Abstract

An analysis is made to study the influence of time-domain noise on the results of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT). It is proven that the resulting frequency-domain noise can be modeled using a Gaussian distribution with a covariance matrix which is nearly diagonal, imposing very weak assumptions on the noise in the time domain.
