This document summarizes key aspects of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). It defines the DFT, provides the formula for calculating it, and explains that the DFT transforms a discrete-time signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. It also outlines several important properties of the DFT, including linearity, shift property, duality, symmetry, and circular convolution. Examples are provided to illustrate duality and symmetry. References for further information on the discrete Fourier transform are also included.
