Abstract
It is shown that starting from a Fourier transform relation one can derive, in a surprisingly simple manner, all the well-known results of lattice summation, that have been obtained so far by a complicated use of the Ewald theta transformation. We show that the Ewald transformation follows directly from the Fourier transform relation.
