Summary

Description
English: A Fourier transform and 3 variations caused by periodic sampling (at interval T) and/or periodic summation (at interval P) of the underlying time-domain function.
Note that only the top left graph is an actual Fourier transform. The others may be related to some limit of the Fourier transform of something as it evolves toward something, but are not Fourier transforms themselves. The graph in the upper right shows the coefficients of the Fourier series for the periodic summation of s(t). The graph at the lower left is the Fourier series whose coefficients are the samples of the function s(t). In the graph at the lower right, the portion labeled "FFT" shows coefficeints for a Fourier series which reproduces samples of the periodic summation of s(t). "FFT" indicates that these coefficients can be found by the "Fast Fourier transform if the values of the periodic summation of s(t) are known at the needed values of t.

#{
Sample a funtion at intervals of T, and display only the Nyquist bandwidth [-0.5/T 0.5/T].  
Technically this is just one cycle of a periodic DTFT, but since we can't see the periodicity,
it looks the same as a continuous Fourier transform, provided that the actual bandwidth is
significantly less than the Nyquist bandwidth; i.e. no aliasing.
