Week Three – Reflection on Lyons Reading
The Discrete Fourier Transform
From chapters one and two, Lyons launched into hyper warp drive with the discrete Fourier transform. Lyons states in his book that
The DFT enables us to analyze, manipulate, and synthesize signals in ways not possible with continuous (analog) signal processing. (Lyons, 45)
This interests me since I am currently studying analog synthesis techniques and use voltage controlled modular analog systems, which happen to have some limitations. My question concerns how to apply these wonderful processes to create complex signal processing systems.
I am certain that out of this confusion will come some brillian revelations because generally when one tries to comprehend complex sytems too quickly, one does not fully fathom or appreciate their usage.
