The Fourier transform. Part 2.

Posted byjoaquindrut December 23, 2022December 23, 2022

As promised, I derive the Fourier transform of a Gaussian, which is… just another Gaussian! Their widths are inversely related, reflecting the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, which is actually valid for any signal you may want to study with Fourier transforms.
Video. Notes.
