Fourier Transforms
Before presenting the concept of Fourier transforms, we'll discuss the general
definition of an integral transform. In general, an integral transform is a
transformation that relates a function f(t) to a new function F(s) by an integration

of the form

kernel of the transformation.
The use of an integral transform allows us to resolve a function into a given
spectrum of components. To understand the concept of a spectrum, consider
the Fourier series
representing a periodic function with a period T. This Fourier series can be re-
