Reality condition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reality Condition is a proprerty of Fourier transforms:

If f(t) is a real function (not complex), then its Fourier transform g(ω) satisfies

g * (ω) = g( − ω)

where * denotes the complex conjugate. This is saying that the real part of the function g(ω) is symmetric about the point ω = 0.
