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

   [a*x(t)+b*y(t)]=a*X(f)+b*Y(f)


= Shifting the function changes the phase of the spectrum

   [x(ta)]=X(t)ej2πfa

Frequency and amplitude are affected when changing spatial scale inversely

   [x(a*t)]=1aX(fa)
