what does 'fft~' object first ?
Hi,
this is a very fundamental question.
After referring back to Euler's formula, i got stuck with the object of "fft~"
Before to know how the input signal is represented like "cos(2pi*t)+j*sin(2pi*t)" or, "cos(theta)+i*sin(theta)", what process should be done at the beginning in DSP?
In MSP, the first two outlets of "fft~" send real and imaginary output each, then what does the object do first to derive the two results?
In the complex coordinates (a+bi), from there 'r' and 'theta' can be derived. Then a=cos(theta), b=sin(theta) ? If so, the object "fft~" should detect "theta" from the input signal at the first?
The [fft~] object performs a Fast Fourier Transform. It transforms data from time domain to spectral domain.
Check out the MSP Analysis Tutorials "Simple Fourier Analysis" and " Advanced Fourier Analysis" to learn more about that if it's what you are after.
>> what process should be done at the beginning in DSP?
the first process is a DFT with only 2 bins. then the result is split into another 2 parts and then again and so on.
While transforming data from time-domain to spectral domain in FFT, the real and imaginary parts are sent from first 2 outlets of 'fft~'. Here, in Euler's form, they are cos(2pi*f*t) and sin(2pi*f*t) each. Then, in rectangular form (a+bi), 'a' can be replaced by cos(2pi*f*t) and 'b' can be replaced by sin(2pi*f*t)?
