scipy.fftpack.rfftfreq

scipy.fftpack.rfftfreq(n, d=1.0)[source]

DFT sample frequencies (for usage with rfft, irfft).

The returned float array contains the frequency bins in cycles/unit (with zero at the start) given a window length n and a sample spacing d:

f = [0,1,1,2,2,...,n/2-1,n/2-1,n/2]/(d*n)   if n is even
f = [0,1,1,2,2,...,n/2-1,n/2-1,n/2,n/2]/(d*n)   if n is odd
Parameters
nint

Window length.

dscalar, optional

Sample spacing. Default is 1.

Returns
outndarray

The array of length n, containing the sample frequencies.

Examples

>>> from scipy import fftpack
>>> sig = np.array([-2, 8, 6, 4, 1, 0, 3, 5], dtype=float)
>>> sig_fft = fftpack.rfft(sig)
>>> n = sig_fft.size
>>> timestep = 0.1
>>> freq = fftpack.rfftfreq(n, d=timestep)
>>> freq
array([ 0.  ,  1.25,  1.25,  2.5 ,  2.5 ,  3.75,  3.75,  5.  ])
