In Chapter 2, we looked at a version of Parseval's theorem for the Fourier series. Here, we will look at a similar version of this theorem for the Fourier transform. Recall that the energy of a signal is given by
If the energy is finite then is an energy signal, as described in Chapter 1. Suppose is an energy signal, then the autocorrelation function is defined as
It can be shown that is an even function of and that (see Exercises). The Fourier transform of is given by . If follows that
Which is Parseval's theorem for the Fourier transform.
