Notation and Terminology
If
is the DFT of
, we say that
and
form a transform pair and write
Another notation we'll use is
As we've already seen, time-domain signals are consistently denoted using lowercase symbols such as '','' while frequency-domainsignals (spectra), are denoted in uppercase (''
'').
