Читать книгу Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging With MATLAB Algorithms - Caner Ozdemir - Страница 15

Fourier transform (FT) is a common and useful mathematical tool that is utilized in innumerous applications in science and technology. FT is quite practical especially for characterizing nonlinear functions in nonlinear systems, analyzing random signals, and solving linear problems. FT is also a very important tool in radar imaging applications as we shall investigate in the forthcoming chapters of this book. Before starting to deal with the FT and inverse Fourier transform (IFT), a brief history of this useful linear operator, and its founders are presented.
