Spent weeks on the analysis and the result was yes, much to my dismay

Sometimes the math checks out but the heart doesn't. Pain of engineering life. At least you got data to back it up.

Classic: spent ages analyzing the spectrum, but in the end, I just needed to read between the lines...

I laughed so hard on this even my auto complete is not suggesting me anything funny

What did you just theta me?

u/stovenn 17h ago

More like MegaHerz.

u/AdZestyclose638 23h ago

ya the signal i wanted was to see her again, but turns out that part was purely imaginary

u/Snudget 21h ago

Absolutely

u/Korvanacor 1d ago

Maybe switch to a low (standards) pass filter?

u/lDantonl 18h ago

iFFT from the frequency domain to the time domain.

That's just noise bro

u/LowB0b 23h ago

not sure how you separate engineering from programming but fourier transforms are widely used in computing

127

u/big_guyforyou 23h ago

yeah it's just

import math

print(math.fourier_tranform('ZzzzZZZZzzZZzZZzZZZZzZZZ')) #passing in a noisy signal

u/Stummi 23h ago

You got me for a second here, ngl.

u/MattieShoes 14h ago

I mean... FFTs are in scipy, so it's pretty close

>>> from scipy.fft import fft
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.5])
>>> y = fft(x)

u/PeWu1337 16h ago

Me and my Data Transmission course can agree. Fucking Fourier will not let me sleep soundly

2

u/RackemFrackem 14h ago

Just not in programming

3

u/LowB0b 6h ago

I disagree. image processing is everywhere and fourier transforms are ubiquitous in that usecase because ultimately image processing is just signal processing

doesn't appear a lot in your standard CRUD apps tho that I will agree on

u/Glad-Belt7956 19h ago

Fun fact, the fourier transform is crucial in most high end water simulations for games and movies. They're highly relevant to programming.

u/WavingNoBanners 8h ago

Today I learned. Thanks, that's a cool fact!

u/Accide 19h ago

computer engineers rise up

we live in a heavily microcontroller using society

u/heckingcomputernerd 9h ago

I mean stuff like the FFT definitely falls into the realm of programming

As a cs major who fails this course i laugh too much

Turns out we're weren't on the same spectrum..

u/projectvibrance 23h ago

What class in college would I learn about this in?

53

u/SeedlessKiwi1 22h ago

Signals and systems, differential equations, any higher level circuits class.

Pretty much after sophomore year it was used everywhere. (Source: EE major)

u/Phoenix_Studios 17h ago

also electrical engineer, only had one signal processing class in year 2 that used fourier transform. Everything else was mostly just laplace.

5

u/moashforbridgefour 16h ago

My senior year involved like 5 classes using an absurd number of marginally different types of transformations. FFT, DFT, DTFT, LT...

u/SeedlessKiwi1 17h ago

It's been awhile since I graduated, but usually "Fourier analysis" was the term used anytime you broke a signal into periodic components to simplify the math (taking the analysis into the frequency domain). This included Laplace and Fourier transforms since Fourier is a specialized case of Laplace.

u/Sherlock___ohms 21h ago

Image processing?

7

u/rbeld 20h ago

I used Fourier transforms often in music information retrieval. Essentially processing audio and doing statistical analysis to determine characteristics of audio like tempo, chords, colour, etc.

It's a fun subject, plus the skills you learn are in demand.

u/Long-Account1502 19h ago

learned about it in visual computing

u/PandaBambooccaneer 15h ago

Signals and Systems, ELCT 222. I had to take it many times because i'm stupid.

3

u/MattieShoes 14h ago

I think just getting to the point where you're taking signals classes means not so stupid. :-D

5

u/Paracausality 18h ago

There's a faster way to transform them to what you want.

Turns out she had some high-frequency drama hidden in the noise

u/sharockys 23h ago

Doesn’t this belong to r/shittyaskelectronics ?

2

u/moashforbridgefour 16h ago

You're going to need complex analysis techniques since she is imaginary.

u/sriracha_cucaracha 16h ago

Ah the EEE and computer engineering grads are here

u/el_pablo 18h ago

If you don’t understand, you never went into engineering studies and you’re not a real software engineer.

u/smb275 20h ago

Brings back memories of using spec anis to watch TV when I was in Iraq.

u/zzzzsman 20h ago

I approve. As a test engineer, i approve

u/BigEdsHairMayo 18h ago

Shouldn't it be a spectrum analyzer? I know some scopes can do FFT, but that one doesn't look like it can, judging by how old it looks. This is obviously a very important comment, I know.

u/Smalltalker-80 17h ago

And discovered some random noise.. ?

u/Fineous40 16h ago

That is not a Fourier analysis though.

u/lake_huron 15h ago

She was a total fox.

So I did a Furrier analysis.

(...or did she just dress up like a fox?)

u/syntax1976 15h ago

Was it fast? Was it transforming?

The meme is incorrect, the oscilloscope shows a pure sine wave.
