Usage Examples

Basic 1D FFT

import numpy as np

# Create a simple signal: sine wave + noise
fs = 500  # Sample rate
t = np.linspace(0, 1, fs)
signal = np.sin(2 * np.pi * 50 * t) + 0.5 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * 120 * t)
noise = 0.2 * np.random.normal(size=len(t))
noisy_signal = signal + noise

# Compute FFT
fft_result = np.fft.fft(noisy_signal)
frequencies = np.fft.fftfreq(len(noisy_signal), 1/fs)

# Get magnitude spectrum (first half due to symmetry)
magnitude = np.abs(fft_result[:len(fft_result)//2])
freq_positive = frequencies[:len(frequencies)//2]

Real-valued FFT for Efficiency

import numpy as np

# For real-valued signals, use rfft for efficiency
real_signal = np.cos(2 * np.pi * 10 * t) + np.sin(2 * np.pi * 20 * t)

# Real FFT (more efficient for real inputs)
rfft_result = np.fft.rfft(real_signal)
rfft_freqs = np.fft.rfftfreq(len(real_signal), 1/fs)

# Magnitude spectrum
magnitude_real = np.abs(rfft_result)

# Reconstruct original signal
reconstructed = np.fft.irfft(rfft_result)

2D FFT for Images

import numpy as np

# Create a 2D signal (e.g., image with frequency content)
x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
y = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
image = np.sin(2 * np.pi * X) * np.cos(2 * np.pi * Y)

# 2D FFT
fft2_result = np.fft.fft2(image)
fft2_shifted = np.fft.fftshift(fft2_result)  # Center zero frequency

# Magnitude spectrum
magnitude_2d = np.abs(fft2_shifted)
phase_2d = np.angle(fft2_shifted)

# Inverse transform
reconstructed_2d = np.fft.ifft2(fft2_result)

Filtering in Frequency Domain

import numpy as np

# Low-pass filtering example
def lowpass_filter(signal, cutoff_freq, sample_rate):
    # Compute FFT
    fft_signal = np.fft.fft(signal)
    frequencies = np.fft.fftfreq(len(signal), 1/sample_rate)
    
    # Create filter (zero out high frequencies)
    fft_filtered = fft_signal.copy()
    fft_filtered[np.abs(frequencies) > cutoff_freq] = 0
    
    # Inverse FFT to get filtered signal
    filtered_signal = np.fft.ifft(fft_filtered).real
    return filtered_signal

# Apply filter
fs = 1000
t = np.linspace(0, 1, fs)
noisy_signal = np.sin(2 * np.pi * 10 * t) + 0.5 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * 100 * t)
filtered = lowpass_filter(noisy_signal, cutoff_freq=50, sample_rate=fs)
