What is the significance of the frequency domain in signal analysis?

• It helps in analyzing the spatial components present in a signal.

• It is irrelevant in signal analysis.

• It helps in analyzing the frequency components present in a signal.

• It only works for digital signals.

How can the Fourier Transform be used to analyze the frequency components of a signal?

• By counting the number of samples in the signal

• By applying the Fourier Transform to a signal, we can obtain a frequency spectrum that shows the amplitude and phase of each frequency component present in the signal.

• By dividing the signal into time intervals

• By applying the Laplace Transform instead

Discuss the concept of spectral leakage in the context of Fourier Transform.

• Spectral leakage is a term used to describe the loss of signal power during Fourier Transform.

• Spectral leakage is the perfect representation of all frequencies in a signal without any distortion.

• Spectral leakage is the phenomenon where energy from one frequency leaks into other frequencies due to the finite duration of the signal being analyzed.

• Spectral leakage only occurs in signals with infinite duration.

Explain the concept of windowing in the context of Fourier Transform analysis.

• Windowing is the process of dividing the signal into multiple segments for analysis

• Windowing in Fourier Transform analysis is the process of multiplying a signal by a window function to reduce spectral leakage and improve frequency resolution.

• Windowing involves removing certain frequencies from the signal before analysis

• Windowing is only applicable to time-domain signals, not frequency-domain signals
