A sine wave 5*sin (24t) Amplitude = 5 Frequency = 4 Hz seconds
A sine wave signal 5*sin(24t) Amplitude = 5 Frequency = 4 Hz Sampling rate = 256 samples/second Sampling duration = 1 second seconds
The Nyquist Frequency • The Nyquist frequency is equal to one-half of the sampling frequency. • The Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency that can be measured in a signal.
Fourier series • Periodic functions are expanded into sines and cosines
What is a Transform? • A transform inputs one function and outputs another.
DFT • In 1969, the 2048 point analysis of a seismic trace took 13 ½ hours. Using the FFT, the same task on the same machine took 2.4 seconds!
Fast Fourier Transform • an efficient DFT algorithm • used by Gauss in 18?? • published by Cooley & Tukey in 1965

Effect of changing sample rate • Lowering the sample rate: • Reduces the Nyquist frequency, which • Reduces the maximum measurable frequency
Reducing the sampling duration • Lowers the frequency resolution • Does not affect the range of frequencies you can measure
