Why does Fourier give me a different picture than ImagePeriodogram?

I want to take a 2D fourier transform of some data, but when I try this I get unexpected results. When I use ImagePeriodogram I get something that looks like I ...

Get frequency axis in Fourier transform (and save them)

I am trying to get the Fourier transform of a light-curve (with an even number of points, 300, and equally spaced in time, 6.9 seconds) and my problem is to get the frequency on the x-axis. I can ...

Discrete Fourier transformation from ASCII (for noob)

I am not familiar with Mathematica (I am a physicist programming in Fortran) and my knowledge of it is very limited, unfortunately. I would like to perform the Fourier trasform of a lightcurve which ...

2D Fourier transform of a diffraction pattern Mathematica vs FourierPainter

We are trying to make sense of the numbers provided by the PC program FourierPainter for a 2D Fourier Transform of a diffraction pattern. We would like to evaluate the ratio of the zeroth harmonic ...

DFT: Fourier Plot Not Giving Expected Result

I'm trying use Mathematica to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of a table of data points and then plot the result. As a test run, I took values from the function $x=f(t)=\sin(2\pi t)$ for ...

frequency shift in Fourier transform

Have a bit of an analysis issue with Fourier transform of a sinusoidal signal: I have a piece of signal that represents spatial scanning of a pattern. xcoordinate is distance and y is amplitude. I'm ...

Correct Fourier scaling and high-resolution frequency identification

I have a dataset of amplitude versus time $(t,A(t))$ and I need to extract the dominant frequency and amplitude, and also get the amplitude at one other specific frequency. My data looks like this: <...

Why Fourier transform is symmetric no matter what interval I choose? [duplicate]

I'm solving a vibration problem. After solving two systems of ODEs (one valid in 0-0.1 and the other in 0.1-1) I get the plot of 3 functions, one of them is this, the plot of the variable $y_w$ (Image ...

Plotting the frequency spectrum of a data series using Fourier

testData = Table[N@Sin[500 x], {x, 0, 100}]; ListLinePlot[Abs[Fourier[testData]], PlotRange -> Full] Gives me Which I do not expect because the Fourier ...

How to do the Fourier transform of a picture? [duplicate]

I want to generate Fourier transforms of a picture. the transform can represent the diffraction pattern of the picture. Basically, if I have a picture. Then, the result should look like this: For a ...
