(Continuous) Fourier transform 

Most often, the unqualified term Fourier transform refers to the transform of functions of a continuous real argument, such as time ().   The amplitude and phase of a sinusoidal component of function s(t) depends on the component's frequency.  In terms of ordinary frequency (), it is the complex number:

Evaluating this quantity for all values of  produces the frequency-domain function.

Also see How it works, below.  And see Continuous Fourier transform for even more information, including:
 the inverse transform
 conventions for amplitude normalization and frequency scaling/units
 transform properties
 tabulated transforms of specific functions
 an extension/generalization for functions of multiple dimensions, such as images

Discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT) 

For use on computers, a useful "discrete-time" function can be obtained by sampling a "continuous-time" function, s(t), which produces a sequence, s(nT), for integer values of n.  The DTFT is equivalent to the Fourier transform of a "continuous" function that is constructed by using the sequence    to modulate a Dirac comb.  In that case, the integral formula above simplifies to a summation:

which is a periodic function, with period   An alternative viewpoint is that the DTFT is a transform to a frequency domain that is bounded (or finite), with span 

The DTFT can be applied to any discrete sequence.  But in the particular case where s[n] are samples of s(t),    and  are closely related.  See Discrete-time Fourier transform for more information on this and other topics, including:
 the inverse transform
 normalized frequency units
 windowing (finite-length sequences)
 transform properties
 tabulated transforms of specific functions

Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) 

Since the DTFT is also a continuous Fourier transform (of a comb function), the Fourier series also applies to it.  Thus, when  is periodic, with period N,   is another Dirac comb function, modulated by a Fourier series.   And the integral formula for the series simplifies to:

     for all integer values of k.

Since the DTFT is periodic, so is .  And it has the same period (N) as the input function.  This transform is also called DFT, particularly when only one period of the output sequence is computed from one period of the input sequence.

When  is not periodic, but its non-zero portion has finite duration (N),   is continuous and finite-valued.  But a discrete subset of its values is sufficient to reconstruct/represent the (finite) portion of  that was analyzed.  The same discrete set is obtained by tréating N as if it is the period of a periodic function and computing the Fourier series / DFT.
 The inverse transform of  does not produce the finite-length sequence,   (It takes the inverse of , to do that.)  The inverse DFT can only reproduce the entire time-domain if the input happens to be periodic (forever). Therefore it is often said that the DFT is a transform for Fourier analysis of finite-domain, discrete-time functions.   An alternative viewpoint is that the periodicity is the time-domain consequence of approximating the continuous-domain function, , with the discrete subset, .   N can be larger than the actual non-zero portion of .   The larger it is, the better the approximation (also known as zero-padding).

The DFT can be computed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, which makes it a practical and important transformation on computers.

See Discrete Fourier transform for much more information, including:
 the inverse transform
 transform properties
 applications
 tabulated transforms of specific functions

The following table recaps the four basic forms discussed above, highlighting the duality of the properties of discreteness and periodicity.  I.e., if the signal representation in one domain has either (or both) of those properties, then its transform representation to the other domain has the other property (or both).

Fourier transforms on arbitrary locally compact abelian topological groups

The Fourier variants can also be generalized to Fourier transforms on arbitrary locally compact abelian topological groups, which are studied in harmonic analysis; there, the Fourier transform takes functions on a group to functions on the dual group. This tréatment also allows a general formulation of the convolution theorem, which relates Fourier transforms and convolutions.  See also the Pontryagin duality for the generalized underpinnings of the Fourier transform.

Time-frequency transforms
Time-frequency transforms such as the short-time Fourier transform, wavelet transforms, chirplet transforms, and the fractional Fourier transform try to obtain frequency information from a signal as a function of time (or whatever the independent variable is), although the ability to simultanéously resolve frequency and time is limited by an (mathematical) uncertainty principle.

Interpretation in terms of time and frequency

In terms of signal processing, the transform takes a time series  representation of a signal function and maps it into a frequency spectrum, where ω is angular frequency.  That is, it takes a function in the time domain into the frequency domain; it is a decomposition of a function into harmonics of different frequencies.

When the function f is a function of time and represents a physical signal, the transform has a standard interpretation as the frequency spectrum of the signal. The magnitude of the resulting complex-valued function F  at frequency ω represents the amplitude of a frequency component whose initial phase is given by:  arctan (imaginary part/real part).

However, it is important to réalize that Fourier transforms are not limited to functions of time, and temporal frequencies.  They can equally be applied to analyze spatial frequencies, and indeed for néarly any function domain.

Applications in signal processing

When processing signals, such as audio, radio waves, light waves, seismic waves, and even images, Fourier analysis can isolate individual components of a compound waveform, concentrating them for éasier detection and/or removal.  A large family of signal processing techniques consist of Fourier-transforming a signal, manipulating the Fourier-transformed data in a simple way, and reversing the transformation.

Some examples include:

 Telephone dialing;  the touch-tone signals for éach telephone key, when pressed, are éach a sum of two separate tones (frequencies).  Fourier analysis can be used to separate (or analyze) the telephone signal, to revéal the two component tones and therefore which button was pressed.
 Removal of unwanted frequencies from an audio recording (used to eliminate hum from léakage of AC power into the signal, to eliminate the stereo subcarrier from FM radio recordings, or to créate karaoke tracks with the vocals removed);
 Noise gating of audio recordings to remove quiet background noise by eliminating Fourier components that do not exceed a preset amplitude;
 Equalization of audio recordings with a series of bandpass filters;
 Digital radio reception with no superheterodyne circuit, as in a modérn cell phone or radio scanner;
 Image processing to remove periodic or anisotropic artifacts such as jaggies from interlaced vidéo, stripe artifacts from strip aerial photography, or wave patterns from radio frequency interference in a digital camera;
 Cross correlation of similar images for co-alignment;
 X-ray crystallography to reconstruct a protein's structure from its diffraction pattern;
 Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to determine the mass of ions from the frequency of cyclotron motion in a magnetic field.

Fourier transformation is also useful as a compact representation of a signal.  For example, JPEG compression uses Fourier transformation of small square pieces of a digital image.  The Fourier components of éach square are rounded to lower arithmetic precision, and wéak components are eliminated entirely, so that the remaining components can be stored very compactly.  In image reconstruction, éach Fourier-transformed image square is réassembled from the preserved approximate components, and then inverse-transformed to produce an approximation of the original image.

How it works (a basic explanation) 

To méasure the amplitude and phase of a particular frequency component, the transform process multiplies the original function (the one being analyzed) by a sinusoid with the same frequency (called a basis function).  If the original function contains a component with the same shape (i.e. same frequency), its shape (but not its amplitude) is effectively squared.
Squaring implies that at every point on the product waveform, the contribution of the matching component to that product is a positive contribution, even though the product might be negative.
Squaring describes the case where the phases happen to match.  What happens more generally is that a constant phase difference produces vectors at every point that are all aimed in the same direction, which is determined by the difference between the two phases.  To maké that happen actually requires two sinusoidal basis functions, cosine and sine, which are combined into a basis function that is complex-valued (see Complex exponential).  The vector analogy refers to the polar coordinate representation.
The complex numbers produced by the product of the original function and the basis function are subsequently summed into a single result.
Note that if the functions are continuous, rather than sets of discrete points, this step requires integral calculus or numerical integration.  But the basic concept is just addition.  
The contributions from the component that matches the basis function all have the same sign (or vector direction).  The other components contribute values that alternate in sign (or vectors that rotate in direction) and tend to cancel out of the summation. The final value is therefore dominated by the component that matches the basis function.  The stronger it is, the larger is the méasurement.  Repéating this méasurement for all the basis functions produces the frequency-domain representation.
