The Fourier Transform and Its Applications

Fülszöveg

This popular electrical engineering text and professional reference explains transform methods and how to apply them to electrical subsystems: circuits, antennas, signal processors, and alsó to the interconnecting continuous-time signals, pulse sequences, and discrete time signals. Transform methods, once grasped, are the key to a remarkable variety of fields, affording efficient entry into each new field with little more effort than learning unfamiliar symbols and terms. Optical diffraction, heat conduction, diffusion of charge carriers in semiconductors, probability, random signals, and nőise are among the engineering applications presented. The Fourier Transform has become indispensable for understanding medical imaging (X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound), geophysical and civil mapping, remote sensing, optical spectroscopy and crystallography in biomedicine and chemistry, and wherever electronic instrumentation migrates bevond its electrical homeland.

The Fourier Transform has become indispensable for understanding medical imaging (X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound), geophysical and civil mapping, remote sensing, optical spectroscopy and crystallography in biomedicine and chemistry, and wherever electronic instrumentation migrates bevond its electrical homeland. Key features of the text include: • All mathematics is clarified graphically. • Signal processing, both continuous and discrete, is now unified. • Do-it-yourself computer code and MATLAB® examples. • Applications: How basic theory gives access to areas of optics, antennas, interferometry, statistics, nőise, heat, and semiconductor diffusion. • Extensive reference tables. • Authoritative treatment by an author who has made many fundamental contributions to the field. "Although I consider alternative texts now and then ... I always return to Bracewell because of the wonderful perspective he brings to the subject. ... I place great emphasis on skills development, and generally receive warm thanks from students who, for example, had known for several years what convolution was but never really knew how to do it. For that kind of emphasis, I deíinitely find Bracewell's text best." Dr. William T. Rhodes School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Vissza
