          This study provides a new perspective on the 4-point 
						balanced velocity-encoding technique from the Fourier 
						transform/frequency domain point of view. We show that, 
						from a Fourier encoding point of view, each of the 
						velocity directions is encoded into a sub-band centered 
						on a different frequency by amplitude modulation. 
						Velocity reconstruction is shown to be equivalent to a 
						traditional filter design problem in the Fourier domain. 
						A straight-forward velocity reconstruction algorithm 
						based on a simple Fourier domain filter is described and 
						tested in a volunteer. Comparing to the traditional 
						sliding window reconstruction, the proposed method 
						eliminates artifactual oscillations in the velocity 
						curves.
