Fourier transform

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002420

A mathematical operation that decomposes a time-domain signal into its constituent frequencies, representing it in the frequency domain. This transformation allows for the analysis of a signal's spectral content, revealing the amplitudes and phases of its sinusoidal components. It finds application in signal processing, image analysis, and solving differential equations, with the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) being a widely used computational algorithm.
