8. New analysis tools
Fourier Transformation
• Transforms one complex-valued function of a real
variable into another.
• In signal processing, the domain of the original function is
typically time and is accordingly called the time domain.
• The new function is frequency,
• It describes which frequencies are present in the original
function.
• This is analogous to describing a chord of music in terms
of the notes being played.
• Fourier transform decomposes a function into oscillatory
functions.
