ifft#
- scipy.fft.ifft(x, n=None, axis=-1, norm=None, overwrite_x=False, workers=None, *, plan=None)[source]#
- Compute the 1-D inverse discrete Fourier Transform. - This function computes the inverse of the 1-D n-point discrete Fourier transform computed by - fft. In other words,- ifft(fft(x)) == xto within numerical accuracy.- The input should be ordered in the same way as is returned by - fft, i.e.,- x[0]should contain the zero frequency term,
- x[1:n//2]should contain the positive-frequency terms,
- x[n//2 + 1:]should contain the negative-frequency terms, in increasing order starting from the most negative frequency.
 - For an even number of input points, - x[n//2]represents the sum of the values at the positive and negative Nyquist frequencies, as the two are aliased together. See- fftfor details.- Parameters:
- xarray_like
- Input array, can be complex. 
- nint, optional
- Length of the transformed axis of the output. If n is smaller than the length of the input, the input is cropped. If it is larger, the input is padded with zeros. If n is not given, the length of the input along the axis specified by axis is used. See notes about padding issues. 
- axisint, optional
- Axis over which to compute the inverse DFT. If not given, the last axis is used. 
- norm{“backward”, “ortho”, “forward”}, optional
- Normalization mode (see - fft). Default is “backward”.
- overwrite_xbool, optional
- If True, the contents of x can be destroyed; the default is False. See - fftfor more details.
- workersint, optional
- Maximum number of workers to use for parallel computation. If negative, the value wraps around from - os.cpu_count(). See- fftfor more details.
- planobject, optional
- This argument is reserved for passing in a precomputed plan provided by downstream FFT vendors. It is currently not used in SciPy. - Added in version 1.5.0. 
 
- Returns:
- outcomplex ndarray
- The truncated or zero-padded input, transformed along the axis indicated by axis, or the last one if axis is not specified. 
 
- Raises:
- IndexError
- If axes is larger than the last axis of x. 
 
 - See also - Notes - If the input parameter n is larger than the size of the input, the input is padded by appending zeros at the end. Even though this is the common approach, it might lead to surprising results. If a different padding is desired, it must be performed before calling - ifft.- If - xis a 1-D array, then the- ifftis equivalent to- y[k] = np.sum(x * np.exp(2j * np.pi * k * np.arange(n)/n)) / len(x) - As with - fft,- iffthas support for all floating point types and is optimized for real input.- Examples - >>> import scipy.fft >>> import numpy as np >>> scipy.fft.ifft([0, 4, 0, 0]) array([ 1.+0.j, 0.+1.j, -1.+0.j, 0.-1.j]) # may vary - Create and plot a band-limited signal with random phases: - >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> rng = np.random.default_rng() >>> t = np.arange(400) >>> n = np.zeros((400,), dtype=complex) >>> n[40:60] = np.exp(1j*rng.uniform(0, 2*np.pi, (20,))) >>> s = scipy.fft.ifft(n) >>> plt.plot(t, s.real, 'b-', t, s.imag, 'r--') [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at ...>, <matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at ...>] >>> plt.legend(('real', 'imaginary')) <matplotlib.legend.Legend object at ...> >>> plt.show()
