ifft: Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation

Description

Performs the inverse Fast Fourier Transform.

Usage

ifft(x)
ifftshift(x)
fftshift(x)

Arguments

x

a real or complex vector

Value

Real or complex vector of the same length.

Details

ifft returns the value of the normalized discrete, univariate, inverse Fast Fourier Transform of the values in x.

ifftshift and fftshift shift the zero-component to the center of the spectrum, that is swap the left and right half of x.

Examples

x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4)
(y <- fft(x))
ifft(x)
ifft(y)
