cannam@127 83 <p>The forward (<code>FFTW_FORWARD</code>) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a
cannam@127 84 1d complex array <em>X</em> of size <em>n</em> computes an array <em>Y</em>,
cannam@127 85 where:
cannam@127 86 <center><img src="equation-dft.png" align="top">.</center>The backward (<code>FFTW_BACKWARD</code>) DFT computes:
cannam@127 87 <center><img src="equation-idft.png" align="top">.</center></p>
cannam@127 88 <a name="index-normalization-8"></a>
cannam@127 89 <p>FFTW computes an unnormalized transform, in that there is no coefficient
cannam@127 90 in front of the summation in the DFT. In other words, applying the
cannam@127 91 forward and then the backward transform will multiply the input by
cannam@127 92 <em>n</em>.
cannam@127 93 </p>
cannam@127 94 <a name="index-frequency-1"></a>
cannam@127 95 <p>From above, an <code>FFTW_FORWARD</code> transform corresponds to a sign of
cannam@127 96 <em>-1</em> in the exponent of the DFT. Note also that we use the
cannam@127 97 standard &ldquo;in-order&rdquo; output ordering&mdash;the <em>k</em>-th output
cannam@127 98 corresponds to the frequency <em>k/n</em> (or <em>k/T</em>, where <em>T</em>
cannam@127 99 is your total sampling period). For those who like to think in terms of
cannam@127 100 positive and negative frequencies, this means that the positive
cannam@127 101 frequencies are stored in the first half of the output and the negative
cannam@127 102 frequencies are stored in backwards order in the second half of the
cannam@127 103 output. (The frequency <em>-k/n</em> is the same as the frequency
cannam@127 104 <em>(n-k)/n</em>.)
