Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Analysis
The Fast Fourier Transform is an efficient algorithm for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), enabling frequency domain analysis of digital signals with O(N log N) computational complexity.
Key Concepts
- Transforms signals from time domain to frequency domain
- Reveals which frequencies are present in a signal
- Essential for signal analysis and digital signal processing
- Used everywhere: from music apps to radar systems
