Fourier Theory By- Mr. S. B. Ashtekar
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 and signals may be expanded into a series of sine and cosine functions http://www.falstad.com/fourier/j2/
The Fourier Transform • A transform takes one function (or signal) and turns it into another function (or signal)
The Fourier Transform • A transform takes one function (or signal) and turns it into another function (or signal) • Continuous Fourier Transform: close your eyes if you don’t like integrals
The Fourier Transform • A transform takes one function (or signal) and turns it into another function (or signal) • Continuous Fourier Transform:
The Fourier Transform • A transform takes one function (or signal) and turns it into another function (or signal) • The Discrete Fourier Transform:
Fast Fourier Transform • The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a very efficient algorithm for performing a discrete Fourier transform • FFT principle first used by Gauss in 18?? • FFT algorithm published by Cooley & Tukey in 1965 • 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!

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