Fourier transforms spatial

FbwO) is the Fourier transformation of effective beam width as a function of spatial frequency / Fuff) is the MTF of the XRll. Because of the XRll windows curvature, projection data must be transformed to obtain uniform pixel spacing, described by Errors in object centre... 

If f is a function of several spatial coordinates and/or time, one can Fourier transform (or express as Fourier series) simultaneously in as many variables as one wishes. You can even Fourier transform in some variables, expand in Fourier series in others, and not transform in another set of variables. It all depends on whether the functions are periodic or not, and whether you can solve the problem more easily after you have transformed it. 

One of the most common ways of characterizing complexity is by taking Fourier transforms. The spatial power spectrum of a time series of [Pg.394]

Much of the regularity in classical systems can often be best discerned directly by observing their spatial power spectra (see section 6.3). We recall that in the simplest cases, the spectra consist of few isolated discrete peaks in more complex chaotic evolutions, we might get white noise patterns (such as for elementary additive rules). A discrete fourier transform (/ ) of a typical quantum state is defined in the most straightforward manner ... 

We are now ready to derive an expression for the intensity pattern observed with the Young s interferometer. The correlation term is replaced by the complex coherence factor transported to the interferometer from the source, and which contains the baseline B = xi — X2. Exactly this term quantifies the contrast of the interference fringes. Upon closer inspection it becomes apparent that the complex coherence factor contains the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the apparent source distribution I(1 ) taken at a spatial frequency s = B/A (with units line pairs per radian ). The notion that the fringe contrast in an interferometer is determined by the Fourier transform of the source intensity distribution is the essence of the theorem of van Cittert - Zemike. 

The fundamental quantity for interferometry is the source s visibility function. The spatial coherence properties of the source is connected with the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the spatial intensity distribution on the ce-setial sphere by virtue of the van Cittert - Zemike theorem. The measured fringe contrast is given by the source s visibility at a spatial frequency B/X, measured in units line pairs per radian. The temporal coherence properties is determined by the spectral distribution of the detected radiation. The measured fringe contrast therefore also depends on the spectral properties of the source and the instrument.

By means of this procedure our problem is not only reduced from three to two dimensions, but also is the statistical noise in the scattering data considerably reduced. Multiplication by —4ns2 is equivalent to the 2D Laplacian89 in physical space. It is applied for the purpose of edge enhancement. Thereafter the 2D background is eliminated by spatial frequency filtering, and an interference function G(s 2,s ) is finally received. The process is demonstrated in Fig. 8.27. 2D Fourier transform of the interference function... 

This effect induces a free induction decay (FID) signal in the detection circuit. The FID can be measured, and the normal absorption spectrum can be obtained by means of an inverse Fourier transform. A variety of experimental extensions have been developed for this approach. By means of particular pulse sequences it is possible to detect spin resonances selectively on the basis of a broad ensemble of properties such as spatial proximity and dipolar coupling strengths. The central fundamental quantity of interest is, however, still the energy spectrum of the nuclear spin,...
