Template:Fourier transforms

In mathematics, the sciences, and engineering, Fourier analysis (/ˈfʊrieɪ, -iər/)[1] is the study of the way general functions on the real line, circle, integers, finite cyclic group or general locally compact Abelian group may be represented or approximated by sums of trigonometric functions or more conveniently, complex exponentials. Fourier analysis grew from the study of Fourier series, and is named after Joseph Fourier, who showed that representing a function as a sum of trigonometric functions greatly simplifies the study of heat transfer.

Fourier analysis has applications in many areas of pure and applied mathematics, in the sciences and in engineering. The process of decomposing a function into oscillatory components is often called Fourier analysis, while the operation of rebuilding the function from these pieces is known as Fourier synthesis. For example, determining what component frequencies are present in a musical note would involve computing the Fourier transform of a sampled musical note. One can then re-synthesize the same sound by mixing purely harmonic sounds with frequency components as revealed in the Fourier analysis. In mathematics, the term Fourier analysis often refers to the study of both operations.

The decomposition process itself is called a Fourier transformation. Its output, the Fourier transform, is often given a more specific name, which depends on the domain and other properties of the function being transformed. Moreover, the original concept of Fourier analysis has been extended over time to apply to more and more abstract and general situations as group representation theory, and the general field is often known as harmonic analysis. Each transform used for analysis (see list of Fourier-related transforms) has a corresponding inverse transform that can be used for synthesis.

In applications, Fourier analysis is usually applied to a "signal" depending on "time" sampled at equal time intervals of length T. The Fourier transform converts this sequence in an equally long sequence of amplitudes for sines and cosines (or more conveniently, complex exponentials) with frequency multiples of 1/T. This is particularly useful to detect strong periodic components in the signal. The fast Fourier transform is an efficient algorithm to compute these amplitudes. Different approaches have been developed for analyzing unequally spaced data, notably the least-squares spectral analysis (LSSA) methods that use a least squares fit of sinusoids to data samples, similar to Fourier analysis.[2][3] Fourier analysis, the most used spectral method in science, generally boosts long-periodic noise in long gapped records; LSSA mitigates such problems.[4]

## Applications

Fourier analysis has many scientific applications – in physics, partial differential equations, number theory, combinatorics, signal processing, digital image processing, probability theory, statistics, forensics, option pricing, cryptography, numerical analysis, acoustics, oceanography, sonar, optics, diffraction, geometry, protein structure analysis, and other areas.

This wide applicability stems from many useful properties of the transforms:

* The transforms are linear operators and, with proper normalization, are unitary as well (a property known as Parseval's theorem or, more generally, as the Plancherel theorem, and most generally via Pontryagin duality).[5]
* The transforms are usually invertible.
* The exponential functions are eigenfunctions of differentiation, which means that this representation transforms linear differential equations with constant coefficients into ordinary algebraic ones.[6] Therefore, the behavior of a linear time-invariant system can be analyzed at each frequency independently.
* By the convolution theorem, Fourier transforms turn the complicated convolution operation into simple multiplication, which means that they provide an efficient way to compute convolution-based operations such as signal filtering, polynomial multiplication, and multiplying large numbers.[7]
* The discrete version of the Fourier transform (see below) can be evaluated quickly on computers using fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms.[8]

In forensics, laboratory infrared spectrophotometers use Fourier transform analysis for measuring the wavelengths of light at which a material will absorb in the infrared spectrum. The FT method is used to decode the measured signals and record the wavelength data. And by using a computer, these Fourier calculations are rapidly carried out, so that in a matter of seconds, a computer-operated FT-IR instrument can produce an infrared absorption pattern comparable to that of a prism instrument.[9]

Fourier transformation is also useful as a compact representation of a signal. For example, JPEG compression uses a variant of the Fourier transformation (discrete cosine transform) of small square pieces of a digital image. The Fourier components of each square are rounded to lower arithmetic precision, and weak components are eliminated, so that the remaining components can be stored very compactly. In image reconstruction, each image square is reassembled from the preserved approximate Fourier-transformed components, which are then inverse-transformed to produce an approximation of the original image.

In signal processing, the Fourier transform often takes a time series or a function of continuous time, and maps it into a frequency spectrum. That is, it takes a function from the time domain into the frequency domain; it is a decomposition of a function into sinusoids of different frequencies; in the case of a Fourier series or discrete Fourier transform, the sinusoids are harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the function being analyzed.

When a function s(t) is a function of time and represents a physical signal, the transform has a standard interpretation as the frequency spectrum of the signal. The magnitude of the resulting complex-valued function S(f) at frequency f represents the amplitude of a frequency component whose initial phase is given by the angle of S(f) (polar coordinates).

Fourier transforms are not limited to functions of time, and temporal frequencies. They can equally be applied to analyze spatial frequencies, and indeed for nearly any function domain. This justifies their use in such diverse branches as image processing, heat conduction, and automatic control.

When processing signals, such as audio, radio waves, light waves, seismic waves, and even images, Fourier analysis can isolate narrowband components of a compound waveform, concentrating them for easier detection or removal. A large family of signal processing techniques consist of Fourier-transforming a signal, manipulating the Fourier-transformed data in a simple way, and reversing the transformation.[10]

Some examples include:

* Equalization of audio recordings with a series of bandpass filters;
* Digital radio reception without a superheterodyne circuit, as in a modern cell phone or radio scanner;
* Image processing to remove periodic or anisotropic artifacts such as jaggies from interlaced video, strip artifacts from strip aerial photography, or wave patterns from radio frequency interference in a digital camera;
* Cross correlation of similar images for co-alignment;
* X-ray crystallography to reconstruct a crystal structure from its diffraction pattern;
* Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to determine the mass of ions from the frequency of cyclotron motion in a magnetic field;
* Many other forms of spectroscopy, including infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies;
* Generation of sound spectrograms used to analyze sounds;
* Passive sonar used to classify targets based on machinery noise.

## Variants of Fourier analysis

A Fourier transform and 3 variations caused by periodic sampling (at interval T) and/or periodic summation (at interval P) of the underlying time-domain function. The relative computational ease of the DFT sequence and the insight it gives into S(f) make it a popular analysis tool.

There are five different variants of Fourier analysis depending on the characteristics of the input signal:

* Continuous time Fourier transform (CTFT)
* Continuous time Fourier series (CTFS)
* Discrete time Fourier transform (DTFT)
* Discrete time Fourier series (DTFS)
* Discrete Fourier transform (DFT)

The choice of which of the first four variants to use is determined by two characteristics of the input function:

* Whether the input function’s domain is continuous or discrete, and
* Whether the input function is periodic or aperiodic in its domain.

The fifth variant, the DFT, is used only in the case where the input function is discrete in its domain and limited to a finite region of support. The DFT is the only variant that can be calculated numerically, and it can be used to approximate the other four variants.

### Continuous time Fourier transform (CTFT)

Main article: Fourier transform

Most often, the unqualified term Fourier transform refers to the transform of functions of a continuous real argument, and it produces a continuous function of frequency, known as a frequency distribution or spectrum. One function is transformed into another, and the operation is reversible. When the domain of the input (initial) function is time (t), and the domain of the output (final) function is ordinary frequency, the transform of function s(t) at frequency f is given by the complex number:

S(f)=∫−∞∞s(t)⋅e−i2πftdt.

Evaluating this quantity for all values of f produces the frequency-domain function. Then s(t) can be represented as a recombination of complex exponentials of all possible frequencies:

s(t)=∫−∞∞S(f)⋅ei2πftdf,

which is the inverse transform formula. The complex number, S(f), conveys both amplitude and phase of frequency f.

See Fourier transform for much more information, including:

* conventions for amplitude normalization and frequency scaling/units
* transform properties
* tabulated transforms of specific functions
* an extension/generalization for functions of multiple dimensions, such as images.

### Continuous time Fourier series (CTFS)

Main article: Fourier series

The Fourier transform of a periodic function, sP(t), with period P, becomes a Dirac comb function, modulated by a sequence of complex coefficients:

S[k]=1P∫PsP(t)⋅e−i2πkPtdt,k∈ℤ, (where ∫P is the integral over any interval of length P).

The inverse transform, known as Fourier series, is a representation of sP(t) in terms of a summation of a potentially infinite number of harmonically related sinusoids or complex exponential functions, each with an amplitude and phase specified by one of the coefficients:

sP(t) = ℱ−1{∑k=−∞+∞S[k]δ(f−kP)} = ∑k=−∞∞S[k]⋅ei2πkPt.

Any sP(t) can be expressed as a periodic summation of another function, s(t):

sP(t)≜∑m=−∞∞s(t−mP),

and the coefficients are proportional to samples of S(f) at discrete intervals of 1P:

S[k]=1P⋅S(kP).[upper-alpha 1]

Note that any s(t) whose transform has the same discrete sample values can be used in the periodic summation. A sufficient condition for recovering s(t) (and therefore S(f)) from just these samples (i.e. from the Fourier series) is that the non-zero portion of s(t) be confined to a known interval of duration P, which is the frequency domain dual of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem.

See Fourier series for more information, including the historical development.

### Discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT)

Main article: Discrete-time Fourier transform

The DTFT is the mathematical dual of the time-domain Fourier series. Thus, a convergent periodic summation in the frequency domain can be represented by a Fourier series, whose coefficients are samples of a related continuous time function:

S1T(f) ≜ ∑k=−∞∞S(f−kT)≡∑n=−∞∞s[n]⋅e−i2πfnT⏞Fourier series (DTFT)⏟Poisson summation formula=ℱ{∑n=−∞∞s[n] δ(t−nT)},

which is known as the DTFT. Thus the DTFT of the s[n] sequence is also the Fourier transform of the modulated Dirac comb function.[upper-alpha 2]

The Fourier series coefficients (and inverse transform), are defined by:

s[n] ≜ T∫1TS1T(f)⋅ei2πfnTdf=T∫−∞∞S(f)⋅ei2πfnTdf⏟≜s(nT).

Parameter T corresponds to the sampling interval, and this Fourier series can now be recognized as a form of the Poisson summation formula. Thus we have the important result that when a discrete data sequence, s[n], is proportional to samples of an underlying continuous function, s(t), one can observe a periodic summation of the continuous Fourier transform, S(f). Note that any s(t) with the same discrete sample values produces the same DTFT. But under certain idealized conditions one can theoretically recover S(f) and s(t) exactly. A sufficient condition for perfect recovery is that the non-zero portion of S(f) be confined to a known frequency interval of width 1T. When that interval is [−12T,12T], the applicable reconstruction formula is the Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula. This is a cornerstone in the foundation of digital signal processing.

Another reason to be interested in S1T(f) is that it often provides insight into the amount of aliasing caused by the sampling process.

Applications of the DTFT are not limited to sampled functions. See Discrete-time Fourier transform for more information on this and other topics, including:

* normalized frequency units
* windowing (finite-length sequences)
* transform properties
* tabulated transforms of specific functions

### Discrete time Fourier series (DTFS)

Main article: Discrete Fourier series

### Discrete Fourier transform (DFT)

Main article: Discrete Fourier transform

Similar to a Fourier series, the DTFT of a periodic sequence, sN[n], with period N, becomes a Dirac comb function, modulated by a sequence of complex coefficients (see DTFT § Periodic data):

S[k]=∑nsN[n]⋅e−i2πkNn,k∈ℤ, (where ∑n is the sum over any sequence of length N.)

The S[k] sequence is customarily known as the DFT of one cycle of sN. It is also N-periodic, so it is never necessary to compute more than N coefficients. The inverse transform, also known as a discrete Fourier series, is given by:

sN[n]=1N∑kS[k]⋅ei2πnNk, where ∑k is the sum over any sequence of length N.

When sN[n] is expressed as a periodic summation of another function:

sN[n]≜∑m=−∞∞s[n−mN], and  s[n]≜T⋅s(nT),

the coefficients are samples of S1T(f) at discrete intervals of 1P=1NT:

S[k]=S1T(kP).

Conversely, when one wants to compute an arbitrary number (N) of discrete samples of one cycle of a continuous DTFT, S1T(f), it can be done by computing the relatively simple DFT of sN[n], as defined above. In most cases, N is chosen equal to the length of the non-zero portion of s[n]. Increasing N, known as zero-padding or interpolation, results in more closely spaced samples of one cycle of S1T(f). Decreasing N, causes overlap (adding) in the time-domain (analogous to aliasing), which corresponds to decimation in the frequency domain. (see Discrete-time Fourier transform § L=N×I) In most cases of practical interest, the s[n] sequence represents a longer sequence that was truncated by the application of a finite-length window function or FIR filter array.

The DFT can be computed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, which makes it a practical and important transformation on computers.

* transform properties
* applications
* tabulated transforms of specific functions

### Summary

For periodic functions, both the Fourier transform and the DTFT comprise only a discrete set of frequency components (Fourier series), and the transforms diverge at those frequencies. One common practice (not discussed above) is to handle that divergence via Dirac delta and Dirac comb functions. But the same spectral information can be discerned from just one cycle of the periodic function, since all the other cycles are identical. Similarly, finite-duration functions can be represented as a Fourier series, with no actual loss of information except that the periodicity of the inverse transform is a mere artifact.

It is common in practice for the duration of s(•) to be limited to the period, P or N. But these formulas do not require that condition.

## Symmetry properties

When the real and imaginary parts of a complex function are decomposed into their even and odd parts, there are four components, denoted below by the subscripts RE, RO, IE, and IO. And there is a one-to-one mapping between the four components of a complex time function and the four components of its complex frequency transform:[11]

Time domains=sRE+sRO+isIE+i sIO⏟⇕ℱ⇕ℱ ⇕ℱ ⇕ℱ ⇕ℱFrequency domainS=SRE+i SIO⏞+iSIE+SRO

From this, various relationships are apparent, for example:

* The transform of a real-valued function (sRE+sRO) is the conjugate symmetric function SRE+i SIO. Conversely, a conjugate symmetric transform implies a real-valued time-domain.
* The transform of an imaginary-valued function (i sIE+i sIO) is the conjugate antisymmetric function SRO+i SIE, and the converse is true.
* The transform of a conjugate symmetric function (sRE+i sIO) is the real-valued function SRE+SRO, and the converse is true.
* The transform of a conjugate antisymmetric function (sRO+i sIE) is the imaginary-valued function i SIE+i SIO, and the converse is true.

## History

An early form of harmonic series dates back to ancient Babylonian mathematics, where they were used to compute ephemerides (tables of astronomical positions).[12][13][14][15]

The Classical Greek concepts of deferent and epicycle in the Ptolemaic system of astronomy were related to Fourier series (see Deferent and epicycle § Mathematical formalism).

In modern times, variants of the discrete Fourier transform were used by Alexis Clairaut in 1754 to compute an orbit,[16] which has been described as the first formula for the DFT,[17] and in 1759 by Joseph Louis Lagrange, in computing the coefficients of a trigonometric series for a vibrating string.[17] Technically, Clairaut's work was a cosine-only series (a form of discrete cosine transform), while Lagrange's work was a sine-only series (a form of discrete sine transform); a true cosine+sine DFT was used by Gauss in 1805 for trigonometric interpolation of asteroid orbits.[18] Euler and Lagrange both discretized the vibrating string problem, using what would today be called samples.[17]

An early modern development toward Fourier analysis was the 1770 paper Réflexions sur la résolution algébrique des équations by Lagrange, which in the method of Lagrange resolvents used a complex Fourier decomposition to study the solution of a cubic:[19] Lagrange transformed the roots x1, x2, x3 into the resolvents:

r1=x1+x2+x3r2=x1+ζx2+ζ2x3r3=x1+ζ2x2+ζx3

where ζ is a cubic root of unity, which is the DFT of order 3.

A number of authors, notably Jean le Rond d'Alembert, and Carl Friedrich Gauss used trigonometric series to study the heat equation,[20] but the breakthrough development was the 1807 paper Mémoire sur la propagation de la chaleur dans les corps solides by Joseph Fourier, whose crucial insight was to model all functions by trigonometric series, introducing the Fourier series. Independently of Fourier, astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel also introduced Fourier series to solve Kepler's equation. His work was published in 1819, unaware of Fourier's work which remained unpublished until 1822.[21]

Historians are divided as to how much to credit Lagrange and others for the development of Fourier theory: Daniel Bernoulli and Leonhard Euler had introduced trigonometric representations of functions, and Lagrange had given the Fourier series solution to the wave equation, so Fourier's contribution was mainly the bold claim that an arbitrary function could be represented by a Fourier series.[17]

The subsequent development of the field is known as harmonic analysis, and is also an early instance of representation theory.

The first fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm for the DFT was discovered around 1805 by Carl Friedrich Gauss when interpolating measurements of the orbit of the asteroids Juno and Pallas, although that particular FFT algorithm is more often attributed to its modern rediscoverers Cooley and Tukey.[18][16]

## Time–frequency transforms

In signal processing terms, a function (of time) is a representation of a signal with perfect time resolution, but no frequency information, while the Fourier transform has perfect frequency resolution, but no time information.

As alternatives to the Fourier transform, in time–frequency analysis, one uses time–frequency transforms to represent signals in a form that has some time information and some frequency information – by the uncertainty principle, there is a trade-off between these. These can be generalizations of the Fourier transform, such as the short-time Fourier transform, the Gabor transform or fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), or can use different functions to represent signals, as in wavelet transforms and chirplet transforms, with the wavelet analog of the (continuous) Fourier transform being the continuous wavelet transform.

## Fourier transforms on arbitrary locally compact abelian topological groups

The Fourier variants can also be generalized to Fourier transforms on arbitrary locally compact Abelian topological groups, which are studied in harmonic analysis; there, the Fourier transform takes functions on a group to functions on the dual group. This treatment also allows a general formulation of the convolution theorem, which relates Fourier transforms and convolutions. See also the Pontryagin duality for the generalized underpinnings of the Fourier transform.

More specific, Fourier analysis can be done on cosets,[22] even discrete cosets.

2. ↑ We may also note that:

∑n=−∞+∞T⋅s(nT)δ(t−nT)=∑n=−∞+∞T⋅s(t)δ(t−nT)=s(t)⋅T∑n=−∞+∞δ(t−nT).
Consequently, a common practice is to model "sampling" as a multiplication by the Dirac comb function, which of course is only "possible" in a purely mathematical sense.
