3.5. 2N-point FFT from N-point FFTs.
3.6. Inverse Fourier transform
4. The Fourier transform in physics.
4.1. Examples of acoustic spectra.
4.2. Electronic circuits.
4.3. Telecommunication signals.
4.4. Spectroscopy.
4.5. Fourier transform in optics.
4.6. Quantum mechanics
5. Beyond the Fourier transform spectroscopy.
5.1. LP method.
5.2. ME method.
5.3. LPC examples.
5.4. LPC cepstrum.
This book demonstrates Microsoft EXCEL®-based Fourier transform of selected physics examples, as well as describing spectral density of the auto-regression process in relation to Fourier transform. Rather than offering rigorous mathematics, the book provides readers with an opportunity to gain an understanding of Fourier transform through the examples. They will acquire and analyze their own data following the step-by-step procedure outlined, and a hands-on acoustic spectral analysis is suggested as the ideal long-term student project.
