Frequency domain
It is possible that not all the important
features are available in the time domain and
therefore it is possible to transform the signal.
The goal of a signal transformation (for
example, from the time in the frequency
domain) is to provide information that is not
visible in the time domain. This transformation
from the time into the frequency domain is
made by use of the Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT).
The FFT algorithm is an extremely
efficient way of calculating the so-called
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The actual
equation for the forward transform is:
