For filter design program I experimented with Fast Fourier Tranforms ( and their inverse).
I used algorithms from the Numeric module and from Scipy.fft .
It seems, that FFT.fft from Numeric and fft.FFT2.fft perform similar (except for
speed of execution and round off errors)
However when applying the inverse transformations
FFT.inverse_fft(...) from Numeric
and
fft.FFT2.ifft
to the same sequence, results are not the same. While
FFT.inverse_fft(...) from Numeric performs as expected ( compared with MATLABs ifft() )
fft.FFT2.ifft gives a sequence which is somehow shifted ...
I used this sample script :
------ sample script ---------------------------------------------------------
#--- test different versions of fft and its inverse
from Numeric import *
import FFT
from scipy import *
import win32com.client
L = 500
N = 512
# create sequences with L complex 1's
x1 = ones(L)*(1+1j)
# use fft from Numeric
y1 = FFT.fft(x1,N) # since x1 has L samples transform x1 with zero padding
x1i = FFT.inverse_fft(y1) # transform back
#-- except for round off errors we expect x1i[0:L] = x1[0:L]
# (indeed they are ...)
# now use fft and inverse fft from Scipy.fft
y2 = fft.FFT2.fft(x1,N) # transform x1 with zero padding
x2i = fft.FFT2.ifft(y2) # transform back
#-- except for round off errors we expect x2i[0:L] = x1[0:L]
# this time however the samples differ; plotting them reveals that
# these sequences are similar but shifted versions of each other
