### Frequency Domain - Meaning [duplicate]

I'm new in digital signal processing and having hard time understanding this. By Fourier Transform I mean Discrete Fourier Transform as it's the only one I'm learning. As far as I know Fourier ...

### What is the most lucid, intuitive explanation for the various FTs - CFT, DFT, DTFT and the Fourier Series?

Even after having studied these for quite sometime, I tend to forget [if I'm out of touch for a while] how they are related to each other and what each stands for [since they have such similar ...

### Why is not Fourier Transform Good for Non-linear Processes

I was reading through slides about Hilbert Huang Transform. In slide 14, which talks about the motivations of a new method instead of Fourier Transform (FT), the author provides those two reasons in ...

### Alternative to Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) Algorithm

In the Compressed Sensing context, assume there is a signal $x \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}$ which is $k$ sparse. Namely its Pseudo ${\ell}_{0}$ Norm is ${\left\| x \right\|}_{0} = k$ (The signal has ...
