Why is the frequency domain preferred over the time domain?
The frequency domain representation of a signal allows you to observe several characteristics of the signal that are either not easy to see, or not visible at all when you look at the signal in the time domain. For instance, frequency-domain analysis becomes useful when you are looking for cyclic behavior of a signal.
What is signal in time domain?
Time domain signal processing analyzes the input signal depending on the waveforms observed over a period of time. Time domain techniques emphasize the amplitude variation in a specific time period. This has many applications in speech processing and heavy vehicle classification.
What is the benefit of converting a time domain signal into a frequency domain signal?
The principal benefit of converting the time domain signal to a frequency domain signal is to understand the frequency components and to get the power spectral density.
Why time domain analysis is important?
Time domain analysis can provide transient response of a system to be analyzed and it is useful in understanding flow of both electrical and mechanical energies, such as structural change of a system, wave propagation, and electric potential generated by external excitations.
