Fourier Series (Signal Processing) New

Fourier series can be used for applications such as noise cancellation in cell phones, modeling vibrations and oscillations in physics, and finding solutions to the heat equation. It represents any periodic function as a sum of sines and cosines, and is used in areas like electromagnetism, heat conduction, and quantum theory. The discrete Fourier transform, which is a generalization of Fourier series, is used anytime Wi-Fi is used. Fourier transforms are also used in audio/image compression formats like MP3 and JPEG.

Real world applications Of Fourier Series

1. Advanced noise cancellation and cell phones network technology


uses Fourier Series where digital filtering is used to minimize noise
and bandwith demand respectively .

2. Many problems in physics involve vibrations and oscillations.


Often the oscillatory motion is simple (e.g. weights on springs,
pendulums, harmonic waves etc.) and can be represented as
single sine or cosine function However,in many cases,
(electromagnetism, heat conduction, quantum theory,etc.) the
wave forms are not simple and, unlike sines and cosines, can be
difficult to treat analytically.Fourier methods give us a set of
powerful tools for representing any periodic function as a sum of
sines and cosines.

3. It can also be used for finding solutions of the heat equation.These


solutions have had a lot of applications in engineering.

4. Fourier series apply to periodic functions, and a generalisation is


the Fourier transform for general functions. You use the discrete
Fourier transform every time you use wifi.

5. Another early use was in modelling and predicting ocean tides.

6. Most audio and images CODEC'S (including JPEG and Mp3)actually


use DCTs,which are a subset of generalized fourier transforms.

7. fourier series is broadly used in telecommunications system, for


modulation and demodulation of voice signals, also the
input,output and calculation of pulse and their sine or cosine
graph.

purpose of fourier series in signal processing


In signal processing, the fourier transforms.often takes a time,& maps
into a frequency spectrum i.e it takes the function from the time
domain into frequency domain

Fourier series decomposes any periodic function or periodic signal into


the sum of a set of simple oscillating functions i.e sines and cosines .

A signal can be either continous or discrete & it can be either periodic or


Aperiodic.these two features generates the four categories.

Types of fourier transforms


1. periodic-continous

sines waves,square waves and another wavefrom that repeat itself in


a regular pattern from negative to positive infinity ( this version of
fourier transform is called the fourier series).

2. Aperiodic -continous

for example, decaying exponentials and the Gaussian curve. These


signals extend to both positive and negative infinity without
repeating in a periodic pattern. this type of signal is simply called the
Fourier Transform.

3.periodic discrete

These are discrete signals that repeat themselves in a periodic


fashion from negative to positive infinity. This is sometimes called
the Discrete Fourier Series.

4.Aperiodic discrete

These signals are only defined at discrete points between positive


and negative infinity, and do not repeat themselves in a periodic
fashion. This type of Fourier transform is called the Discrete Time
Fourier Transform.
