离散傅里叶变换（Discrete Fourier Transform，缩写为DFT），是傅里叶变换在时域和频域上都呈离散的形式，将信号的时域采样变换为其DTFT的频域采样。在形式上，变换两端（时域和频域上）的串行是有限长的，而实际上这两组串行都应当被认为是离散周期信号的主值串行。即使对有限长的离散信号作DFT，也应当将其看作其周期延拓的变换。在实际应用中通常采用快速傅里叶变换计算DFT。

In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite sequence of equally spaced samples of a function into the list of coefficients of a finite combination of complex sinusoids, ordered by their frequencies, that has those same sample values. It can be said to convert the sampled function from its original domain (often time or position along a line) to the frequency domain.
