In the experiment entitled “Fourier Transform” the software MATLAB was used in order to solve and
execute the given equation. This experiment aims to help the students so that they may be able to (1)
define fourier transform (2) analyze the domain function to frequency domain and vice versa using
fourier transform (3) demonstrate the usage of MATLAB in computing fourier transform. This
experiment is divided into two parts. For the first part of the experiment the students are asked to solve
for the equation by applying the commands needed to perform the fourier transform with MATLAB. In
order to succeed in solving the equation the student used the symbolic toolbox in MATLAB. At first the
students must define the variables by entering the command syms t w and then they have to type in the
function and use the command fourier(f) in order for the system to calculate the fourier transform of the
equation inputted. And lastly, for the second part of the experiment the students were asked to solve
for the inverse fourier of an equation. At first the variables were set by using the command syms w t
and then the function of the equation is inputted so that when the students type in the command ifourier
(F,t) the system will prompt the inverse fourier of the equation.

Conclusion
After the experiment entitled “Fourier Transform” the students were able to create a code that was
able to solve the given equation they were able to concluded that by using the fourier command
fourier(f), MATLAB may be able to transform f(t) from the time domain to F(w) in the frequency
domain. Upon inputting the command ifourier (F,t) in MATLAB the system can find the inverse Fourier
transform of the function F(ω) from the frequency domain to the function f(t) in time domain T. The
ezplot command is use to plot the results. According to Bervelaca (2020), The Fourier Transform is a
device that breaks a waveform into an alternate representation, characterized by means of sine and
cosine. The Fourier Transform indicates that any waveform can be re-written as the sum of sinusoidal
functions.
