Ok so this isn't a homework question per se, but I'm currently writing a report on Fourier Analysis but a bit stuck as to what the results can actually help with. I realized that I don't grasp how a Fourier Transform can be used.
In the experiment we recorded the signal created by a remote control when a button was pressed and, using LabView, plotted the Fourier transform.
The peak was at around 4000Hz, with the next noticeable one coming in at around 8000Hz (still much smaller than the peak at 4000, I'm thinking this might be a harmonic?)
What can I do with this information?
How does knowing that signal operates at a frequency of 4000Hz allow me to analyse/study/improve the system?
Thanks
