fft.fft

Description

Compute the one-dimensional discrete Fourier Transform.

Mandatory Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
a	array_like	Input array, which can be a complex number

Optional Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default Value	Description
n	int	None	Length of the transformed axis of the output. If n is less than the input length, the input is cropped. If n is greater than the input length, the input is padded with zeros. If n is not given, the length of the input along the axis specified by axis is used.
axis	int	-1	Axis over which to compute the FFT. If not given, the last axis is used.
norm	{"backward", "ortho", "forward"}	backward	Normalization mode (see numpy.fft). It indicates which direction of the forward/backward pair of transforms is scaled and with what normalization factor.

Parameter

Type

Default Value

Description

int

None

Length of the transformed axis of the output.

If n is less than the input length, the input is cropped.
If n is greater than the input length, the input is padded with zeros.
If n is not given, the length of the input along the axis specified by axis is used.

axis

int

-1

Axis over which to compute the FFT. If not given, the last axis is used.

norm

{"backward", "ortho", "forward"}

backward

Normalization mode (see numpy.fft). It indicates which direction of the forward/backward pair of transforms is scaled and with what normalization factor.

Return Value

Type	Description
ndarray	The truncated or zero-padded input, transformed along the axis indicated by axis, or the last one if axis is not specified.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> t = np.arange(12)
>>> ts = np.sin(t)
>>> ts
