 History of DTFT
● The Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) tells us that from a discrete
set of samples of a continuous function, we can find periodic summation of
Fourier transform of the samples.
● Under certain theoretical conditions, described by the sampling theorem, the
original continuous function can be recovered perfectly from the DTFT and
thus from the original discrete samples.
● That famous theorem is called the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem.
● The term discrete-time refers to the fact that the transform operates on
discrete data (samples) whose interval often has units of time.
● From only the samples, it produces a function of frequency that is a periodic
summation of the continuous Fourier transform of the original continuous
function.
● The DTFT itself is a continuous function of frequency.
Definition of DTFT
The discrete-time Fourier transform is a form of Fourier analysis that is applicable
to the uniformly-spaced samples of a continuous function. The term discrete-time
refers to the fact that the transform operates on discrete data whose interval often
has units of time. The Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is the member of
the Fourier transform family that operates on aperiodic, discrete signals.

Applications of DTFT
● The DTFT is defined to process an infinitely long signal (sum from
-infinity to infinity).
● The DTFT spectrum is continuous.
● Since it is impossible to process an infinite number of samples the
DTFT is of less importance for actual computational processing; it
mainly exists for analytical purposes.
● Instead of DFT is used as it is defined to process a periodic signal
(the periodic part being of finite length) and the DFT spectrum is
discrete.
CONCLUSION
So far we have studied analysis and synthesis equation for DTFT, properties of
DTFT, difference between DTFT and DTFS and represented spectral analysis of
DTFT along with some real life applications.
