is the typical representation of a discrete
spectrum for a function. The discrete spectrum will show that the function has
components at angular frequencies
ω
n
which are integer multiples of the
fundamental angular frequency
ω
0
.
Suppose that we are faced with the need to expand a non-periodic function
into sine and cosine components. A non-periodic function can be thought of
as having an infinitely large period. Thus, for a very large value of T, the
fundamental angular frequency,
ω
0
=

π
/T, becomes a very small quantity,
say
∆ω
. Also, the angular frequencies corresponding to

(n = 1, 2, …,

), now take values closer and closer to each other, suggesting
the need for a continuous spectrum of values.
The non-periodic function can be written, therefore, as

The continuous spectrum is given by
The functions C(
ω
), S(
ω
), and A(
ω
) are continuous functions of a variable
ω
,
which becomes the transform variable for the Fourier transforms defined
below.
Example 1 – Determine the coefficients C(

spectrum A(
