💡 How It Works (Simplified):

The Fourier Transform Viewer Tool converts a time-domain signal (x(t)) into its frequency-domain representation (X(f)), showing what frequencies are present and how strong they are.

🧮 Core Concept:

Every complex waveform can be expressed as a sum of simple sinusoids:

The tool identifies those frequencies (fₙ), amplitudes (Aₙ), and phases (φₙ) — then visualizes them in a clear spectrum plot.

📘 Example 1️⃣ – Single Frequency Signal

Input: x(t) = sin(2π50t)

✅ Result:
A frequency spike at 50 Hz, amplitude = 1.0.

📗 Example 2️⃣ – Composite Signal

Input: x(t) = sin(2π50t) + 0.5sin(2π120t)

✅ Result:
Two frequency peaks appear:

• 50 Hz (Amplitude = 1.0)

• 120 Hz (Amplitude = 0.5)

This shows how real-world waveforms are formed by multiple harmonic frequencies.

🧭 Perfect For:
