Fft
Overview
Forward FFT of real data
Discussion
Computes the fast Fourier transform of a real input signal yielding a complex half spectrum. The blockSize, N, of the input must be a power of 2 in the range [4...16384]. The output pin is complex with a blockSize of N/2+1 complex samples. The output pin contains the complex transform data for FFT samples k=0, 1, ..., N/2. The DC (k=0) and Nyquist (k=N/2) samples always have an imaginary component of 0.
