DFT

Category

Transformation

Function

Computes a discrete Fourier transform.

Syntax

output = DFT(input, direction, center);

Inputs
Name Type Default Description
input field none field to be transformed
direction string "forward" direction of the transform
center flag 0 center the result of the transform

Outputs
Name Type Description
output field transformed data

Functional Details

This module computes the discrete Fourier transform of a 2- or 3-dimensional regular data set.

input

specifies the field to be transformed.

direction

is one of the following: "forward," "inverse," or "backward" (the last two are interchangeable).

center

specifies whether zero frequency should be placed at the center of the transformed field or at the origin of the positions array.

Components

All scalar components of input are individually Fourier-transformed and output as complex float. All other input components are propagated to the output. Thus a float 2-vector input produces a complex 2-vector output.
