Are the period of signal and its fourier coefficient the same?












-1














Are the period of signal and its fourier coefficient the same?i mean if the the period of $x[n]$ is $5$,will the period of its fourier coefficient ,$a_k$, also $5$? how to prove it?



Because the definition of a periodic is $x[n]=x[n+N]$,but if we do fourier series at the same time ,it will become $a_k=a_k times e^{jwkN}$,and in this formula,$w=frac{2 pi}{N}$,so i it will become $a_k=a_k times e^{j pi k}$
,i can't know the period of $a_k$ from here.

  • @Somos but if i do that,that maybe the exception,can we just use the definition to prove that?

  • @Somos I have proved it by definition,the answer is "yes",if $a_k$ is a periodic,its period must be equal to its inverse fourier coefficient $x[n]$

  • I don't understand your question. Can you give a simple example of what you are asking? I don't understand what a coefficient being periodic means. It is just a number. What is $x[n]$? What is $a_k$?

if $a_k$ is periodic,then $a_k=a_{k+p}$,$p$ is the period of $a_k$



by definition



$a_k=frac{1}{N}sumlimits_{n=-infty}^{infty}e^{-jfrac{2 pi}{N}kn}$,and $a_{k+p}=frac{1}{N}sumlimits_{n=-infty}^{infty}e^{-jfrac{2 pi}{N}(z-p)n}=frac{1}{N}sumlimits_{n=-infty}^{infty}e^{-jfrac{2 pi}{N}zn}e^{jfrac{2 pi}{N}pn}$,if $a_{k+p}$ wants to be equal to $a_k$,then $p$ must be equal to $N$,so that $e^{jfrac{2 pi}{N}pn}=e^{j2 pi n} = 1$.



$p$ must be equal to $N$.that is the period of the $a_k = $ the period of the $x[n]$
