In this podcast, we take a look at different aspects of the Fourier Transform, how it is used and how it works. My aim is to make the Fourier Transform accessible to people who, like me, need it explained to them layman's terms.If you have a question about the Fourier Transform that you would like answered, or maybe you use the Fourier Transform in an interesting way, I'd love to hear from you.

    Better audio engineering with the Fourier Transform

    Better audio engineering with the Fourier Transform

    The Fourier Transform has made a huge contribution to almost every area of audio engineering. From individual filters to full mastering suites; from tuning your guitar to how we store and transmit sound, the Fourier Transform is there ferreting out every bit of frequency information from your time-based audio signal.
    In this episode, we look at a few examples of how the Fourier Transform has revolutionized the way engineers work with sound.

    Preventative Maintenance, life saving technology with the Fourier Transform

    Preventative Maintenance, life saving technology with the Fourier Transform

    Preventative Maintenance is where we monitor the "health" of a system. If something in the system begins to wear out, we can take it offline for maintenance or repair BEFORE something goes seriously wrong.
    In this podcast, we’ll investigate how the Fourier Transform can be used to listen to the health of an airplane's jet engine in much the same way a doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your heart, a simple, non-invasive procedure that can save lives.

    I also answer a listener's question on how the Fourier Transform is used in Filter Banks, as well as giving an update on my progress on the "How the Fourier Transform Works" online course.

    Introduction

    Introduction

    The Fourier Transform is everywhere. Few are the days in your life where you won’t pick up a piece of technology that implements it to provide you with pictures, videos, music, a phone call, and all manner of everyday applications. 

    However, its very ubiquity means we take The Fourier Transform very much for granted and few are the people that really understand how it works. One of the reasons for this may be that, on the face of it, the maths can seem a little complicated.

    In this episode, we look at what the Fourier Transform is and I describe my own journey from mathematical ignoramus to actually understanding how the Fourier Transform works.
