4. Fourier Transform
Let f(w) be defined on (-∞,∞) and is piecewise
continuous, differentiable in each finite interval
and is absolutely integral on (-∞,∞), then
Fourier transform of f(w) is defined as:

f w f x e dx
5. Mean of Fourier transformation
The Fourier transform decomposes
a function of time into the
frequencies that make it up, in a
way similar to how a musical chord
can be expressed as the
frequnecies of its notes
6. Need of Fourier Transform
• The Fourier transform decomposes a
function of time into frequencies
that make it up in the way similar to
how a musical chord can be
expressed as the frequencies of its
nodes
7. Physical Significance of Fourier
Transform
The Fourier transform convert a set of
time domain data vector into a sets of
frequency domain vector. Imagine you
wanted to know changes in the
temperature of soil.
8. • Now suppose we to measure the
temperature of this soil in your
garden at dawn, midday and dusk
every day of the year.
9. • we would have a list of real
numbers representing this soil
temperature. The Fourier
transform provide a mean of
manipulating or transform this
raw data into alternative set of
data.
10. Mathematical Modeling of Fourier
Transform
The Fourier transform is a generalization of the
Fourier Series.
It is applied to continues and a periodic
functions, but the use of the impluse function
allow the use of discrete signals .
11. The Fourier transform is defined as
Where w is transform parameter
