A novel Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) rapid-scan spectrometer has been developed (patent pending EP14194520.4) which yields 1000 times higher time resolution as compared to conventional rapid-scanning spectrometers. The central element to achieve faster scanning rates is based on a sonotrode whose front face represents the movable mirror of the interferometer. A prototype spectrometer with...

This paper presents a morphing model of vector geographical data based on Fourier transformation. This model involves three main steps. They are conversion from vector data to Fourier series, generation of intermediate function by combination of the two Fourier series concerning a large scale and a small scale, and reverse conversion from combination function to vector data. By mirror processin...

The NASA New Millennium Program’s Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) requires highly accurate radiometric and spectral calibration in order to carry out its mission to provide water vapor, wind, temperature, and trace gas profiling from geostationary orbit. A calibration concept has been developed for the GIFTS Phase A instrument design. The in-flight calibration is pe...

Infrared imaging spectrometry is utilized to detect and identify targets by collecting spectral images. In some cases, the infrared images of dynamic need be detected accurately, such as during remote sensing target tracking engine tail flame detection applications. However, it difficult obtain reliable measurement results when using a traditional spectrometer with scanning structure because mo...

In this paper, we examine the accuracy of several calculation methods for iron loss of rotating machines using the finite element method. Two calculation methods are compared with the measurements. One is based on the Fourier transformation of the flux density waveforms at each finite element. The other is the direct calculation from the waveforms without Fourier transformation. It is clarified...

Computation of integrals of strongly oscillating functions is one of the more important problems of numerical analysis, because such integrals are encountered in applications in many branches of mathematics as well as in other science such as quantum physics, flow mechanics and electromagnetism. Main examples of strongly oscillating integrands are encountered in different transformation, for ex...
