588 C H A P T E R 10: Fourier Analysis of Discrete-Time Signals and Systems
In a dual way, when we multiply a signal by a complex exponentialejω^0 nfor some frequencyω 0 ,
the spectrum of the signal is shifted in frequency. So ifx[n] has a DTFTX(ejω), the modulated signal
x[n]ejω^0 nhas as DTFTX(ej(ω−ω^0 )). Indeed, the DTFT ofx 1 [n]=x[n]ejω^0 nis
X 1 (ejω)=
∑
n
x 1 [n]e−jωn=
∑
n
x[n]e−j(ω−ω^0 )n=X(ej(ω−ω^0 ))
The following pairs illustrate the duality in time and frequency shifts: if the DTFT ofx[n]isX(ejω)then
x[n−N]⇔X(ejω)e−jωN
x[n]ejω^0 n⇔X(ej(ω−ω^0 )) (10.19)
RemarkThe signal x[n]ejω^0 nwas calledmodulatedbecause x[n]modulates the complex exponential or
discrete-time sinusoids. It can be written as
x[n] cos(ω 0 n)+jx[n] sin(ω 0 n)
nExample 10.7
The DTFT ofx[n]=cos(ω 0 n),−∞<n<∞, cannot be found from the Z-transform or from the
sum defining the DTFT asx[n] is not a finite-energy signal. Use the frequency-shift and the time-
shift properties to find the DTFTs ofx[n]=cos(ω 0 n)andy[n]=sin(ω 0 n).
Solution
Using Euler’s identity we have that
x[n]=cos(ω 0 n)=
ejω^0 n+e−jω^0 n

and so the DTFT ofx[n] is given by
X(ejω)=F[0.5ejω^0 n]+F[0.5e−jω^0 n]
=F[0.5]ω−ω 0 +F[0.5]ω+ω 0
=π[δ(ω−ω 0 )+δ(ω+ω 0 )]
Since
y[n]=sin(ω 0 n)=cos(ω 0 n−π/ 2 )=cos(ω 0 (n−π/( 2 ω 0 ))=x[n−π/( 2 ω 0 )]
we have that according to the time-shift property its DTFT is given by
Y(ejω)=X(ejω)e−jωπ/(^2 ω^0 )
