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)

    “In time the Rockies may crumble,
    Gibraltar may tumble.”
    —Ira Gershwin (1896–1983)

    “The vice named surrealism is the immoderate and impassioned use of the stupefacient image or rather of the uncontrolled provocation of the image for its own sake and for the element of unpredictable perturbation and of metamorphosis which it introduces into the domain of representation; for each image on each occasion forces you to revise the entire Universe.”
    —Louis Aragon (1897–1982)

    “The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
    —Jean Marzollo (20th century)
