Fourier Series Special Case

In the very special case of truly periodic signals $ x(t) =
x(t+NT)$ , for all $ t\in(-\infty,\infty)$ , the DFT may be regarded as computing the Fourier series coefficients of $ x(t)$ from one period of its sampled representation $ x(nT)$ , $ n=0,1,\dots,N-1$ . The period of $ x$ must be exactly $ NT$ seconds for this to work. For the details, see §B.3.
