I am a new radio ham with general license and is trying to dive into antenna theory. As the question suggests, I want to know more about fourier transform. With all the resources I can find on the internet, no one seemed to be able to explain it in layman’s terms without showing shitty formulas that I don’t understand. I would like someone to explain fourier transform with little math as possible, or teach me any math concepts involved.
What is fourier transform? How does it work? How is the formulas derived? What are its appliations in communication antennas?

In RF and other repeating/periodic signals, you’re not as much interested in each point in time as much as you are the repeating patterns.
Fourier turns Calculus back into Algebra II and looks at frequency instead of time.
