Fourier Transform Spectroscopy - Converting Spectra From Time Domain To Frequency Domain

Converting Spectra From Time Domain To Frequency Domain

S(t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty I(\nu) e^{- i\nu 2\pi t}\,d\nu

The sum is performed over all contributing frequencies to give a signal S(t) in the time domain.

I(\nu) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty S(t) e^{i\nu 2\pi t}dt

gives non-zero value when S(t) contains a component that matches the oscillating function.
Remember that

Famous quotes containing the words converting, time, domain and/or frequency:

    “A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “This form, this face, this life
    Living to live in a world of time beyond me; let me
    Resign my life for this life, my speech for that unspoken,
    The awakened, lips parted, the hope, the new ships.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “You are the harvest and not the reaper
    And of your domain another is the keeper.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
