Classical Fourier methods such as the Fourier series and the Fourier integral are used for continuous time CT signals and systems . systems in which a characteristic signal s t is defined at all values of t on the continuum 1 t 1 .A more recently developed set of Fourier methods including the discrete time Fourier transform DTFT and the discrete Fourier transform DFT are extensions of basic Fourier concepts that apply to discrete time DT signals. A characteristic DT signal s n is defined only for .
