It's really hard to believe. I guess that one based indexing is a legacy of fortran and all the optimized matrix libraries (BLAS,LAPACK...) were written in fortran in 1984. Messaggio originale Da: r...@audioimagination.com Data: 01/04/2015 16.19 A: music-dsp@music.columbia.edu Ogg:

Hi Forum, I am trying to implement a formula from a paper: Y(w) = e^(i*phase) * (H(w) + H’(w)) Where H is the fourier transform of a window function h (a blackman window in my case), H’ is the derivative of H (in the paper, H and H' are called spectrum motifs). A signal will be generated

2015-04-01 Thread Nigel Redmon
I think the basics have been hit by others (just had time to skim), but a couple of points: As other have pointed out, zero padding increases the sample rate (oversampling) in the frequency domain; add: if you care about the absolute phase being correct, you need to make sure you’re zero-phase

Re: [music-dsp] oversampled Fourier Transform

2015-04-01 Thread Ethan Duni
For the theoretically inclined: approximating a full Fourier Transform requires time interpolation of the samples to a (possibly much higher) sampling frequency, and on top of that a very long FFT, and proper analysis of the results of the FFT. It sounds like you are talking about trying to

Some of this all is amusing, like it's also an Aprils' fool thing to mess up frequency and time domain, use symbols almost interchangeably, etc. I hope especially the serious EEs will return to the essence of the engineering profession and commit to a decent error analysis in this old and

and of course, great discoveries often come from where people least expect them, and often trodden ground where others have walked before without noticing something major. Nothing wrong w/ fresh looks at old things, even if all it amounts to is someone getting a deeper understanding of things
