Abstract

These four Mathcad documents illustrate different aspects of the Fourier transform. They explore the source of the Nyquist frequency and the dependence of the resolution of the spectrum on sampling. The entire set of documents contains many student exercises and hands-on activities for learning the concepts presented.
