Fourier Transform for a rectifier

Built for educators teaching it to a class. Drop a live demo into a lecture or assign it as a shareable link — no lab installs. Simulate a rectifier live below — adjust the inputs and watch it respond, right in your browser.

Fourier Transform (FFT)Live

decompose a signal into frequencies

Controls

Build a signal from a few sine tones plus noise, and the discrete Fourier transform recovers exactly which frequencies are present — the foundation of all signal processing.

Presets

Tone 1 frequency

Tone 2 frequency

Tone 3 frequency

Governing equation

X_{k} = n = 0 \sum N - 1 x_{n} e^{- 2 π ik n / N} (N = 256, O (N lo g N))

Reading this result: The FFT splits this 2-tone signal into bins: each input sinusoid at 4, 9 appears as a distinct spike, and with noise at 0 the baseline between them stays clean.
