Transcript of Life in the frequency domain

  • Life in the frequency domainJean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830)

  • Spectrogram, Northern Cardinal

  • Sampling

  • SamplingExample: CD rate f = 44,100 Hz, so the highest frequency thatcan be represented is 22,050 Hz Called Nyquist frequency = cycle/sample = f/2 Hz

  • Sampling and aliasingAliasing a sine wave:

  • One frequency can masquerade as anotherWhen viewed as a strobed phasor, its easy to see that we need to sample at least twice each period to capture the frequency unambiguouslyNyquists theorem: Highest allowed signal frequency is half the sampling frequency = Nyquist frequency

  • Aliasing strikes!

  • Prefiltering: avoids aliasing on A-to-DOversampling: can substitute cheap digital filtering for expensive analog filtering for A-to-D or D-to-A conversion

  • The Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT)representationtransformFrequencies on circle

  • Heideman, Johnson, Burrus (1985)Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855)

  • The FFTDivide-and-conquer algorithm for DFTYields O(N log N) algorithm

  • FFT Butterfly

  • A once-a-minute application: JPEG Steven W. Smith's Book (1997)Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT)
