The Fourier transform was named after Joseph Fourier, a French mathematician. A Fourier Transform takes a function to its frequency components.
Properties of a Fourier Transform:
Properties of a Fourier Transform:
Linearity

Shifting the function changes the phase of the spectrum

Frequency and amplitude are affected when changing spatial scale inversely

Symmetries =
- if x(t) is real, then
- if x(t) is imaginary, then
- if x(t) is even, then
- if x(t) is odd, then
