**Analyzing Digital Signals Using Complex Roots of Unity**

For the remainder of this investigation, we choose a sampling period equal to 1 and examine signals that are linear combinations of complex waves with angular frequencies \(2\pi k/N\), where \(k = 0, 2, \ldots, N - 1\) (i.e., \(f = k/N, k = 0, 2, \ldots, N - 1\)). All these waves have positive angular frequencies less than \(2\pi\) and repeat after \(N\) samples. Any signal \(s(t)\) that is a linear combination of these waves can be expressed as follows:

\[ s(t) = \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} a_k e^{2\pi i kt/N}. \quad \quad (1) \]

The signal's information is contained in the complex amplitudes \(\{a_k\}, k = 0, \ldots, N - 1\). We aim to recover these amplitudes from the sampled signal.

The properties of roots of unity are crucial in finding a method to recover the amplitudes. To achieve this, modular arithmetic will be incorporated. Let \(\zeta = e^{2\pi i/N}\) (\(\zeta\) is the Greek letter 'zeta') and recall that \(\zeta^k\) are the \(N\)th roots of unity for \(k = 0, \ldots, N - 1\). As these are roots of unity, they are solutions to the equation \(z^N - 1 = 0\). This implies that the linear factors \(z - \zeta^k\) all divide \(z^N - 1\). Since there are \(N\) distinct linear factors, it follows that:

\[ z^N - 1 = (z - \zeta^0) \cdots (z - \zeta^{N-1}). \quad \quad (2) \]
