Many references are available in the area of Fourier transformation. But some differences are found in the mathematical expressions provided in the references. These circumstances prohibit beginners from understanding and using Fourier transformation method. In this paper, relating mathematical expressions are epitomized and some numerical results are compared and interpreted to understand Fourier transformation. Fourier transformation results are displayed for representative input signals and some characteristics are summarized.

The reflectance spectrum of optical films thicker than a few microns shows an intensity oscillation due to interference. Since the spectral period of the oscillation is inversely related to film thickness, the thickness of an optical film can be determined from the spectral frequency of the oscillation. For rapid data processing, the spectral frequency is obtained by use of a Fast Fourier Transformation technique. The conventional method of applying a Fast Fourier Transformation to the reflectance spectrum versus photon energy is modified so as to clear the ambiguity in choosing the proper effective refractive index value and to prevent the broadening of the Fourier transformed peak due to the refractive index dispersion. This technique of modified Fast Fourier Transformation is suggested by the authors for the first time to their knowledge. From the analysis of the calculated reflectance spectrum of a 30-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick dielectric film. it is shown to improve the accuracy in determining film thickness by a great amount. The improved accuracy of the modified Fast Fourier Transformation is also confirmed from the analysis of the reflectance spectra of a sample with 80-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick cover layer and 13-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thick spacer layer on a PC substrate.

In this review, the fundamental concepts of delta function, convolution integral and Fourier transformation are discussed. The applications of Fourier transformation to slit function, two very narrow slits, two slits of appreciable width, periodic array of narrow slits, arbitary periodic function, diffraction gratings and gaussian functions are also introduced.

Fast Fourier Transformation is employed to convert the head variation of a pipeline in the time domain to the amplitude of the frequency domain. Applying method of characteristics to a pipeline provides a significant frequency range for a surge introduced from the valve modulation. Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation and a Finite Impulse Response Filter can be used to remove any possible noise existing from the significant frequency range of an unsteady condition. A filtered signal shows higher potential for the inverse calculation of leakage detection than the noise-added signal does. The respective performances of Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation and a Finite Impulse Response Filter are compared in terms of leakage detection capability. Characteristics of the frequency range for multiple leakages were investigated to validate the effectiveness of the noise control method in the frequency domain.

A goal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is reproducing a spatial map of the effective spin density from the measured Fourier coefficients of a specimen. The imaging procedure can be done by inverse Fourier transformation or backward fast Fourier transformation if the data are sampled on a regular grid in frequency space; however, it is still a challenging question how to reconstruct an image from a finite set of Fourier data on irregular points in k-space. In this paper, we describe some mathematical and numerical properties of imaging techniques from non-uniform MR data using the pseudo-inverse or the diagonal-inverse weight matrix. This note is written as an easy guide to readers interested in the non-uniform MRI techniques and it basically follows the ideas given in the paper by Greengard-Lee-Inati [10, 11].

Spatially resolved liquid volume fractions from a set of line-of-sight laser diffraction measurements for axisymmetric sprays generated from a pintle-type gasoline injector have been tomographically reconstructed by Abel transformation, Fourier transformation and onion peeling method. Spatially resolved liquid volume fractions classified into 32 size groups were translated characteristics of SI engine fuel sprays. These data were also obtained from the phase Doppler measurements for the same sprays. The comparison between laser deffraction measurements and transformation reconstructs more reasonable spatially resolved characteristics for axisymmetric sprays as well as for asymmetric sprays.

The coupled vibration occurs between traveling vehicle and bridge, when vehicle runs on it. The natural frequency of this coupled system is dependent on the contact position of vehicle and bridge, that is, time-varying system. The calculations of these natural frequencies are very complicated, and often carried out by using Green function theory, series. But, these methods have any limitations, such as, supporting condition, boundary condition. In this paper, on the coupled system constructed by the concentrated mass and elastically supported beam, an analytical method of natural frequency is proposed by using Fourier sine transformation. The results are compared and discussed with numerically calculated ones.

The distributed-parameter structures expressed with the partial differential equations are considered as the infinite-dimensional dynamic system. For implementation of a controller in multivariate systems, it is necessary to derive the state-space reduced order model. By the eigensystem realization algorithm, we can yield tile subspace system with the Markov parameters derived from the measured frequency response function by the inverse discrete Fourier transformation. We also review the necessary conditions for the convergence of the approximation system and the error bounds in terms of the singular values of Markov-parameter matrices. To determine the natural frequencies and modal damping ratios, the modal coordinate transformation is applied to the realization system. The vibration test for a smart structure is performed to provide the records of frequency response functions used in the subspace system realization.

We prove a local unique continuation for Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equations with time independent coefficients. The method of proof combines a technique of Fourier-Gauss transformation and a Carleman inequality for parabolic operator.
