in a whole bunch of high frequency responses that shouldn&#039;t be there. How do we fix this? Well, one method is to send the output (a series of impulse functions corresponding to the sampled values) through a perfect brickwall (basically brickwall means perfect) low pass filter that will take out all of the high frequency components and just leave the original sound wave. This would be nice, but it doesn&#039;t exactly work that way, since it isn&#039;t humanly possible to create a perfect brickwall filter. So, instead we use other methods to create the output we are looking for, starting with the Digital to Analog converter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===D/A converter===&lt;br /&gt;
A Digital to Analog converter doesn&#039;t send out impulse functions, instead it sends out a function that will step along with the height of the steps being the height of the impulse functions, basically convolving the impulse functions with a pulse of period T and amplitude 1. This changes things a bit. Because the impulse functions are being convolved with the pulse, their fourier transferms are being multiplied. The fourier transform of the pulse, when multiplied by the fourier transform of the impulse functions, changes the output in two ways. It smushes the response that we want, the low frequency components of the wave, but it also cuts out a big portion of the high frequency components we don&#039;t want since the fourier transform of the pulse is zero in the middle of the higher frequency responses, thereby making them much much smaller and less significant. This is very good because we can correct for the smushing of the response we want by changing our low pass filter, and we don&#039;t have to worry as much about the stuff we don&#039;t want, since it is mostly removed by the pulse function. The shape of the low pass filter is determined by the shape of the fourier transform of the pulse function. Then, after the signal passes through the low pass filter, it comes out of the speaker as music!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Two times oversampling==&lt;br /&gt;
If you aren&#039;t satisfied by the pretty good method described above, then take a look at 2x oversampling. The biggest advantage given by 2x oversampling is that it completely knocks out the lowest replica of the frequency response that is created by sampling. This makes it much much easier to make a low pass filter that gives you an output that is the same, or at least very close to the same, as the original.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How it works===&lt;br /&gt;
It starts the same way, by sampling the incoming signal. But then, in order to get a nicer wave to work with, we convolve the sampled values with another series of impulse functions. This series of impulse functions has a fourier transform that does two things. It is zero in the area of the first replica on either side, and it is shaped so that the top is slightly dished to compensate for the affects of the pulse function later on. The formula for these delta functions is:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)=\sum_{m=-M}^M h\left (\frac{mT}{2}\right )\delta\left (t- \frac{mT}{2} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Note, the period between these impulse functions is T/2, which is where the 2x comes from in 2x oversampling.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, the frequency response of this is:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;H(f)=\mathcal{F}[\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty h\left (\frac{mT}{2}\right )\delta\left (t-\frac{mT}{2}\right )]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;=\sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty h\left (\frac{mT}{2}\right )e^{-j2\pi \frac{mT}{2}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to make &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h\left (\frac{mT}{2}\right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; be the shape you want so that the later affects of D/A conversion are compensated for. After this is done, it is exactly the same as before, you send the impulse functions to the D/A converter, and then from there to the low pass filter, and then out to the speakers to hear the music.&lt;br /&gt;

Oversampling does not have to be 2x oversampling, there is also 1x oversampling, 3x oversampling, etc. The only difference between those and this is the period between the impulse functions that you convolve your data with, for 2x oversampling it is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{T}{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and for Nx oversampling it is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{T}{N}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by in the frequency domain we just take the inverse fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(f) =  \frac{sin (\frac{\pi t}{T})}{\frac{\pi t}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f-\frac{n}{T})P(f) = X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This is hopefully close to what we started with for a signal.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:barnsaDA.jpg|Picture uploaded by Sam Barnes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 2 times oversampling:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In time, multiply: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nT)\delta(t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-M}^M h(m \frac{T}{2}) \delta (t-\frac{mT}{2})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  This profides points that are interpolated and makes our output sound better because it looks closer to the original wave.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In frequency, convolve: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty X(f- \frac{n}{T} ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=-M}^M h(\frac{mT}{2}) e ^\frac{-j2 \pi m f}{\frac{2}{T}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  The X(f) that you get is great because there is little distortion near the original frequency plot.  This means that you can use a cheaper low-pass filter then you would otherwise have been able to.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Nyquist Frequency==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are sampling at a frequency of 40 KHz, then the highest frequency that you can reproduce is 20 KHz. The nyquist frequency, would be 20 KHz, the highest frequency that can be reproduced for a given sampling rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FIR Filters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A finite impulse response filter (FIR filter) is a digital filter that is applied to data before sending to out a D/A filter.  This type of filter allows for compensation of the signal before is it destorted so that it will look as it was originally recorded.  Using an FIR filter also allows us to put a cheap low-pass filter on after the D/A converter because the signal has been compensated so it doesn&#039;t take as good a low-pass filter as it would without the FIR filter.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown in the below picture. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnitude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}} \delta (t) e^\frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt = \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now wer are ready to take the convolution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f)* \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (f-\frac{n}{T}) = \frac{1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty H(f-\frac{n}{T})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to output as sound any of the signals that we have we must run them through a D/A converter.  This is like convolving the below signal by a step function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t) = U(t+\frac{T}{2})- U(t-\frac{T}{2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This gives us &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum (nt)p(t-nT).  This is what the signal looks like as it is output through the D/A converter.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find out what we would multiply by &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT)] = \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

|&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Superposition (from above)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi n t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{n}{T}) t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n\delta(f-\frac{n}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, lets take the fourier transform of the fourier series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [\alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi f t}{T}] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n e^\frac{j 2 \pi f t}{T}  e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{|a|} = \frac{1}{|a|} X(\frac{f}{a})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By using the above transforms we can now look at something in the frequency domain or the time domain.  We are not limited to just one domain but can use both of them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [cos(2 \pi f_0 t) x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) cos(2 \pi f_0 t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{e^{j 2 \pi f_0 t} + e^{-j 2 \pi f_0 t}}{2} x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-j 2 \pi (f-f_0) t} dt + \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f+f_0) t} dt  = \frac{1}{2} X(f-f_0) +  \frac{1}{2} X(f+f_0)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if we multiplied our time by a constant in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;? We will substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u=at &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; du = adt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a \ne 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} [x(a t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(at) e^{-j 2 \pi f t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u) e^\frac{-j 2 \pi f u}{a} \frac{du}{\abs{a}} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, into the system?  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same (just time delayed).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear, the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may put into the system the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we would get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system?  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f t} h(t-u) du = -\int_{\infty}^{-\infty} e^{j 2 \pi f (t-v)} h(v) dv = e^{j 2 \pi f t} \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(v)e^{-j 2 \pi f v} dv&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==The Delta Function==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The delta function is defined as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m=n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta_{m,n} = 1 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Else if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta_{m,n} = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example: (The delta function is non-zero only when &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m = n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. So, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is non-zero only when &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m=n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  We may then conclude what is stated below.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta_{m,n}\alpha_m = \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. (What is the [[delta function]] below?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the interval of one period, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation. [[What is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta_{k,n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;

If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This result looks it could be a fourier series. We would like to get our result in terms of delta functions.  As shown below, the periodic delta functions could be represented as a fourier series with coefficients &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{T}{2}}  \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty   \delta (t-nT)  \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} \int_{\frac{-T}{2}}^{\frac{-T}{2}} \delta (t) \frac {j 2 \pi m t}{T} dt =  \frac {1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the only delta function within the integration limits is the delta function at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we can take out the summation and just leave one delta function.  Then, evaluating the integral at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; t=0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{1}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \frac {1}{T} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= \frac {1}{T} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  Recording signals is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all in a computer, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. This gives us a result that looks like: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; h(t)\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x(nt) \delta (t-nT)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; H(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F}[ \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) ] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta (t-nT) e^{j 2 \pi f t} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty e^{j 2 \pi f n T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So,&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_m e^ {j 2 \pi m t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can solve for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= 1/T \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  It is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:CDsystem.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Time Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s start with a signal &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, as shown below. In this signal there is an infinite amount of information.  Obviously, we can&#039;t hold it all, but we could take samples every &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Lets do that by multiplying &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Since the magnetude of our delta function is one, we get a series of delta functions that record the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at intervals of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;In Frequency Domain&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In the frequency domain we start with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  Now we are in frequency, so we must convolve instead of multiply like we did in the time domain.  We would have to convolve &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty  \delta (t-nT) = \mathcal{F} \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} e^ {-j 2 \pi f t} dt= 1/T \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \int_{-\infty}^\infty  e^ {-j 2 \pi (f-\frac{m}{T} t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
==CD Player==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a diagram of how the information on a CD player is read and processed.  As you can see the information on the CD is processed by the D/A converter and then sent through a low pass filter and on to the speaker.  If you were recording sound, the sound would be captured through a microphone. Then, it should be sent through a low pass filter and onto the A/D converter and then it is ready to be put on the CD.  It is essentially the reverse of the operation pictured below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;

Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a linear time invarient system, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Linear_System.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we put in an impulse response, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. What would happen if we put a time delayed impulse signal (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) into the system.  The output response would be a time delayed &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, or &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, because the system is time invarient. So, no matter when we put in our signal the response would come out the same.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we now multiplied our impulse by a coefficient?  Since our system is linear the proportionality property applies.  If we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system then we should get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(u)h(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the superposition property(because we have a linear system) we may take the integral of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u)\delta(t-u)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and we get out &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  What would we get if we put &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into our system.  We could find out by plugging &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(u) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the integral that we just found the output for above.  If we do a change of variables (&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; v = t-u, and dv = -du &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;) we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(u)h(t-u) du&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. By pulling &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; out of the integral and calling the remaining integral &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; B_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; we get &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; e^{j 2 \pi f t} B_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Fourier Series==&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t + T)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Dirichlet conditions are satisfied&lt;br /&gt;
then we can write&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a Linear time Invarient System, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The above equation is called the complex fourier series. Given &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, we may determine &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; by taking the [[inner product]] of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us assume a solution for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of the form &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Now we take the inner product of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_k&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;\alpha_k|x(t)&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}|\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k=n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  1 dt = T&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k \ne n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can simplify the above two conclusion into one equation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2}  e^ \frac {j 2 \pi (k-n) t}{T} dt = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty T \delta_{k,n} \alpha_k = T \alpha_n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may conclude&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(t) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Orthogonal Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The function &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_n(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y_m(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are orthogonal on &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a,b) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = 0   &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The set of functions are orthonormal if and only if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;y_n(t)|y_m(t)&amp;gt; = \int_{a}^{b} y_n^*(t)y_m(t) dt = \delta_{m,n}  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us say we have a Linear time Invarient System, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the input and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the output.  What outputs do we get as we put different inputs into this system?  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Series (indepth)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to take a closer look at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in the Fourier Series.  Hopefully this will provide a better understanding of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will seperate x(t) into three parts; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative, zero, and positive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \bold x(t) = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, by substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = -k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is negative and substituting &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n = k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; into the summation where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is positive we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_{-n} e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_0 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\alpha_n = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u) e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n^* = \alpha_{-n} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let us assume that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T} + \alpha_n^* e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recall that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; y + y^* = 2Re(y) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; [[Here is further clarification on this property]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, we may write:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \alpha_0 +\sum_{n=1}^\infty 2Re(\alpha_n e^ \frac {j 2 \pi n t}{T}) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fourier Transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourier transforms emerge because we want to be able to make Fourier expressions of non-periodic functions.  We can take the limit of those non-periodic functions to get a fourier expression for the function.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember that:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x(t)=x(t+T)= \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_k e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty 1/T \int_{-\frac{T}{2}}^\frac{T}{2} x(u)e^ \frac {-j 2 \pi k u }{T} du e^ \frac {j 2 \pi k t}{T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \lim_{x \to \infty}x(t)= \int_{-\infty}^\infty (\int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(u) e^{-j 2 \pi f u} du) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the above limit we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[X(f)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[x(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  x(t) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can take the derivitive of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and then put in terms of the reverse fourier transform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{dx}{dt} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty  j 2 \pi f X(f) e^ {j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[j 2 \pi f X(f)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if we just shift the time of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t-t_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f(t-t_0)} df = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[e^{-j 2 \pi f t_0} X(f)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the same way, if we shift the frequency we get:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; X(f-f_0) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{j 2 \pi (f-f_0)t} dt = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t) e^{j 2 \pi f t} df = \mathcal{F} [e^{-j 2 \pi t f_0} x(t)] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would be the Fourier transform of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; cos(2 /pi f_0 t) x(t) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
