Fourier TransformFor a continuous-time function x(t), the Fourier transform of x(t) can be defined as, $$\mathrm{X(\omega)=\int_{-\infty }^{\infty}x(t)\:e^{-jwt}\:dt}$$And the inverse Fourier transform is defined as, $$\mathrm{x(t)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty }^{\infty}X(\omega)\:e^{jwt}\:d\omega}$$Time Integration Property of Fourier TransformStatementThe time integration property of continuous-time Fourier transform states that the integration of a function x(t) in time domain is equivalent to the division of its Fourier transform by a factor jω in frequency domain. Therefore, if, $$\mathrm{x(t)\overset{FT}{\leftrightarrow}X(\omega )}$$Then, according to the time integration property$$\mathrm{\int_{-\infty }^{t}x(\tau )\:\overset{FT}{\leftrightarrow}\frac{X(\omega )}{j\omega };\:\:(if\:X(0)=0)}$$ProofWhen X(0)=0; then the time integration property of CTFT can be proved by using integration by parts.Therefore, from the definition of inverse ...

Linear Time Invariant SystemA system for which the principle of superposition and the principle of homogeneity are valid and the input/output characteristics do not with time is called the linear time invariant (LTI) system.Properties of LTI SystemA continuous-time LTI system can be represented in terms of its unit impulse response. It takes the form of convolution integral. Hence, the properties followed by the continuous time convolution are also followed by the LTI system. The impulse response of an LTI system is very important because it can completely determine the characteristics of an LTI system.In this article, we will highlight some ... Read More

Signal BandwidthThe spectral components of a signal extends from (−∞) to ∞ and any practical signal has finite energy. Consequently, the spectral components approach zero when the frequency 𝜔 tends to ∞. Therefore, those spectral components can be neglected which have negligible energy and hence only a band of frequency components is selected which have most of the signal energy. This band of frequency components which contains most of the signal energy is called the signal bandwidth.Normally, this band has the frequency components that contains around 95% of the total energy depending upon the precision.System BandwidthA system which has infinite ...

ConvolutionThe convolution is a mathematical operation for combining two signals to form a third signal. In other words, the convolution is a mathematical way which is used to express the relation between the input and output characteristics of an LTI system.Mathematically, the convolution of two signals is given by, $$\mathrm{x_{1}\left ( t \right )\ast x_{2}\left ( t \right )=\int_{-\infty }^{\infty }x_{1}\left ( \tau \right )x_{2}\left ( t-\tau \right )d\tau =\int_{-\infty }^{\infty }x_{2}\left ( \tau \right )x_{1}\left ( t-\tau \right )d\tau}$$CorrelationThe correlation is defined as the measure of similarity between two signals or functions or waveforms. The correlation is of two ... Read More
The scipy.interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind, axis, copy, bounds_error, fill_value, assumesorted) class of SciPy library, as name implies, is used to interpolate a 1-Dimensional function.

NumPy, stands for Numerical Python, is used for the manipulation of elements of numerical array data. SciPy, stands for Scientific Python, is used for numerical computations in Python. Both these packages provide extended functionality to work with Python. Let’s understand some basic differences between NumPy and SciPy −Functional differences − NumPy has a faster processing speed than SciPy. The functions defined in NumPy library are not in depth whereas SciPy library consists of detailed versions of the functions. SciPy is built on NumPy and it is recommended to use both libraries altogether for fast and efficient scientific and mathematical computations.Array concept − ... Read More
