The question almost certainly intends "fast" instead of "first". The difference between a Fourier Transform and a Fast Fourier Transform is only the amount of effort required to generate the result. Both have the same the result. The original Fourier Transform requires an amount of effort which is proportional to the square of the amount of data being used. So if the amount of data doubles, the amount of effort to calculate the result quadruples. In contrast, the subsequently discovered Fast Fourier Transform requires an amount of effort proportional to the product of the amount of data and the base-two logarithm of the amount of data. Thus, if the amount of data doubles, the amount of effort increases but by less than a quadruple. With each doubling of the data size, the amount of effort increases by a diminishing factor which slowly drops toward but never reaches two.

How do you find discrete fourier transform of non causal signal?

first convert non-causal into causal and then find DFT for that then applt shifing property.


How do you calculate spectral efficiency?

1.Find the Fourier Transform of the pulse used to transmit data over the channel. 2.Determine the bitrate of the signal by the modulation format (QPSK for example has 2bits/symbol so 1 symbol per second would equate to 2 bits/s) 3.The first null in the Fourier transform is the required bandwidth (~0.75 x bitrate in optical communications, depends on channel) 4. Divide bits/s by the required bandwidth to find the spectral efficiency.

What is the Syllabus of engg mathematics for Be?

MA1201 MATHEMATICS III 3 1 0 100 AIM The course aims to develop the skills of the students in the areas of boundary value problems and transform techniques. This will be necessary for their effective studies in a large number of engineering subjects like heat conduction, communication systems, electro-optics and electromagnetic theory. The course will also serve as a prerequisite for post graduate and specialized studies and research. OBJECTIVES At the end of the course the students would • Be capable of mathematically formulating certain practical problems in terms of partial differential equations, solve them and physically interpret the results. • Have gained a well founded knowledge of Fourier series, their different possible forms and the frequently needed practical harmonic analysis that an engineer may have to make from discrete data. • Have obtained capacity to formulate and identify certain boundary value problems encountered in engineering practices, decide on applicability of the Fourier series method of solution, solve them and interpret the results. • Have grasped the concept of expression of a function, under certain conditions, as a double integral leading to identification of transform pair, and specialization on Fourier transform pair, their properties, the possible special cases with attention to their applications. • Have learnt the basics of Z - transform in its applicability to discretely varying functions, gained the skill to formulate certain problems in terms of difference equations and solve them using the Z - transform technique bringing out the elegance of the procedure involved.
