Chapter 6: Transforms

.p>.CMCH6.DOC!FFT_COSINE;fft_cosine

Computes the discrete Fourier cosine transformation of an even sequence.

Synopsis

#include <imsl.h>

float *imsl_f_fft_cosine (int n, float p[], …, 0)

The type double procedure is imsl_d_fft_cosine.

Required Arguments

int n   (Input)
Length of the sequence to be transformed. It must be greater than 1.

float p[]   (Input)
Array of size n containing the sequence to be transformed.

Return Value

A pointer to the transformed sequence. To release this space, use free. If no solution was comput­ed, then NULL is returned.

Synopsis with Optional Arguments

#include <imsl.h>

float *imsl_f_fft_cosine (int n, float p[],
IMSL_RETURN_USER, float q[],
IMSL_PARAMS, float params[],
0)

Optional Arguments

IMSL_RETURN_USER, float q[]   (Output)
Store the result in the user-provided space pointed to by q. Therefore, no storage is allocated for the solution, and imsl_f_fft_cosine returns q. The array must be of length n at least.

IMSL_PARAMS, float params[]   (Input)
Pointer returned by a previous call to imsl_f_fft_cosine_init. If imsl_f_fft_cosine is used repeatedly with the same value of n, then it is more efficient to compute these parameters only once.
Default: Initializing parameters computed each time imsl_f_fft_cosine is entered

Description

The function imsl_f_fft_cosine computes the discrete Fourier cosine transform of a real vector of size N. The method used is a variant of the Cooley-Tukey algorithm, which is most effi­cient when N - 1 is a product of small prime factors. If N satisfies this condition, then the computa­tional effort is proportional to N logN. Specifically, given an N-vector p, imsl_f_fft_cosine returns in q

Finally, note that the Fourier cosine transform is its own (unnormalized) inverse. The imsl_f_fft_cosine function is based on the sine FFT in FFTPACK. The package FFTPACK was de­veloped by Paul Swarztrauber at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Example

This example inputs a pure cosine wave as a data vector and recovers its Fourier cosine series, which is a vector with all components zero, except n - 1 at the appropriate frequency.

#include <imsl.h>

#include <math.h>


main()

{

        int             n = 7;

        int             i;

        float           p[7];

        float          *q;

        float           pi;


        pi = imsl_f_constant("pi", 0);


                                /* Fill p with a pure cosine wave */


        for (i=0; i<n; i++)

                p[i] = cos((float)(i)*pi/(float)(n-1));


        q = imsl_f_fft_cosine (n, p, 0);


        printf ("      index\t   p\t   q\n");

        for (i=0; i<n; i++)

                printf("\t%1d\t%5.2f\t%5.2f\n", i, p[i], q[i]);

}

Output

      index         p           q

        0         1.00        -0.00

        1         0.87         6.00

        2         0.50         0.00

        3        -0.00         0.00

        4        -0.50        -0.00

        5        -0.87        -0.00

        6        -1.00        -0.00
