ifourier

Inverse Fourier transform.

Category: Mathematics > Calculus

Syntax

f = ifourier(F, w, t)

Returns the function of t whose Fourier transform is F(w).

Description

It undoes fourier under the same convention, so ifourier(fourier(f)) returns f for functions where both integrals exist. For example exp(-w^2) goes back to exp(-t^2/4)/(2*pi^(1/2)).

Input arguments

F
Symbolic expression in w.
w
Frequency variable.
t
Variable of the result.

Output arguments

f
Symbolic expression in t.

Example

Inverse of a Gaussian

syms w t
ifourier(exp(-w^2), w, t)
Output
ans = exp(-t^2/4)/(2*pi^(1/2))
