For a primitive Dirichlet character whose conductor of a Dirichlet character is q>1 and whose character parity is a, Poisson summation gives θχ​(x)=εχ​x−a−1/2θχ​​(1/x), where εχ​=τ(χ)/(iaq​). Its rapid decay at both ends yields the entire Mellin representation of the completed Dirichlet L-function. The case of conductor of a Dirichlet character equal to one uses the ordinary Jacobi theta function and a subtracted constant term.
