where the period is denoted by Ts . This signal, which will be useful in Chapter 12 in deriving the sampling theorem,
is plotted in Fig. 11-10(a). Because x(t) is periodic with period Ts , we can also express (11.41) as a Fourier series

The Fourier coefficients for the periodic impulse train are all the same size. Now in general, the Fourier transform of
a periodic signal represented by a Fourier series as in (11.42) is of the form
