TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform is used for spectral analysis of periodical signals and some properties of the spectrum are analyzed, and it is demonstrated that the spectrum is strongly depended of signal duration.
Abstract: This paper analyses Fourier transform used for spectral analysis of periodical signals and emphasizes some of its properties. It is demonstrated that the spectrum is strongly depended of signal duration that is very important for very short signals which have a very rich spectrum, even for totally harmonic signals. Surprisingly is taken the conclusion that spectral function of harmonic signals with infinite duration is identically with Dirac function and more of this no matter of duration, it respects Heisenberg fourth uncertainty equation. In comparison with Fourier series, the spectrum which is emphasized by Fourier transform doesn’t have maximum amplitudes for signals frequencies but only if the signal lasting a lot of time, in the other situations these maximum values are strongly de-phased while the signal time decreasing. That is why one can consider that Fourier series is useful especially for interpolation of nonharmonic periodical functions using harmonic functions and less for spectral analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a representation for discrete-time signals and systems based on short-time Fourier analysis and showed that a class of linear-filtering problems can be represented as the product of the time-varying frequency response of the filter multiplied by the short time Fourier transform of the input signal.
Abstract: This paper develops a representation for discrete-time signals and systems based on short-time Fourier analysis. The short-time Fourier transform and the time-varying frequency response are reviewed as representations for signals and linear time-varying systems. The problems of representing a signal by its short-time Fourier transform and synthesizing a signal from its transform are considered. A new synthesis equation is introduced that is sufficiently general to describe apparently different synthesis methods reported in the literature. It is shown that a class of linear-filtering problems can be represented as the product of the time-varying frequency response of the filter multiplied by the short-time Fourier transform of the input signal. The representation of a signal by samples of its short-time Fourier transform is applied to the linear filtering problem. This representation is of practical significance because there exists a computationally efficient algorithm for implementing such systems. Finally, the methods of fast convolution age considered as special cases of this representation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a numerical technique for the computation of Fourier transforms using a bilateral expansion of the unknown transformed function with respect to Laguarre functions using trigonometric interpolation and may be computed very efficiently by means of the Fast Fourier Transform.
Abstract: In this paper we propose a numerical technique for the computation of Fourier transforms. It uses a bilateral expansion of the unknown transformed function with respect to Laguarre functions. The expansion coefficients are obtained via trigonometric interpolation and may be computed very efficiently by means of the Fast Fourier Transform. The convergence of the algorithm is analyzed and numerical results are presented which confirm that it works well.

TL;DR: A basis for the processing of EEG signals using the discrete, orthogonal set of Walsh functions provides sufficient justification for usage of Walsh spectral features in place of Fourier spectral features, enabling one to take advantage of the vast computational superiority of the fast Walsh transform over the fast Fourier transform.
Abstract: A basis for the processing of EEG signals using the discrete, orthogonal set of Walsh functions is presented. The Walsh power spectrum is examined from the point of view of its statistical properties, especially as it relates to spectral resolution. Features, selected from the spectrum of sleep EEG data are compared to corresponding Fourier features. Each feature set is used to classify the data using a minimum-distance clustering algorithm. The results show that the Walsh spectral features classify the data in much the same way as the Fourier spectral features. This provides sufficient justification for usage ofWalsh spectral features in place of Fourier spectral features, enabling one to take advantage of the vast computational superiority of the fast Walsh transform over the fast Fourier transform.

TL;DR: A simple twist, i.e., a shifting of information from rows to columns during the calculations, is introduced which allows us to give a simple meaning to intermediate results and assures that the final results need no further reordering.
Abstract: A simple, yet complete and detailed description of the fast Fourier transform for general N is given with the aim of making the underlying idea quite apparent. To help with this didactic goal, a simple twist, i.e., a shifting of information from rows to columns during the calculations, is introduced which allows us to give a simple meaning to intermediate results and assures that the final results need no further reordering.

TL;DR: An all-spherical-mirror system for applications in coherent image processing is described and analyzed and the Fourier transform properties of this one-to-one system are acceptable for many applications.
Abstract: An all-spherical-mirror system for applications in coherent image processing is described and analyzed. This one-to-one system is panchromatic and can be made to have minimal cosmetic defects. Such a system offers advantages such as multiple wavelength operations and the introduction of minimal scattering noise into the final image. A sample design that is diffraction-limited (for f/8) over the entire area of a standard 35-mm slide is given. The Fourier transform properties of this system are acceptable for many applications.

TL;DR: This correspondence introduces a new transform pair for any well behaved but arbitrary function f(t) and, thereafter, establishes two transform relationships between a band-limited function and its sample values.
Abstract: Sampling and reconstruction of band-limited functions are fundamental problems in communications and signal processing. This correspondence introduces a new transform pair for any well behaved but arbitrary function f(t) and, thereafter, establishes two transform relationships between a band-limited function and its sample values. This work can be viewed as yet another comment and extension on the sampling theorem.

TL;DR: A new fast computation algorithm for multidimensional DFTs by using a single polynomial transform and auxiliary calculations and all calculations are performed with a reduced number of additions by using FFT-type algorithms.
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a new fast computation algorithm for multidimensional DFTs. This method maps efficiently some multidimensional DFTs into one-dimensional DFTs by using a single polynomial transform and auxiliary calculations. The polynomial transform is computed without multiplications and all calculations are performed with a reduced number of additions by using FFT-type algorithms. The relationship with earlier polynomial transform approaches is explored and it is shown that the new method yields a simpler structure at the expense of a slight increase in number of arithmetic operations. Various techniques for reducing the auxiliary calculations are investigated and schemes which combine different polynomial transform techniques are presented.

TL;DR: A technique based on the recently developed rectangular transforms is proposed for computing the autocorrelation function of a data sequence, which is computationally more efficient than Rader's algorithm using the fast Fourier transform and the Winograd-Fourier transform algorithm when the number of desired lag values is smaller than 30.
Abstract: A technique based on the recently developed rectangular transforms is proposed for computing the autocorrelation function of a data sequence. The refinements suggested with the technique make it computationally more efficient than Rader's algorithm using the fast Fourier transform and the Winograd-Fourier transform algorithm, when the number of desired lag values is smaller than 30. However, the technique as such can be used for higher values.

TL;DR: A procedure is described for the computation of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) via the use of the arcsine transform, which eliminates time-consuming multiplications, the DCT being accomplished with only additions and table lookups.
Abstract: A procedure is described for the computation of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) via the use of the arcsine transform. The approach eliminates time-consuming multiplications, the DCT being accomplished with only additions and table lookups. While a fast Fourier transform (FFT) approach to computing the DCT involves on the order of N\log_{2}2N "butterfly" computations to evaluate all N coefficients, the arcsine method requires only 4N - 1 real additions and 2N table lookups to evaluate each DCT coefficient. Thus, for applications in which M coefficients are desired or when N is reasonably small (say, N \leq 256 ), the arcsine approach is favored over that of the FFT. Some approaches to hardware implementation are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the relations between bandlimited one-dimensional object-plane fields which yield the same intensity distribution in the Fraunhofer (Fourier transform) plane were investigated.
Abstract: We consider the relations between bandlimited one-dimensional object-plane fields which yield the same intensity distribution in the Fraunhofer (Fourier transform) plane. In the case in which the Fraunhofer-plane fields differ by the conjugation of a single zero, a simple relation results which appears useful in phase-retrieval algorithms.

TL;DR: In this article, a programmable memory correlator based on the acousto-photorefractive effect has been demonstrated using two distinct writing modes and writing-laser wavelengths.
Abstract: A number of signal-processing devices have been developed that use the Bragg interaction between laser beams and surface acoustic waves in transparent delay lines. Convolvers and correlators having time-bandwidth products of up to 10,000 have been constructed and have been used to obtain signal-to-noise enhancement of signals buried in noise. A real-time, continuous Fourier transformer has been achieved. Initial results have been obtained in performing a discrete Fourier transform using an acoustooptic implementation of the triple-product convolver. A programmable memory correlator based on the acousto-photorefractive effect has been demonstrated using two distinct writing modes and writing-laser wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Erikson intzgrated acoustic array system was modified to include acoustical holography, and the authors derived the system function which showed that the holographic processing is equivalent to standard sonar beamforming.
Abstract: We make an analysiv and feasibility studies of a new holographic system. We modify Erikson intzgrated acoustic array system to include acoustical holography. The advantage of using acoustical holography is to get three-dimensional images. We first have a system description based on that of Granger digital beamforming sonar system. Our system consists of: a hydrophone array, zn acoustic projector, a channel processor, a microprocessor system controller, a beamformer, and a storage display. The acoustic projector isonifies objects. We derive the system function which shows that the holographic processing is equivalent to standard sonar beamforming. For the holographic processing, we follow the Fourier transform method. This is sonar beamforming. We obtain fast holographic processing algorithms. The beam forminq is performed digitally using the Discrete Fourier Transform. A Fast Fourier Transform program was written using an in-plane algorithm with natural order input and scrambled output.
