ParsevalAndPlancherelsTheorems
Parseval's Theorem and Plancherel's Theorem both deal with the transformation of processes from time domain to frequency domain using Fourier series and Fourier transforms, respectively.
-
Parseval's Theorem (for Fourier Series): This theorem states that the total energy of a process is preserved when transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain. In other words, the sum (or integral) of the square of a function's absolute value over its domain is equal to the sum (or integral) of the square of the absolute value of its Fourier series coefficients. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |f(t)|^2 dt = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |\hat{f}(\omega)|^2 d\omega$$ where
$\hat{f}(\omega)$ denotes the Fourier transform of$f(t)$ . -
Plancherel's Theorem (for Fourier Transforms): Plancherel's Theorem is an extension of Parseval's Theorem to the Fourier Transform, and it states a similar property: the total energy of a process is preserved when transforming from time domain to frequency domain using Fourier Transform. That is, the integral of the square of the absolute value of a function is equal to the integral of the square of the absolute value of its Fourier transform. It is formally expressed as:
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |f(t)|^2 dt = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |\hat{f}(\omega)|^2 d\omega$$
