SUMMARY
The Hilbert transform can be computed using the Fourier transform, specifically through the relationship \widehat{H(f)}=i\textrm{sgn}\hspace{1mm}(k)\hat{f}. In MATLAB, the command to implement the signum function is sign, which returns an array indicating the sign of each element in the input array. This command is suitable for use in computing the Hilbert transform, as it effectively handles both real and complex numbers.
