scipy.fft.ihfft#

scipy.fft.ihfft(x, n=None, axis=- 1, norm=None, overwrite_x=False, workers=None, *, plan=None)[source]#

Compute the inverse FFT of a signal that has Hermitian symmetry.

Parameters

xarray_like: Input array.
nint, optional: Length of the inverse FFT, the number of points along transformation axis in the input to use. If n is smaller than the length of the input, the input is cropped. If it is larger, the input is padded with zeros. If n is not given, the length of the input along the axis specified by axis is used.
axisint, optional: Axis over which to compute the inverse FFT. If not given, the last axis is used.
norm{“backward”, “ortho”, “forward”}, optional: Normalization mode (see fft). Default is “backward”.
overwrite_xbool, optional: If True, the contents of x can be destroyed; the default is False. See fft for more details.
workersint, optional: Maximum number of workers to use for parallel computation. If negative, the value wraps around from os.cpu_count(). See fft for more details.
planobject, optional: This argument is reserved for passing in a precomputed plan provided by downstream FFT vendors. It is currently not used in SciPy.

New in version 1.5.0.

Returns

outcomplex ndarray: The truncated or zero-padded input, transformed along the axis indicated by axis, or the last one if axis is not specified. The length of the transformed axis is n//2 + 1.

Notes

hfft/ihfft are a pair analogous to rfft/irfft, but for the opposite case: here, the signal has Hermitian symmetry in the time domain and is real in the frequency domain. So, here, it’s hfft, for which you must supply the length of the result if it is to be odd: * even: ihfft(hfft(a, 2*len(a) - 2) == a, within roundoff error, * odd: ihfft(hfft(a, 2*len(a) - 1) == a, within roundoff error.

Examples

>>> from scipy.fft import ifft, ihfft
>>> spectrum = np.array([ 15, -4, 0, -1, 0, -4])
>>> ifft(spectrum)
array([1.+0.j,  2.+0.j,  3.+0.j,  4.+0.j,  3.+0.j,  2.+0.j]) # may vary
>>> ihfft(spectrum)
array([ 1.-0.j,  2.-0.j,  3.-0.j,  4.-0.j]) # may vary
