Description

Synopsis

The static functions in this class are C++ wrappers to the Fortran FFTPACK library. This library contains functions that perform fast Fourier transforms (FFT's) and related transforms.

An additional purpose of these definitions is to overload the functions so that C++ users can access the functions in either fftpak (single precision) or dfftpack (double precision) with identical function names.

These routines only do one-dimensional transforms with the first element of the array being the "origin" of the transform. The FFTServer class uses some of these functions to implement multi-dimensional transforms with the origin of the transform either at the centre or the first element of the Array.

You must initialise the work array wsave before using the forward transform (function with a suffix of f) or the backward transform (with a suffix of b).

The transforms done by the functions in this class can be categorised as follows:

Warning These functions assume that it is possible to convert between AIPS++ numeric types and those used by Fortran. That it is possible to convert between Float & float, Double & double and Int & int.

Warning These function also assume that a Complex array is stored as pairs of floating point numbers, with no intervening gaps, and with the real component first ie., [re0,im0,re1,im1, ...] so that the following type casts work,
    Complex* complexPtr;
    Float* floatPtr = (Float* ) complexPtr;
    
and allow a Complex number to be accessed as a pair of real numbers. If this assumption is bad then float Arrays will have to generated by copying the complex ones. When compiled in debug mode mode the functions that require this assumption will throw an exception (AipsError) if this assumption is bad. Ultimately this assumption about Complex<->Float Array conversion should be put somewhere central like Array2Math.cc.

Member Description

static void cffti(Int n, Float* wsave)
static void cffti(Int n, Double* wsave)

cffti initializes the array wsave which is used in both cfftf and cfftb. The prime factorization of n together with a tabulation of the trigonometric functions are computed and stored in wsave.

Input parameter:

n
The length of the sequence to be transformed
Output parameter:
wsave
A work array which must be dimensioned at least 4*n+15 The same work array can be used for both cfftf and cfftb as long as n remains unchanged. Different wsave arrays are required for different values of n. The contents of wsave must not be changed between calls of cfftf or cfftb.

static void cfftf(Int n, Complex* c, Float* wsave)
static void cfftf(Int n, DComplex* c, Double* wsave)

cfftf computes the forward complex discrete Fourier transform (the Fourier analysis). Equivalently, cfftf computes the Fourier coefficients of a complex periodic sequence. the transform is defined below at output parameter c.

The transform is not normalized. To obtain a normalized transform the output must be divided by n. Otherwise a call of cfftf followed by a call of cfftb will multiply the sequence by n.

The array wsave which is used by cfftf must be initialized by calling cffti(n,wsave).

Input parameters:

n
The length of the complex sequence c. The method is more efficient when n is the product of small primes.
c
A complex array of length n which contains the sequence to be transformed.
wsave
A real work array which must be dimensioned at least 4n+15 by the program that calls cfftf. The wsave array must be initialized by calling cffti(n,wsave) and a different wsave array must be used for each different value of n. This initialization does not have to be repeated so long as n remains unchanged thus subsequent transforms can be obtained faster than the first. The same wsave array can be used by cfftf and cfftb.
Output parameters:
c
for j=1,...,n
c(j)=the sum from k=1,...,n of
c(k)*exp(-i*(j-1)*(k-1)*2*pi/n)

A call of cfftf followed by a call of cfftb will multiply the sequence by n.

The array wsave which is used by cfftb must be initialized by calling cffti(n,wsave).
