Fourier AnalysisAnswers the question: how is the variability of a source distributed infrequency?• Long-timescalevariations appear inlow-frequencyspectral bins, shorttimescalevariationsin high-frequencybins• If time-domainsignal varies withnon-constantfrequency, spectralresponse is smearedover several bins
