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 such a time as this it is not meet
    That every nice offence should bear his comment.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When it had long since outgrown his purely medical implications and become a world movement which penetrated into every field of science and every domain of the intellect: literature, the history of art, religion and prehistory; mythology, folklore, pedagogy, and what not.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “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)
