hi,
if you have equaly spaced samples x={x1,x2,x3......xn} you simply apply
Fourier[x] the result you get is {f1,f2,f3,....fn} where f1 gives the
constant term f2,fn give the basic frequency, f3,fn-1 give the harmonic with
twice the basic frequency and so on, ...
if you have unevenly spaced samples s={{t1,x1},{t2,x2},.....{tn,xn}} then
you will have to do some nonlinaer fitting, perhaps using NonliearFit[]

regards robert
