What You'll Find in This Document
This report explores the fundamental mathematical concepts used in signal processing and analysis, including:
Detailed explanations of Fourier Series for periodic signals
The transition from Fourier Series to Fourier Transform
Applications and limitations of Laplace Transform
Key differences between these transforms including domain representation and convergence requirements
Visual examples and graphical representations of transform applications
The document walks through both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of these transforms, with special attention to equation 5-7 which illustrates how Fourier Transforms relate to Fourier Series through impulse functions.
I've enhanced the original assignment by adding proper citations and a bibliography to acknowledge the source materials, particularly for figures adapted from Oppenheim's classic text on Signals and Systems.
Whether you're studying electrical engineering, physics, or applied mathematics, I hope you find this exploration valuable!
