This suite of 32 Maple worksheets provides the diagrams from the acclaimed book "A New Twist to Fourier Transforms" and the code needed to derive and modify them. The worksheets enable engineering instructors to illustrate Fourier transforms and their diverse applications in a dynamic and impactful way. Emphasis is on visual representation of spiral and helical functions.
Applications include:
- Radar and sonar echo signals
- Television signals
- Modulation and demodulation
- Circularly polarized waves
- And more
