What is correlation in Fourier transform?

When the Fourier transform is an FFT, the correlation is said to be a “fast” correlation. The approach requires that each time segment be transformed into the frequency domain after it is windowed. Overlapping windows temporally isolate the signal by amplitude modulation with an apodizing function.

How do you find cross-correlation with FFT?

We can compute correlations using the FFT as follows: FFT the two data sets, multiply one resulting transform by the complex conjugate of the other, and inverse transform the product. The result (call it rk) will formally be a complex vector of length N.

What is cross-correlation in frequency domain?

According to the cross-correlation theorem : the cross-correlation between two signals is equal to the product of fourier transform of one signal multiplied by complex conjugate of fourier transform of another signal.

How to calculate cross-correlation?

Cross-Correlation

It is calculated simply by multiplying and summing two-time series together. In the following example, graphs A and B are cross-correlated but graph C is not correlated to either.
