When you generate big problem sizes dft matrix generation is a huge performance bottleneck. In this case we have the formula for the inverse discrete fourier transform idft. The result f of fouriermatrix n is symmetric and unitary, meaning that f1 is conjugate f.
The code snippet below implements the fft of 1dimensional. Note that the dimension of the spectrum is also as the summation above is with respect to the row index while the column index can be treated as a parameter, this expression can be considered as a onedimensional fourier transform of the nth column of the 2d signal matrix, which can be written in column vector vertical form as. Frequency resolution is determined only by the length of the observation interval, whereas the frequency interval is determined by the length of sampling interval.
