The Basic Idea A Fourier Transform converts a wave in the time domain to the frequency domain. Note, for a full discussion of the Fourier Series and Fourier Transform that are the foundation of the DFT and FFT, see the Superposition Principle, Fourier Series, Fourier Transform Tutorial. Every wave has one or more frequencies and amplitudes in it. An example is a sound wave. If someone speaks, whistles, plays an instrument, etc., to generate a sound wave, then any sample of that sound wave has a set of frequencies with amplitudes that describe that wave. According to the mathematician…
