DFT and FFT

DFT transforms a finite sequence of equally-spaced samples of a function into a same-length sequence of equally-spaced samples in the frequency domain.
X[k] is the k-th element of the frequency domain sequence.
N, the number of samples in the time domain, is usually a power of two (e.g., 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc.) for efficient digital data storage and FFT algorithm operation.
Typically, N is selected between 32 and 4096.

Introduction to Fourier Transform

Historical background: Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier introduced the concept of representing periodic/non-periodic functions as a series of sines and cosines in his work "Théorie analytique de la chaleur" (1822).
Definition: The FT converts a time-domain signal into a frequency-domain representation, offering insights not readily apparent in the time domain.
The Continuous Fourier Transform of a time-domain signal f(t) is given by: F(ω) = ∫[−∞∞] f(t) e^−iωt dt.
