Is fft periodic

The FFT is only suitable for periodic signals. The sampled signal segment must contain a whole number of periods.

1. Does FFT assume periodicity?
2. Is DFT periodic or non-periodic?
3. Is Fourier transform Non-periodic?
4. Is Fourier series for periodic signals?

Does FFT assume periodicity?

Originally Answered: How would one apply the FFT on a non-periodic signal? Discrete Fourier transform implicitly assumes that the signal is periodic, so you have to feed it something that you agree to consider periodic.

Is DFT periodic or non-periodic?

the DFT spectrum is periodic with period N (which is expected, since the DTFT spectrum is periodic as well, but with period 2π). Example: DFT of a rectangular pulse: x(n) = 1, 0 ≤ n ≤ (N − 1), 0, otherwise.

Is Fourier transform Non-periodic?

Fourier transform require the signal to be periodic. Why people use it for non-periodic signal? Especially in image processing, images are not periodic (or most images don't have periodic components) but people use 2D DFT to analyze their spectral features.

Is Fourier series for periodic signals?

The Fourier series is applicable only to the periodic signals i.e. the signals which repeat itself periodically over an interval from (−∞to∞)and it cannot be applied to non-periodic signals.
