[SciPy-User] frequency components of a signal buried in a noisy time domain signal

[Ivo Maljevic]

Thanks Robert. I figured that after I sent the question, but I am not sure
if the search based solution offers any advantage in terms of speed.
Besides, and not that it matters really, but that solution restricts the
usage to max 2**32 integer result on 32 bit machines, whereas log based one
doesn't:

>>> def nextpow2(n):
...   return 2**(np.ceil(np.log2(n)))
...
>>> np.iinfo(np.intp).bits
32
>>> n=2**32+300.5
>>> n
4294967596.5
>>> nextpow2(n)
8589934592.0
