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