The "Fast Fourier Transform" (FFT) is an important measurement method in the science of audio and acoustics measurement. It converts a signal into individual spectral components and thereby provides frequency information about the signal.
What is the result of FFT?
The FFT function returns a result equal to the complex, discrete Fourier transform of Array. The result of this function is a single- or double-precision complex array.
What does an FFT spectrum show?
The resulting digital time record is then mathematically transformed into a frequency spectrum using an algorithm known as the Fast Fourier Transform, or FFT. The FFT is simply a clever set of operations which implements Fourier's theorem. The resulting spectrum shows the frequency components of the input signal.
