Fourier Transform
• The motivation for the Fourier transform comesfrom the study of Fourier series.
• In Fourier series complicated periodic functionsare written as the sum of simple wavesmathematically represented by sines and cosines.
• Due to the properties of sine and cosine it ispossible to recover the amount of each wave inth b i t l
3
the sum by an integral.
• In many cases it is desirable to use Euler'sformula, which states that ei2πθ=cos2πθ+isin2πθ,to write Fourier series in terms of the basicwaves ei2πθ.
Fourier Transform
• From sines and cosines to complex exponentialsFrom sines and cosines to complex exponentialsmakes it necessary for the Fourier coefficientsto be complex valued. Complex number givesboth the amplitude (or size) of the wave presentin the function and the phase (or the initialangle) of the wave.

First: Construct a new periodic signal gTo(t) formedby repeating the signal g(t) every T seconds

• Integrating gTo(t) over (-To/2,To/2) is the sameas integrating g(t) over (-∞ ∞) thereforeas integrating g(t) over ( , ), therefore
• Observe that the nature of the spectrumchanges as To increases. Let us define G(w); a

Then

3.1 Aperiodic Signal Representation by Fourier Integral
• Fourier coefficients Dn are (1/To times) thesamples of G(ω) uniformly spaced at ωo rad/sec.Therefore (1/To) G(ω) is the envelope for thecoefficients Dn.

3.1 Aperiodic Signal Representation by Fourier Integral
• Let To by doubling To repeatedly. Doubling Tohalves the fundamental frequency ωo, so thatthere are now twice as many samples in thespectrum.

Bandwidth of rect(t/τ)• Most of the signal Energy of the spectrum of
the rect function is in the lower frequencycomponentscomponents.
• Signal Bandwidth: is the difference between thehighest (significant) frequency and the lowest(significant) frequency in the signal spectrum.
• Much of the spectrum of the rect function isconcentrated within the first lobe (from w=0 to
30
concentrated within the first lobe (from w=0 tow=2П/τ.
• A rough estimate of the bandwidth of arectangular pulse of width τ is 2П/τ rad/sec or1/τ Hz.
6/16/2012
16
Bandwidth of rect(t/τ)• To compute the bandwidth, one must consider
the spectrum only for positive values of w.
• The trigonometric spectrum exists only forpositive frequencies.
• The negative frequencies occur because we useexponential spectra for mathematicalconvenience. Each sinusoid coswnt appears of twoexponential compnents with frequencies w and
31
exponential compnents with frequencies wn andw-n.
• In reality there is only one component offrequency which is the wn.

Scaling Property
48
The scaling property states that the time compressionof a signal results in its spectral expansion, and timeexpansion of the signal results in its spectralcompression.
If g(t) is wider, its spectrum is narrower and vise versa.

Frequency Shifting Property
53
Multiplication of a signal by a factor of ejwot
shifts its spectrum by w=wo.
Scaling PropertyChanging wo to –wo yields
ejwot is not a real function that can be generated.
In practice frequency shift is achieved bymultiplying g(t) by a sinusoid as:

Scaling Property• Multiplication of a sinusoid cos (wot) by g(t)
amounts to modulating the sinusoid amplitude.
• This type of modulation is called amplitudemodulation.
cos (wot) is called the carrier.
The signal g(t) is called the modulating signal.

Bandwidth of the Product of two Signals
• If g1(t) and g2(t) have bandwidths B1 and B2 Hz,respectively. Then the bandwidth of g1(t) g2(t) isB1 + B2 Hz.

Ideal and Practical Filters
The ideal low-pass filter allows all components beloww=W rad/s to pass without distortion andsuppresses all components above w=W.
85
Ideal and Practical Filters
The ideal high-pass and bandpass filtercharacteristics are shown below.
86
6/16/2012
44
Signal Distortion During Transmission
The ideal low-pass filter has a linear phase of slope-td, which results in a time delay of td seconds forall its input components of frequencies below Wrad/s.
If the input is a signal g(t) band-limited to W rad/s,the output y(t) is g(t) delayed by td, that is,
87
For this filter |H(w)| = rect (w/2W), and θh(w)=-wtd, so that

Non-causal Causal
Ideal and Practical Filters
If td is sufficiently large, h(t) will be a closeapproximation of h(t), and the resulting filter ii (w)
89
pp ( ), g ( )will be a good approximation of an ideal filter.
Theoretically a delay td = ∞ is needed to realizethe ideal characteristics. But a delay td of threeor four times П/W will make h(t) a reasonably closeversion of h(t-td).
• The truncation operation [cutting the tail of h(t)to make it causal], however, creates some
Ideal and Practical Filters
unsuspected problems of spectral spread andleakage
• This can be partly corrected by truncating h(t)gradually (rather than abruptly) using a taperedwindow function.
90
• Practical (realizable) filter characteristics aregradual, without jump discontinuities in theamplitude response |H(w)|.

The well-known Butterworth filters, for example,have amplitude response

92
As n—›∞, the amplitude response approaches ideal, but thecorresponding phase response is badly distorted in the vicinityof the cutoff frequency B Hz. A certain trade-off existsbetween ideal magnitude and ideal phase characteristics.

A signal transmitted over a channel is distortedbecause: of various channel imperfections.
3.6 Signal Distortion over a Communication Channel
because: of various channel imperfections.
1. Linear Distortion
Signal distortion can be caused over a linear time-invariant channel by nonideal characteristics ofeither the magnitude, the phase, or both.
If l (t) i t itt d th h h
93
If a pulse g(t) is transmitted through such achannel. Spreading, or dispersion, of the pulse willoccur if either the amplitude response or the phaseresponse, or both, are nonideal.
Linear Distortion
A distortionless channel multiplies each componentb h f d d l h bby the same factor and delays each component bythe same amount of time.
If the amplitude response of the channel is notideal [that is, |H(w)| is not equal to a constant],then the pulse will spread out (see the followingexample)
94
example).
The same thing happens if the channel phasecharacteristic is not ideal [θh (w) -wtd].
6/16/2012
48
Dispersion of the pulse is undesirable in a TDM
Linear Distortion
system, because pulse spreading causes interferencewith a neighboring pulse and consequently with aneighboring channel (crosstalk).
For an FDM system, this type of distortion causesdistortion (dispersion) in each multiplexed signal, butno interference occurs with a neighboring channel
95
no interference occurs with a neighboring channel.This is because in FDM, each of the multiplexedsignals occupies a band not occupied by any othersignal.
Example 3.17
A low-pass filter transfer function H(w) is given by
A pulse g(t) band-limited to B Hz is applied at theinput of this filter. Find the output y(t).
96
6/16/2012
49
This filter has ideal phase and nonideal magnitudecharacteristics.
97
The output is actually g(t) + (k/2)[g(t-T)+g(t+T)]delayed by td. It consists of g(t) and its echoesshifted by ±td. The dispersion of the pulse causedby its echoes is evident from the figure below.

We shall consider a simple case of a memorilessnonlinear channel where the input g and the output y
2. Distortion Caused by Channel Nonlinearities
are related by some nonlinear equation,
The right-hand side of this equation can beexpanded in a McLaurin's series as
99
If the bandwidth of g(t) is B Hz, then thebandwidth of gk(t) is kB Hz. Then, the bandwidth ofy(t) is kB Hz
Distortion Caused by Channel Nonlinearities
y(t) is kB Hz.
The output spectrum spreads well beyond the inputspectrum, and the output signal contains newfrequency components not contained in the inputsignal.
If a signal is transmitted over a nonlinear channel
100
If a signal is transmitted over a nonlinear channel,the nonlinearity not only distorts the signal, butalso causes interference with other signals on thechannel because of its spectral dispersion(spreading) which will cause a serious interferenceproblem in FDM systems (but not in TDM systems).

Example 3.18
The input x(t) and the output y(t) of a certainnonlinear channel are related as
1. Find the output signal y(t) and its spectrum Y(w)if the input signal is x(t)=(1000/π) sinc(1000t).
2. Verify that the bandwidth of the output signal istwice that of the input signal This is the result
101
twice that of the input signal. This is the resultof signal squaring.
3. Can the signal x(t) be recovered (withoutdistortion) from the output y(t)?
Example 3.18

We make the following observations:

6/16/2012
53
Example 3.18
2. The received signal contains the input signal x(t)plus an unwanted signal (1000/π) sinc2(1000t).Note that the desired signal and the distortionsignal spectra overlap, and it is impossible torecover the signal x(t) from the received signaly(t) without some distortion.
105
Received signal spectrum Y(w)
Example 3.18
3. We can reduce the distortion by passing thereceived signal through a low-pass filter ofbandwidth I000 rad/s. Observe that the outputof this filter is the desired input signal x(t) withsome residual distortion.
106
Received signal spectrum Y(w)
Spectrum of the Received signal after the low-pass filtering.
6/16/2012
54
Example 3.18
4. We have an additional problem of interferencewith other signals if the input signal x (t) isfrequency-division multiplexed along with severalother signals on this channel. This means thatseveral signals occupying nonoverlapping frequencybands are transmitted simultaneously on thesame channel.
Spreading of the spectrum X(w) outside its original
107
Spreading of the spectrum X(w) outside its originalband of 1000 rad/s will interfere with the signal inthe band of 1000 to 2000 rad/s. Thus, in additionto the distortion of x(t), we also have aninterference with the neighboring band.
Example 3.18
5. If x(t) were a digital signal consisting of a pulsetrain, each pulse would be distorted, but therewould be no interference with the neighboringpulses. Moreover even with distorted pulses, datacan be received without loss because digitalcommunication can withstand considerable pulsedistortion without loss of information.
Thus if this channel were used to transmit a TDM
108
Thus, if this channel were used to transmit a TDMsignal consisting of two interleaved pulse trains, thedata in the two trains would be recovered at thereceiver.

3. Distortion Caused by Multipath Effects
A multipath transmission takes place when atransmitted signal arrives at the receiver by two ormore paths of different delays.
In radio links, the signal can be received by directpath between the transmitting and the receivingantennas and also by reflections from other objects,such as hills, buildings, and so on.
110
In this case the transmission channel can berepresented as several channels in parallel, each witha different relative attenuation and a different timedelay.

Let us consider the case of only two paths: onewith a unity gain and a delay td, and the other witha gain α and a delay td+∆t, as shown below.

Both the magnitude and the phase characteristicsof H(w) are periodic in ω with a period of 2π/∆t.

115
The multipath transmission, therefore, causesnonidealities in the magnitude and the phase
Distortion Caused by Multipath Effects
nonidealities in the magnitude and the phasecharacteristics of the channel and will cause lineardistortion (pulse dispersion).
If the gains of the two paths are very close, thatis, α≈1, the signals received by the two paths canvery nearly cancel each other at certain frequencies,

At frequencies ω=nπ/∆t (n even), the two signalsinterfere constructively to enhance the gain. Suchchannels cause frequency-selective fading oftransmitted signals Such distortion can be partly

The time variations of the channel properties arisebecause of semiperiodic and random changes in thepropagation characteristics of the medium.

The reflection properties of the ionosphere, forexample are related to meteorological conditions
Fading Channels
example, are related to meteorological conditionsthat change seasonally, daily, and even from hourto hour, much the same way as does the weather.Periods of sudden storms also occur. Hence, theeffective channel transfer function variessemiperiodically and randomly, causing randomattenuation of the signal This phenomenon is known

Fading may be strongly frequency dependent where

Fading may be strongly frequency dependent wheredifferent frequency components are affectedunequally. Such fading is known as frequency-selective fading and can cause serious problems incommunication. Multipath propagation can causefrequency-selective fading.

the signal spectrum beyond B Hz with little effecton the signal shape and energy.
The bandwidth B is called the essentail bandwidth ofthe signal.
Supression of all the spectral components of g(t)

The Fourier transform is available only fordeterministic signals, which can be described as

functions of time.
The random message signals that occur incommunication problems, can not be described asfunctions of time, and its impossible to find theirFourier transforms.
147
The autocorrelation function for such signals can bedetermined from their statistical information. Thisallows us to determine the PSD (the spectralinformation) of such a signal.
A random binary pulse train g(t) is shown below. Thepulse width is Tb/2, and one binary digit is

transmitted every Tb seconds. A binary 1 istransmitted by the positive pulse, and a binary 0 istransmitted by the negative pulse. The two symbolsare equally likely and occur randomly. We shalldetermine the autocorrelation function, the PSD, andthe essential bandwidth of this signal.

We cannot describe this signal as a function of timebecause the precise waveform is not known due to
Example 3.23
its random nature.
We do know its behavior in terms of the averages(the statistical information).
The autocorrelation function, being an averageparameter (time average) of the signal, is
149
determinable from the given statistical (average)information.
The figure below shows g(t) by solid lines and g(t-τ)by dashed lines.
Example 3.23
To determine the integrand on the right-hand sideof the autocorrelation equation, we multiply g(t) withg(t-τ), find the area under the product g(t)g(t-τ),and divide it by the averaging interval T. Let therebe N bits (pulses) during this interval T so that T= NTb and as T —›∞ N —›∞
150
= NTb, and as T ›∞, N ›∞.

Let us first consider the case of τ<Tb/2. In thiscase there is an overlap (shown by the shaded

region) between each pulse of g(t) and that of g(t-τ). The area under the product g(t)g(t-τ) is Tb/2-τfor each pulse. Since there are N pulses during theaveraging interval, then the total area under g(t)g(t-τ) is N(Tb/2-τ),
151
Because Rg(τ) is an even function of τ,
Example 3.23
152

77
As we increase τ beyond Tb/2, there will beoverlap between each pulse and its immediate
Example 3.23
overlap between each pulse and its immediateneighbor. The two overlapping pulses are equallylikely to be of the same polarity or of oppositepolarity. Their product is equally likely to be 1 or-1 over the overlapping interval.
On the average, half the pulse products will be 1( iti iti ti ti l
153
(positive-positive or negative-negative pulsecombinations), and the remaining half pulse productswill be -1 (positive-negative or negative-positivecombinations).
Consequently, the area under g(t)g(t- τ) will be zerowhen averaged over an infinitely large time (T —›∞),
Example 3.23
The autocorrelation function in this case is thetriangle function 0.5∆(t-Tb). The PSD is the Fouriertransform of 0.5∆(t-Tb), which is found in Example3.15 as

The PSD is the square of the sinc function shownbelow. From the result in Example 3.21, we concludethat the 90 28% of the area of this spectrum is
Example 3.23
that the 90.28% of the area of this spectrum iscontained within the band from 0 to 4П/Tb rad/s, orfrom 0 to 2/Tb Hz. Thus, the essential bandwidthmay be taken as 2/Tb Hz (assuming a 90% powercriterion).
This example illustrates dramatically how the
