Because the DFT has a very wide range of applications in many different fields of science and technology (see end of Sec. 1.2), it is not surprising that the terminology used in the vast DFT literature is far from being consistent and uniform. In many cases different authors use different terms for the same entities, and what is even worse, the same terms are often used in different meanings by different authors. As a few examples among many others, let us mention here the various Fourier theorems (or “rules”; see Sec. 2.4), whose names greatly vary between different sources. For instance, the
inversion
rule [Kammler07 p. 199] is called
symmetry
rule in [Brigham88 p. 107], while in [Bracewell86 pp. 364–365] it is called
reciprocity
and the term
symmetry
is reserved to properties related to oddness and evenness [Bracewell86 p. 366]. Similarly, the
reflection
rule [Kammler07 p. 199] is called in [Bracewell86 p. 366]
reversal
while in [Nussbaumer82 p. 82] the term being used is
symmetry
(again!). Even the
aliasing
artifact is often called
foldover
, and the
leakage
artifact is sometimes called
ringing
[Brigham88 pp. 94, 106].
