Poisson Summation Formula
Consider the summation of N complex sinusoids having frequencies uniformly spaced around the unit circle [264]:
where
.
Setting
(the FFT hop size) gives
![]() |
(9.26) |
where
(harmonics of the frame rate).
Let us now consider these equivalent signals as inputs to an LTI
system, with an impulse response given by
, and frequency response
equal to
.
Looking across the top of Fig.8.16, for the case of input signal
we have
![]() |
(9.27) |
Looking across the bottom of the figure, for the case of input signal
![]() |
(9.28) |
we have the output signal
![]() |
(9.29) |
This second form follows from the fact that complex sinusoids
Since the inputs were equal, the corresponding outputs must be equal too. This derives the Poisson Summation Formula (PSF):
Note that the PSF is the Fourier dual of the sampling theorem [270], [264, Appendix G].
The continuous-time PSF is derived in §B.15.
