60 <p><a name="index-discrete-Fourier-transform-292"></a><a name="index-DFT-293"></a>The forward (<code>FFTW_FORWARD</code>) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a
|
Chris@10
|
61 1d complex array X of size n computes an array Y,
|
Chris@10
|
62 where:

|
Chris@10
|
65
|
Chris@10
|
66 <p><a name="index-normalization-294"></a>FFTW computes an unnormalized transform, in that there is no coefficient
|
Chris@10
|
67 in front of the summation in the DFT. In other words, applying the
|
Chris@10
|
68 forward and then the backward transform will multiply the input by
|
Chris@10
|
69 n.
|
Chris@10
|
70
|
Chris@10
|
71 <p><a name="index-frequency-295"></a>From above, an <code>FFTW_FORWARD</code> transform corresponds to a sign of
|
Chris@10
|
72 -1 in the exponent of the DFT. Note also that we use the
|
Chris@10
|
73 standard “in-order” output ordering—the k-th output
|
Chris@10
|
74 corresponds to the frequency k/n (or k/T, where T
|
Chris@10
|
75 is your total sampling period). For those who like to think in terms of
|
Chris@10
|
76 positive and negative frequencies, this means that the positive
|
Chris@10
|
77 frequencies are stored in the first half of the output and the negative
|
Chris@10
|
78 frequencies are stored in backwards order in the second half of the
|
Chris@10
|
79 output. (The frequency -k/n is the same as the frequency
|
Chris@10
|
80 (n-k)/n.)
