Summary: Systems of first-order partial differential equations are considered, and the possible decomposition of solutions in forward and backward propagating waves is investigated. After a review of a customary procedure in space-time domain (wave splitting), attention is addressed to Fourier-transform domain, thus considering frequency-dependent functions of space variable. The characterization is given for the direction of propagation, and applications are developed in some cases of physical interest.
