In time domain measurements, the electrochemical system is subjected to a potential variation that is the resultant of many frequencies, like a pulse or white noise signal, and the time-dependent current from the cell is recorded. The stimulus and the response can be converted via Fourier transform methods to spectral representations of amplitude and phase angle frequency, from which the desired impedance can be computed as a function of frequency. 

The current noise is removed by calculating the transfer functions (the amplitude ratio between the two in the frequency domain) between the horizontal channels and the vertical channel in the absence of earthquakes and then subtracting the horizontal channels times this transfer function from the vertical channel. Next, the transfer function between the pressure channel and the vertical channel is calculated, and the pressure data times this transfer function is subtracted from the vertical channel. If Gaa(/) is the power spectral density (mean squared fast Fourier transform (FFT) over several windows) of the channel we want to remove noise from, Gss(f) is the power spectral density of the channel containing the noise source, and Cas(/) is the coherency between them, then the transfer function is defined as... 

In electron-spin-echo-detected EPR spectroscopy, spectral infomiation may, in principle, be obtained from a Fourier transfomiation of the second half of the echo shape, since it represents the FID of the refocused magnetizations, however, now recorded with much reduced deadtime problems. For the inhomogeneously broadened EPR lines considered here, however, the FID and therefore also the spin echo, show little structure. For this reason, the amplitude of tire echo is used as the main source of infomiation in ESE experiments. Recording the intensity of the two-pulse or tliree-pulse echo amplitude as a function of the external magnetic field defines electron-spm-echo- (ESE-)... 

Remember from Chapter 4 that the periods and frequencies of waves are reciprocally related.) Exactly those properties are expressed by their reciprocal lattice vectors h. The amplitudes of these electron density waves vary according to the distribution of atoms about the planes. Although the electron density waves in the crystal cannot be observed directly, radiation diffracted by the planes (the Fourier transforms of the electron density waves) can. Thus, while we cannot recombine directly the spectral components of the electron density in real space, the Bragg planes, we can Fourier transform the scattering functions of the planes, the Fhki, and simultaneously combine them in such a way that the end result is the same, the electron density in the unit cell. In other words, each Fhki in reciprocal, or diffraction space is the Fourier transform of one family of planes, hkl. With the electron density equation, we both add these individual Fourier transforms together in reciprocal space, and simultaneously Fourier transform the result of that summation back into real space to create the electron density. 

A 2D NMR experiment can lead to a data set that is either phase modulated or amplitude modulated as a function of fj, depending on the particular experiment and coherence pathways selected. A regular ID spectrum consists of absorption A(p) and dispersion peaks corresponding to the real and imaginary parts of the spectral lines, respectively. In 2D experiments, phase modulation in fj results in twisted 2D real lineshapes as a result of the Fourier transformation of bi-exponential time domain... 

S-ij,(P) is the amplitude of the detected coherence, which is a complicated function of RF pulse intensity and duration as well as spinning speed. After Fourier transformation, the second-order quadrupolar and isotropic chemical shifts of any observed signals can be readily inferred from their FI and F2 positions. This procedure is useful for signals with or without well-defined spectral features. For an exposition of this technique at the introductory level, readers are referred to an article by Chan. ... 

The result is that the Fourier transform of a monochromatic source is not an infinitely narrow line, but has the shape of the (sinx)/jc function. As shown in Fig. 5.3a right, this function is centred about v = 0 and intersects the v axis at V = n/2l, where n = 1, 2, 3,..., so that the first intersection occurs at a wave-number 1/2/. Obviously, the main maximum at v = 0 has a series of negative and positive side lobes or feet with diminishing amplitudes. These side lobes cause a leakage of the spectral intensity, i.e. the intensity is not strictly... 

As the side lobes do not correspond to actually measured information but rather represent an artefact due to the abrupt truncation, it is desirable to reduce their amplitude. The process that attenuates the spurious feet in the spectral domain is known as apodization (originating from the Greek word aTToSoo , which means without feet ). In other words, apodization is the removal of the side lobes by multiplying the interferogram by a suitable function before the Fourier transformation is carried out. The price paid for suppressing the side lobes is that one has to accept a broadening of spectral lines.
