It is possible and often theoretically useful to examine the energy of signals in both the time domain and the frequency (Fourier series) domain. We will develop an important relationship. Suppose

is a periodic function with F.S. representation

$\begin{displaymath}f(t) = \sum_n D_n e^{jn\omega_0 t} \end{displaymath}$

and is a periodic function with the same period and a F.S. representation

$\begin{displaymath}g(t) = \sum_n E_n e^{jn\omega_0 t} \end{displaymath}$

Now consider an average energy kind of term

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_0}\int_{T_0} f(t)g^*(t) dt \end{displaymath}$

Substituting in for each of the F.S. gives (taking advantage of the orthogonality of the exponential function)

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_0}\int_{T_0} f(t)g^*(t) dt = \sum_{n} D_n E_n^* \end{displaymath}$

We can write this in a convenient inner product notation. We can define the inner product between two series $\{D_n\}$ and $\{E_n\}$ as

$\begin{displaymath}\la D_n,E_n\ra = \sum_{n} D_n E_n^* \end{displaymath}$

Then we can write (using our complex inner product for functions)

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_0} \la f(t),g(t)\ra = \la D_n,E_n \ra \end{displaymath}$

A relationship such as this is known as a Parseval's relationship, named after some guy.

As a special case, take $g(t) = f(t)$ . Then $\frac{1}{T_0} \la f(t),f(t) \ra$ is the average energy of . By the Parseval's relationship,

$\begin{displaymath}\frac{1}{T_0} \la f(t),f(t) \ra = \la D_n,D_n\ra \end{displaymath}$

$\begin{example}Find the sum of the series \begin{displaymath}\sum_n \left(\frac{... ...2} \end{displaymath}This would have been hard to do any other way! \end{example}$
