| Fourier transform | transformasi Fourier |
| frequency response | How a system's gain and phase change with the frequency of a sinusoidal input. |
| time–bandwidth trade-off | The rule that a signal short in time must spread over a wide range of frequencies, and the reverse. |
Why does a click hit every band?
- A sharp click lights up every slider on a graphic equaliser at once, from bass to treble. A held note lights up one.
- The Fourier transform explains why: short events spread across many frequencies. This lesson builds the transform and its central trade-off.
From series to transform
- A periodic signal is a sum of harmonics. Let the period grow without limit and the harmonics merge into a continuous spectrum: the Fourier transform 傅里叶变换.
- $X(\omega) = \displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(t)\,e^{-j\omega t}\,dt$ and back again, $x(t) = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} X(\omega)\,e^{j\omega t}\,d\omega$.
X(0), the Fourier transform at zero frequency, equals the total area under x(t).

Put $\omega = 0$: $e^{0} = 1$, so $X(0) = \int x(t)\,dt$. For a pulse that is $A\tau$.
Convolution becomes multiplication
- The property the whole subject rests on: if $y = x * h$, then $Y(\omega) = X(\omega)H(\omega)$.
- $H(\omega)$ is the system's frequency response 频率响应. A filter is designed by shaping it, then multiplying, with no convolution integral.
An input with spectrum X(ω) passes through a system with frequency response H(ω). The output spectrum is

Convolution in time is multiplication in frequency. That single property is why filters are designed in the frequency domain.
The pulse and its sinc
- A pulse of height $A$ and width $\tau$, centred at 0, transforms to $X(\omega) = A\tau\,\dfrac{\sin(\omega\tau/2)}{\omega\tau/2}$, a sinc.
- At $\omega = 0$ it equals the area $A\tau$. The first null is at $\dfrac{\omega\tau}{2} = \pi$, which is $f = \dfrac{1}{\tau}$.

The first null is at $f = \dfrac{1}{\tau} = \dfrac{1}{10^{-3}} = 1$ kHz.
A pulse of height 5 V and width 2 ms. What is X(0), in mV·s?

$X(0) = A\tau = 5 \times 2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.01$ V·s, which is 10 mV·s.
Time–bandwidth trade-off
- Shorter in time means wider in frequency. A 1 ms click has its first null at 1 kHz; a 0.1 ms click pushes it to 10 kHz.
- This time–bandwidth trade-off 时间带宽权衡 is unavoidable. That is why a click reaches every equaliser band.
A pulse is shortened from 1 ms to 50 µs. Where is its first null now, in kHz?

$\dfrac{1}{50\,\mu\text{s}} = 20$ kHz: twenty times shorter, twenty times wider.
Worked example: the ideal filter's price
- A brick-wall low-pass passing 0 to 4 kHz has a rectangular $H$. Its impulse response is a sinc in time, $h(t) = \dfrac{\sin(\omega_{c}t)}{\pi t}$, stretching to $\pm\infty$.
- It starts before $t = 0$, so it is non-causal and cannot be built. Cut it to $|t| \le 5$ ms and the edge softens to about $\dfrac{1}{10\,\text{ms}} = 100$ Hz wide, with Gibbs ripple.
Why can an ideal brick-wall low-pass filter not be built?

The inverse transform of a rectangle is a sinc in time, extending to $-\infty$. A causal system cannot respond before the impulse arrives.
Three common slips
- The wrong sinc argument. It is $\dfrac{\omega\tau}{2}$, dimensionless, not $\omega$.
- Dropping $\dfrac{1}{2\pi}$ from the inverse transform.
- Reading $|X|$ as the whole story. A spectrum needs its phase too.
Match each time-domain feature to its frequency-domain partner.

Every pair is the time–bandwidth trade-off seen from one side or the other.
Recap
- $X(\omega) = \int x(t)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt$; convolution in time is multiplication in frequency.
- Pulse ↔ sinc, with its first null at $f = \dfrac{1}{\tau}$.
- Narrow in one domain means wide in the other.
