Periodic signal representation by fourier series prelab. The fourier transform for continuous signals is divided into two categories, one for signals that are periodic, and one for signals that are aperiodic. In previous models, the excitation signal is modeled as a step or ramp function, and most of the effort is focused on approximating the transfer function. The fourier transform used with aperiodic signals is simply called the fourier transform. Fourier series representation of continuous periodic. If we construct another signal by sampling this original signal at regular time intervals, then the fourier transform of that newly constructed signal would corresponds to the discretetime fourier transform dtft which would be periodic. A special case is the expression of a musical chord in terms of the volumes and frequencies of its constituent notes. The fourier transform ft decomposes a function often a function of time, or a signal into its constituent frequencies. This result indicates that we can represent the spectrum of a periodic time signal x t t as a continuous function of frequency f or, just like the spectrum of a nonperiodic signal xt.
