AB  -      The Fast Fourier Transforms for Technologists, Engineers, and Other Non-Ph.D.s                               William H. Blanton & Zhibin TanABSTRACT.The number of professional areas that Fourier transforms appear is impressive. Fouriertransforms play an important role in optics, medical imaging, acoustics, waveform analysis, andeven business analysis. Quite often the Fourier Transform is first encountered in a formalmathematics class as an afterthought to the study of the Fourier series. As needed, the Fouriertransform is revisited in senior level and graduate level courses. The relevancy of the Fouriertransform to many professional areas strongly qualifies the subject for introduction at an earlystage in one’s academic career. A good introduction to the Fourier transform is the fast Fouriertransform (FFT). The FFT is an efficient algorithm based on the discrete Fourier transform(DFT) for converting time domain sequences into frequency domain sequences. The resultsobtained by the FFT are exactly the same results that obtained by the DFT, not an approximationof the DFT. Whereas the evaluation of an N-point DFT requires N2 complex multiplications andadditions, the FFT method (assuming N is power of 2) requires N log2 N operations. Theinclusion of the FFT in the MATLAB function set provides a good entry point for the study ofthe Fourier transform by technologists, engineers, and other non-Ph.D.s.
