|
|
|
|
<p>In many practical applications, the input data <code>in[i]</code> are purely
|
|
real numbers, in which case the DFT output satisfies the “Hermitian”
|
|
<span id="index-Hermitian"></span>
|
|
redundancy: <code>out[i]</code> is the conjugate of <code>out[n-i]</code>. It is
|
|
possible to take advantage of these circumstances in order to achieve
|
|
roughly a factor of two improvement in both speed and memory usage.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In exchange for these speed and space advantages, the user sacrifices
|
|
some of the simplicity of FFTW’s complex transforms. First of all, the
|
|
input and output arrays are of <em>different sizes and types</em>: the
|
|
input is <code>n</code> real numbers, while the output is <code>n/2+1</code>
|
|
complex numbers (the non-redundant outputs); this also requires slight
|
|
“padding” of the input array for
|
|
<span id="index-padding"></span>
|
|
in-place transforms. Second, the inverse transform (complex to real)
|
|
has the side-effect of <em>overwriting its input array</em>, by default.
|
|
Neither of these inconveniences should pose a serious problem for
|
|
users, but it is important to be aware of them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The routines to perform real-data transforms are almost the same as
|
|
those for complex transforms: you allocate arrays of <code>double</code>
|
|
and/or <code>fftw_complex</code> (preferably using <code>fftw_malloc</code> or
|
|
<code>fftw_alloc_complex</code>), create an <code>fftw_plan</code>, execute it as
|
|
many times as you want with <code>fftw_execute(plan)</code>, and clean up
|
|
with <code>fftw_destroy_plan(plan)</code> (and <code>fftw_free</code>). The only
|
|
differences are that the input (or output) is of type <code>double</code>
|
|
and there are new routines to create the plan. In one dimension:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_r2c_1d(int n, double *in, fftw_complex *out,
|
|
unsigned flags);
|
|
fftw_plan fftw_plan_dft_c2r_1d(int n, fftw_complex *in, double *out,
|
|
unsigned flags);
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<span id="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005fr2c_005f1d"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-fftw_005fplan_005fdft_005fc2r_005f1d"></span>
|
|
|
|
<p>for the real input to complex-Hermitian output (<em>r2c</em>) and
|
|
complex-Hermitian input to real output (<em>c2r</em>) transforms.
|
|
<span id="index-r2c"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-c2r"></span>
|
|
Unlike the complex DFT planner, there is no <code>sign</code> argument.
|
|
Instead, r2c DFTs are always <code>FFTW_FORWARD</code> and c2r DFTs are
|
|
always <code>FFTW_BACKWARD</code>.
|
|
<span id="index-FFTW_005fFORWARD-1"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-FFTW_005fBACKWARD-1"></span>
|
|
(For single/long-double precision
|
|
<code>fftwf</code> and <code>fftwl</code>, <code>double</code> should be replaced by
|
|
<code>float</code> and <code>long double</code>, respectively.)
|
|
<span id="index-precision-1"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here, <code>n</code> is the “logical” size of the DFT, not necessarily the
|
|
physical size of the array. In particular, the real (<code>double</code>)
|
|
array has <code>n</code> elements, while the complex (<code>fftw_complex</code>)
|
|
array has <code>n/2+1</code> elements (where the division is rounded down).
|
|
For an in-place transform,
|
|
<span id="index-in_002dplace-1"></span>
|
|
<code>in</code> and <code>out</code> are aliased to the same array, which must be
|
|
big enough to hold both; so, the real array would actually have
|
|
<code>2*(n/2+1)</code> elements, where the elements beyond the first
|
|
<code>n</code> are unused padding. (Note that this is very different from
|
|
the concept of “zero-padding” a transform to a larger length, which
|
|
changes the logical size of the DFT by actually adding new input
|
|
data.) The <em>k</em>th element of the complex array is exactly the
|
|
same as the <em>k</em>th element of the corresponding complex DFT. All
|
|
positive <code>n</code> are supported; products of small factors are most
|
|
efficient, but an <i>O</i>(<i>n</i> log <i>n</i>)
|
|
algorithm is used even for prime sizes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>As noted above, the c2r transform destroys its input array even for
|
|
out-of-place transforms. This can be prevented, if necessary, by
|
|
including <code>FFTW_PRESERVE_INPUT</code> in the <code>flags</code>, with
|
|
unfortunately some sacrifice in performance.
|
|
<span id="index-flags-1"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-FFTW_005fPRESERVE_005fINPUT"></span>
|
|
This flag is also not currently supported for multi-dimensional real
|
|
DFTs (next section).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Readers familiar with DFTs of real data will recall that the 0th (the
|
|
“DC”) and <code>n/2</code>-th (the “Nyquist” frequency, when <code>n</code> is
|
|
even) elements of the complex output are purely real. Some
|
|
implementations therefore store the Nyquist element where the DC
|
|
imaginary part would go, in order to make the input and output arrays
|
|
the same size. Such packing, however, does not generalize well to
|
|
multi-dimensional transforms, and the space savings are miniscule in
|
|
any case; FFTW does not support it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>An alternative interface for one-dimensional r2c and c2r DFTs can be
|
|
found in the ‘<samp>r2r</samp>’ interface (see <a href="The-Halfcomplex_002dformat-DFT.html">The Halfcomplex-format DFT</a>), with “halfcomplex”-format output that <em>is</em> the same size
|
|
(and type) as the input array.
|
|
<span id="index-halfcomplex-format"></span>
|
|
That interface, although it is not very useful for multi-dimensional
|
|
transforms, may sometimes yield better performance.
