Chris@82 82 <p>The forward (<code>FFTW_FORWARD</code>) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a
Chris@82 83 1d complex array <em>X</em> of size <em>n</em> computes an array <em>Y</em>,
Chris@82 84 where:
Chris@82 85 <center><img src="equation-dft.png" align="top">.</center>
Chris@82 86 The backward (<code>FFTW_BACKWARD</code>) DFT computes:
Chris@82 87 <center><img src="equation-idft.png" align="top">.</center>
Chris@82 88 </p>
Chris@82 89 <a name="index-normalization-8"></a>
Chris@82 90 <p>FFTW computes an unnormalized transform, in that there is no coefficient
Chris@82 91 in front of the summation in the DFT. In other words, applying the
Chris@82 92 forward and then the backward transform will multiply the input by
Chris@82 93 <em>n</em>.
Chris@82 94 </p>
Chris@82 95 <a name="index-frequency-1"></a>
Chris@82 96 <p>From above, an <code>FFTW_FORWARD</code> transform corresponds to a sign of
Chris@82 97 <em>-1</em> in the exponent of the DFT. Note also that we use the
Chris@82 98 standard &ldquo;in-order&rdquo; output ordering&mdash;the <em>k</em>-th output
Chris@82 99 corresponds to the frequency <em>k/n</em> (or <em>k/T</em>, where <em>T</em>
Chris@82 100 is your total sampling period). For those who like to think in terms of
Chris@82 101 positive and negative frequencies, this means that the positive
Chris@82 102 frequencies are stored in the first half of the output and the negative
Chris@82 103 frequencies are stored in backwards order in the second half of the
Chris@82 104 output. (The frequency <em>-k/n</em> is the same as the frequency
Chris@82 105 <em>(n-k)/n</em>.)
