Transform Pairs and DFT Properties

A short table of transform pairs plus the energy, shift, and modulation properties turns the DFT into a working tool.

Modulation splits the spectrum

5. The box and its sinc

A box signal of half-width LL is transformed. Why does the peak of its spectrum sit at the origin with height 2L+12L+1?

6. What translation does to the spectrum

An image is translated by several pixels and both versions are transformed. Comparing the two spectra, what is guaranteed to be identical?

7. Box height at the origin

A box signal has half-width L=2L = 2, so its nonzero run holds samples from −2-2 to 22. Write the height of its DFT peak at the origin.
