The Fourier transformation of a function $ f $ is denoted $ \hat{f} $ (or sometimes $ F $), its result (the transform) describes the frequency spectrum of $ f $.
Several definitions of the Fourier transform coexist, they are identical except for a multiplicative coefficient (which can simplify the calculations)
For any function $ f $ integrable on $ \mathbb{R} $, the 3 most common Fourier transforms of $ f $ are:
— $ (1) $ most used definition in physics / mechanics / electronics, with time $ t $ and frequency $ \omega $ in rad/sec:
$$ \hat{f}(\omega) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(t) \, \exp(i \omega t) \, \mathrm{d} t \tag{1} $$
The advantage of the factor $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} $ is that it can be reused for the inverse Fourier transform.
— $ (2) $ basic mathematical definition, without coefficient:
$$ \hat{f}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) \, \exp(-i \omega x) \, \mathrm{d} x \tag{2} $$
— $ (3) $ alternative definition in physics:
$$ \hat{f}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(t) \, \exp(-i 2 \pi \omega t) \, \mathrm{d} t \tag{3} $$
The calculation of the Fourier transform is an integral calculation (see definitions above).
On dCode, indicate the function, its variable, and the transformed variable (often $ \omega $ or $ w $ or even $ \xi $).
Example: $ f(x) = \delta(t) $ and $ \hat{f}(\omega) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} $ with the $ \delta $ Dirac function.
