Fourier analysis is used in communication systems to analyze and process signals by decomposing them into their frequency components. This allows for the effective modulation and demodulation of signals, enabling clearer transmission over various media. Additionally, it aids in filtering out noise and optimizing bandwidth usage, improving the quality and efficiency of data transmission in applications such as radio, television, and digital communication.
Fourier analysis began with trying to understand when it was possible to represent general functions by sums of simpler trigonometric functions. The attempt to understand functions (or other objects) by breaking them into basic pieces that are easier to understand is one of the central themes in Fourier analysis. Fourier analysis is named after Joseph Fourier who showed that representing a function by a trigonometric series greatly simplified the study of heat propagation. If you want to find out more, look up fourier synthesis and the fourier transform.
It is to convert a function into a sum of sine (or cosine) functions so as to simplify its analysis.
The Fourier series is used to represent periodic functions as sums of sine and cosine terms, allowing for the analysis of functions defined on a finite interval. In contrast, the Fourier transform extends this concept to non-periodic functions, transforming them into a continuous spectrum of frequencies. While the Fourier series deals with discrete frequency components, the Fourier transform provides a continuous representation, making it suitable for a broader range of applications in signal processing and analysis.

Fourier analysis shows that the saw wave is constructed through manipulation of a sine wave, I can't remember the maths behind it but it's definitely a sine wave.

The general field of Fourier analysis is often known as harmonic analysis. The Fourier analysis it occurs in the modeling time-dependent phenomena such as speech, EKGs, EEGs, earthquakes and tides. Examples also include the study of vibrations and circular, physical and rectangular pictures. It also involves the transmission of pictures including the weather or pictures of remote planets taken by space probes.
