Synopsis

The Fourier Transform has now become a vitally important component in the tool-kit of the practicing engineer, scientist and technologist. The processing of data and trying to make sense of it has long been the challenge of every scientist. There are many software tools on the market which greatly assist in this task and it seems that MatLab has attracted a fair amount of attention despite its rather awkward front end. Given a stream of data, the need often arises to know whether there is any periodic characteristics in the data. This is where the Fourier Transform comes it – to determine whether there are repetitive patterns in the data. Enter the fray of frequency analysis. The data stream may be contaminated by noise however the Fourier Transform can usually indicate if there are any frequency components present. Having a really good understanding of the Fourier Transform is therefore important and especially knowing the limitations of the Transform.
