It is shown that the convenient processing facilities of digital signals that varying in a finite range of amplitudes are non-binary Galois fields, the numbers of which elements are equal to prime numbers. Within choosing a sampling interval which corresponding to such a Galois field, it becomes possible to construct a Galois field Fourier transform, a distinctive feature of which is the exact correspondence with the ranges of variation of the amplitudes of the original signal and its digital spectrum. This favorably distinguishes the Galois Field Fourier Transform of the proposed type from the spectra, which calculated using, for example, the Walsh basis. It is also shown, that Galois Field Fourier Transforms of the proposed type have the same properties as the Fourier transform associated with the expansion in terms of the basis of harmonic functions. In particular, an analogue of the classical correlation, which connected the signal spectrum and its derivative, was obtained. On this basis proved, that the using of the proposed type of Galois fields makes it possible to develop a complete analogue of the transfer function apparatus, but only for signals presented in digital form.

Abstract. The standard method of calculating the spectrum of a digital signal is based on the Fourier transform, which gives the amplitude and phase spectra at a set of equidistant frequencies from signal samples taken at equal intervals. In this paper a different method based on stochastic inversion is introduced. It does not imply a fixed sampling rate, and therefore it is useful in analysing geophysical signals which may be unequally sampled or may have missing data points. This could not be done by means of Fourier transform without preliminary interpolation. Another feature of the inversion method is that it allows unequal frequency steps in the spectrum, although this property is not needed in practice. The method has a close relation to methods based on least-squares fitting of sinusoidal functions to the signal. However, the number of frequency bins is not limited by the number of signal samples. In Fourier transform this can be achieved by means of additional zero-valued samples, but no such extra samples are used in this method. Finally, if the standard deviation of the samples is known, the method is also able to give error limits to the spectrum. This helps in recognising signal peaks in noisy spectra.

The linear canonical transform (LCT) provides a unified treatment of the generalized Fourier transforms in the sense that it is an embodiment of several well-known integral transforms including the Fourier transform, fractional Fourier transform, Fresnel transform. Using this fascinating property of LCT, we, in this paper, constructed associated wavelet packets. First, we construct wavelet packets corresponding to nonuniform Multiresolution analysis (MRA) associated with LCT and then those corresponding to vector-valued nonuniform MRA associated with LCT. We investigate their various properties by means of LCT.

Bhimasankaram et al. (1977) used Fourier spectrum analysis for a direct approach to the interpretation of gravity anomaly over a finite inclined dike. They derived several equations from the real and imaginary components and from the amplitude and phase spectra to relate various parameters of the dike. Because the width 2b of the dike (Figure 1) appears only in sin (ωb) term—ω being the angular frequency—they determined its value from the minima/zeroes of the amplitude spectra. The theoretical Fourier spectrum uses gravity field data over an infinite distance (length), whereas field observations are available only for a limited distance. Thus, a set of observational data is viewed as a product of infinite‐distance data with an appropriate window function. Usually, a rectangular window of appropriate distance (width) and of unit magnitude is chosen for this purpose. The Fourier transform of the finite‐distance and discrete data is thus represented by convolution operations between Fourier transforms of the infinite‐distance data, the window function, and the comb function. The combined effect gives a smooth, weighted average spectrum. Thus, the Fourier transform of actual observed data may differ substantially from theoretic data. The differences are apparent for low‐ and high‐frequency ranges. As a result, the minima of the amplitude spectra may change considerably, thereby rendering the estimate of the width of the dike unreliable from the roots of the equation sin (ωb) = 0.

The mathematical structure of the Fourier transformations of theoretical gravity anomalies of several geometrically simple bodies appears to have distinct advantages in the interpretation of these anomalies. However, the practical application of this technique is dependent upon the transformation of an observed gravity anomaly of finite length. Ideally, interpretation methods similar to those for the transformations of the theoretical gravity anomalies should be developed for anomalies of a finite length. However, the mathematical complexity of the convolution integrals in the transform calculations of theoretical anomaly segments indicate that no general closed analytical solution useful for interpretation is available. Thus, in order to utilize the Fourier transform interpretation method, the data must be of sufficient length for the finite transform to closely approximate the theoretical transforms.

Introduction. Spectral synthesis is the study of whether functions in a certain set, usually a translation invariant subspace (a variety), can be synthesized from certain simple functions, exponential monomials, which are contained in the set. This problem is transformed by considering the annihilator ideal in the dual space, and after taking the Fourier transform the problem becomes one of deciding whether a function is in a certain ideal, that is, we have a ‘division problem’. Because of this we must take into consideration the possibility of the Fourier transforms of functions having zeros of order greater than or equal to 1. This is why, in the original situation, we study whether varieties are generated by their exponential monomials, rather than just their exponential functions. This viewpoint of the problem as a division question, of course, perhaps throws light on why Wiener's Tauberian theorem works, and is implicit in the construction of Schwartz's and Malliavin's counter examples to spectral synthesis in L1(G) (cf. Rudin ((4))).

AbstractFourier transform methods of smoothing and interpolation are applied to X-ray diffraction data. It is shown that, frequently, too small a step size is used. Major gains are to be expected by selection of the optimum step size and use of these methods.A comparison of Fourier transforms of diffractograms of quartz measured between 67 and 69° 2θ, collected at varying step intervals (0.1 to 0.01° 2θ) was used to illustrate these applications. By examining the Fourier transform of the diffractogram and noting where it decays to die baseline, a reasonable estimate of the optimal step interval can be obtained. In addition, Fourier interpolation can be used to enhance the appearance of the diffractogram, approximating a continuous plot.

We report on inversion of the Fourier transform when the frequency variable can be scaled in a variety of different ways that improve the resolution of certain parts of the frequency domain. The corresponding inverse Fourier transform is shown to exist in the form of two dual scale-frequency series. Upon discretization of the continuous scale factor, this Fourier transform series inverse becomes a certain nonharmonic double series, a discretized scale-frequency (DSF) series. The DSF series is also demonstrated, theoretically and practically, to be rate-optimizable with respect to its two free parameters, when it satisfies, as an entropy maximizer, a pertaining recursive nonlinear programming problem incorporating the entropy-based uncertainty principle.

AbstractUncertainty principles like Heisenberg's assert an inequality obeyed by some measure of joint uncertainty associated with a function and its Fourier transform. The more groups under which that measure is invariant, the more that measure represents an intrinsic property of the underlying object represented by the given function. The Fourier transform is imbedded in a continuous group of operators, the fractional Fourier transforms, but the Heisenberg measure of overall spread turns out not to be invariant under that group. A new family is developed of measures that are invariant under the group of fractional Fourier transforms and that obey associated uncertainty principles. The first member corresponds to Heisenberg's measure but is generally smaller than his although equal to it in special cases.

We study a connection between the L2 average decay of the Fourier transform of functions with respect to a given measure and the Hausdorff behaviour of that measure.

A classical Fock space consists of functions of the form,Φ↔(ϕ0,ϕ1,…,ϕq,…),whereϕ0∈Candϕq∈L2(R3q),q≥1. We will replace theϕq,q≥1withq-symmetric rapid descent test functions within tempered distribution theory. This space is a natural generalization of a classical Fock space as seen by expanding functionals having generalized Taylor series. The particular coefficients of such series are multilinear functionals having tempered distributions as their domain. The Fourier transform will be introduced into this setting. A theorem will be proven relating the convergence of the transform to the parameter,s, which sweeps out a scale of generalized Fock spaces.
