blockfftphase
The phase angle of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) calculated using blocking.
Syntax
blockfftphase(vec_expr, block_size, overlap)
Argument
- vec_expr
- A valid vector expression.
- block_size
- The number of elements to be used for each FFT (should be a power of 2).
- overlap
- The number of elements shared between consecutive blocks.
Example
| Templex Expression | Result |
|---|---|
{blockfftphase(c1.y, 256, 128)} |
A vector is generated which is the phase angle of the FFT of a vector c1.y, using a block size of 256 and an overlap 128. |
| Curve Math Vectors | Result |
|---|---|
x = freq(c1.x[0:255:1])
|
Given c1, a curve is created which is the phase angle of the FFT of c1, using a block size of 256 and an overlap 128. |
Comments
The blockfftphase function uses blocking to calculate the phase angle of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT is complex-valued and used to map time-domain data into the frequency domain. vec_expr is assumed to be evenly sampled. The resultant vector has a number of elements equal to the least power of two greater than or equal to block_size.
The blockfftphase function is different from a normal FFT in that it introduces blocking. The input vector is subdivided into blocks, each having block_size number of elements. An FFT is then performed on each individual block. The results of these FFTs are then averaged to give the final result.
