Cfft

Overview

Forward and inverse FFT of complex data

Discussion

Computes the forward or inverse FFT of complex data. At instantiation time (on the module name and arguments dialog) you specify whether a forward or an inverset transform should be computed. The internal hidden variable .dir controls whether a forward (= +1) or inverse (= -1) FFT is computed. The module supports multichannel signals.

Type Definition

typedef struct _ModuleCfft
{
ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance;            // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
INT32 dir;                                    // Transform direction.  Forward = 1. Inverse = -1
void * hardware_specific_struct_pointer;      // This may point to a struct that varies based on the target platform
void * fft_size_aligned_io_buffer_pointer;    // This points to a buffer which is aligned by fft size on SHARC
void * fft_twiddle_buffer_pointer;            // This points to twiddle buffer on SHARC
} ModuleCfftClass;

Matlab Usage

File Name: cfft_module.m 
 M=cfft_module(NAME, ISFFT) 
 Computes the forward or inverse FFT of complex input data.  The input 
 block size must be a power of 2.  The module supports multichannel 
 signals.  Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    ISFFT :  1 for calculating FFT 
             -1 for calculating IFFT 

 ISFFT is an optional argument and is used to set the internal const 
 variable 'dir'.  You can change .dir in design mode but not in tuning 
 mode.
