Hartley Transform - Relation To Fourier Transform

Relation To Fourier Transform

This transform differs from the classic Fourier transform in the choice of the kernel. In the Fourier transform, we have the exponential kernel: where i is the imaginary unit.

The two transforms are closely related, however, and the Fourier transform (assuming it uses the same normalization convention) can be computed from the Hartley transform via:

That is, the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier transform are simply given by the even and odd parts of the Hartley transform, respectively.

Conversely, for real-valued functions f(t), the Hartley transform is given from the Fourier transform's real and imaginary parts:

where and denote the real and imaginary parts of the complex Fourier transform.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or transform:

    Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to one another. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
