Posit AI Weblog: Discrete Fourier Rework


Notice: This publish is an excerpt from the forthcoming ebook, Deep Studying and Scientific Computing with R torch. The chapter in query is on the Discrete Fourier Rework (DFT), and is positioned partially three. Half three is devoted to scientific computation past deep studying.
There are two chapters on the Fourier Rework. The primary strives to, in as “verbal” and lucid a method as was potential to me, solid a lightweight on what’s behind the magic; it additionally reveals how, surprisingly, you may code the DFT in merely half a dozen traces. The second focuses on quick implementation (the Quick Fourier Rework, or FFT), once more with each conceptual/explanatory in addition to sensible, code-it-yourself components.
Collectively, these cowl way more materials than might sensibly match right into a weblog publish; due to this fact, please take into account what follows extra as a “teaser” than a completely fledged article.

Within the sciences, the Fourier Rework is nearly all over the place. Said very usually, it converts information from one illustration to a different, with none lack of data (if achieved appropriately, that’s.) For those who use torch, it’s only a perform name away: torch_fft_fft() goes a technique, torch_fft_ifft() the opposite. For the consumer, that’s handy – you “simply” must know the way to interpret the outcomes. Right here, I need to assist with that. We begin with an instance perform name, enjoying round with its output, after which, attempt to get a grip on what’s going on behind the scenes.

Understanding the output of torch_fft_fft()

As we care about precise understanding, we begin from the only potential instance sign, a pure cosine that performs one revolution over the entire sampling interval.

Start line: A cosine of frequency 1

The best way we set issues up, there will probably be sixty-four samples; the sampling interval thus equals N = 64. The content material of frequency(), the under helper perform used to assemble the sign, displays how we signify the cosine. Particularly:

[
f(x) = cos(frac{2 pi}{N} k x)
]

Right here (x) values progress over time (or area), and (okay) is the frequency index. A cosine is periodic with interval (2 pi); so if we wish it to first return to its beginning state after sixty-four samples, and (x) runs between zero and sixty-three, we’ll need (okay) to be equal to (1). Like that, we’ll attain the preliminary state once more at place (x = frac{2 pi}{64} * 1 * 64).

Let’s rapidly affirm this did what it was presupposed to:

df <- information.body(x = sample_positions, y = as.numeric(x))

ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line() +
  xlab("time") +
  ylab("amplitude") +
  theme_minimal()
Pure cosine that accomplishes one revolution over the complete sample period (64 samples).

Now that we have now the enter sign, torch_fft_fft() computes for us the Fourier coefficients, that’s, the significance of the assorted frequencies current within the sign. The variety of frequencies thought of will equal the variety of sampling factors: So (X) will probably be of size sixty-four as nicely.

(In our instance, you’ll discover that the second half of coefficients will equal the primary in magnitude. That is the case for each real-valued sign. In such circumstances, you would name torch_fft_rfft() as a substitute, which yields “nicer” (within the sense of shorter) vectors to work with. Right here although, I need to clarify the final case, since that’s what you’ll discover achieved in most expositions on the subject.)

Even with the sign being actual, the Fourier coefficients are advanced numbers. There are 4 methods to examine them. The primary is to extract the actual half:

[1]  0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32

Solely a single coefficient is non-zero, the one at place 1. (We begin counting from zero, and should discard the second half, as defined above.)

Now trying on the imaginary half, we discover it’s zero all through:

[1]  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

At this level we all know that there’s only a single frequency current within the sign, specifically, that at (okay = 1). This matches (and it higher needed to) the way in which we constructed the sign: specifically, as undertaking a single revolution over the entire sampling interval.

Since, in idea, each coefficient might have non-zero actual and imaginary components, usually what you’d report is the magnitude (the sq. root of the sum of squared actual and imaginary components):

[1]  0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32

Unsurprisingly, these values precisely replicate the respective actual components.

Lastly, there’s the part, indicating a potential shift of the sign (a pure cosine is unshifted). In torch, we have now torch_angle() complementing torch_abs(), however we have to have in mind roundoff error right here. We all know that in every however a single case, the actual and imaginary components are each precisely zero; however as a result of finite precision in how numbers are offered in a pc, the precise values will usually not be zero. As an alternative, they’ll be very small. If we take certainly one of these “faux non-zeroes” and divide it by one other, as occurs within the angle calculation, massive values may end up. To forestall this from taking place, our customized implementation rounds each inputs earlier than triggering the division.

part <- perform(Ft, threshold = 1e5) {
  torch_atan2(
    torch_abs(torch_round(Ft$imag * threshold)),
    torch_abs(torch_round(Ft$actual * threshold))
  )
}

as.numeric(part(Ft)) %>% spherical(5)
[1]  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

As anticipated, there isn’t any part shift within the sign.

Let’s visualize what we discovered.

create_plot <- perform(x, y, amount) {
  df <- information.body(
    x_ = x,
    y_ = as.numeric(y) %>% spherical(5)
  )
  ggplot(df, aes(x = x_, y = y_)) +
    geom_col() +
    xlab("frequency") +
    ylab(amount) +
    theme_minimal()
}

p_real <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  real_part,
  "actual half"
)
p_imag <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  imag_part,
  "imaginary half"
)
p_magnitude <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  magnitude,
  "magnitude"
)
p_phase <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  part(Ft),
  "part"
)

p_real + p_imag + p_magnitude + p_phase
Real parts, imaginary parts, magnitudes and phases of the Fourier coefficients, obtained on a pure cosine that performs a single revolution over the sampling period. Imaginary parts as well as phases are all zero.

It’s honest to say that we have now no purpose to doubt what torch_fft_fft() has achieved. However with a pure sinusoid like this, we will perceive precisely what’s occurring by computing the DFT ourselves, by hand. Doing this now will considerably assist us later, once we’re writing the code.

Reconstructing the magic

One caveat about this part. With a subject as wealthy because the Fourier Rework, and an viewers who I think about to differ extensively on a dimension of math and sciences training, my possibilities to fulfill your expectations, expensive reader, have to be very near zero. Nonetheless, I need to take the chance. For those who’re an skilled on this stuff, you’ll anyway be simply scanning the textual content, looking for items of torch code. For those who’re reasonably acquainted with the DFT, you should still like being reminded of its inside workings. And – most significantly – in the event you’re moderately new, and even utterly new, to this subject, you’ll hopefully take away (no less than) one factor: that what looks like one of many best wonders of the universe (assuming there’s a actuality by some means akin to what goes on in our minds) might be a marvel, however neither “magic” nor a factor reserved to the initiated.

In a nutshell, the Fourier Rework is a foundation transformation. Within the case of the DFT – the Discrete Fourier Rework, the place time and frequency representations each are finite vectors, not capabilities – the brand new foundation seems like this:

[
begin{aligned}
&mathbf{w}^{0n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 0 * n} = 1
&mathbf{w}^{1n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 1 * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N} n}
&mathbf{w}^{2n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 2 * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}2n}& …
&mathbf{w}^{(N-1)n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* (N-1) * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}(N-1)n}
end{aligned}
]

Right here (N), as earlier than, is the variety of samples (64, in our case); thus, there are (N) foundation vectors. With (okay) operating by the premise vectors, they are often written:

[
mathbf{w}^{kn}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}
]
{#eq-dft-1}

Like (okay), (n) runs from (0) to (N-1). To grasp what these foundation vectors are doing, it’s useful to briefly swap to a shorter sampling interval, (N = 4), say. If we accomplish that, we have now 4 foundation vectors: (mathbf{w}^{0n}_N), (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N), (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N), and (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N). The primary one seems like this:

[
mathbf{w}^{0n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
1
1
1
end{bmatrix}
]

The second, like so:

[
mathbf{w}^{1n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ifrac{pi}{2}}
e^{i pi}
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{4}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
i
-1
-i
end{bmatrix}
]

That is the third:

[
mathbf{w}^{2n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ipi}
e^{i 2 pi}
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{2}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
-1
1
-1
end{bmatrix}
]

And at last, the fourth:

[
mathbf{w}^{3n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{2}}
e^{i 3 pi}
e^{ifrac{9 pi}{2}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
-i
-1
i
end{bmatrix}
]

We are able to characterize these 4 foundation vectors when it comes to their “velocity”: how briskly they transfer across the unit circle. To do that, we merely have a look at the rightmost column vectors, the place the ultimate calculation outcomes seem. The values in that column correspond to positions pointed to by the revolving foundation vector at completely different closing dates. Because of this a single “replace of place”, we will see how briskly the vector is shifting in a single time step.

Wanting first at (mathbf{w}^{0n}_N), we see that it doesn’t transfer in any respect. (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N) goes from (1) to (i) to (-1) to (-i); yet another step, and it might be again the place it began. That’s one revolution in 4 steps, or a step dimension of (frac{pi}{2}). Then (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N) goes at double that tempo, shifting a distance of (pi) alongside the circle. That method, it finally ends up finishing two revolutions total. Lastly, (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N) achieves three full loops, for a step dimension of (frac{3 pi}{2}).

The factor that makes these foundation vectors so helpful is that they’re mutually orthogonal. That’s, their dot product is zero:

[
langle mathbf{w}^{kn}_N, mathbf{w}^{ln}_N rangle = sum_{n=0}^{N-1} ({e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}})^* e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}l n} = sum_{n=0}^{N-1} ({e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}})e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}l n} = 0
]
{#eq-dft-2}

Let’s take, for instance, (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N) and (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N). Certainly, their dot product evaluates to zero.

[
begin{bmatrix}
1 & -1 & 1 & -1
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
1
-i
-1
i
end{bmatrix}
=
1 + i + (-1) + (-i) = 0
]

Now, we’re about to see how the orthogonality of the Fourier foundation considerably simplifies the calculation of the DFT. Did you discover the similarity between these foundation vectors and the way in which we wrote the instance sign? Right here it’s once more:

[
f(x) = cos(frac{2 pi}{N} k x)
]

If we handle to signify this perform when it comes to the premise vectors (mathbf{w}^{kn}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}okay n}), the inside product between the perform and every foundation vector will probably be both zero (the “default”) or a a number of of 1 (in case the perform has a part matching the premise vector in query). Fortunately, sines and cosines can simply be transformed into advanced exponentials. In our instance, that is how that goes:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= cos(frac{2 pi}{64} n)
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} n} + e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{64} n})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} n} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 63n})
&= frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N + mathbf{w}^{63n}_N)
end{aligned}
]

Right here step one straight outcomes from Euler’s system, and the second displays the truth that the Fourier coefficients are periodic, with frequency -1 being the identical as 63, -2 equaling 62, and so forth.

Now, the (okay)th Fourier coefficient is obtained by projecting the sign onto foundation vector (okay).

Because of the orthogonality of the premise vectors, solely two coefficients is not going to be zero: these for (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N) and (mathbf{w}^{63n}_N). They’re obtained by computing the inside product between the perform and the premise vector in query, that’s, by summing over (n). For every (n) ranging between (0) and (N-1), we have now a contribution of (frac{1}{2}), leaving us with a last sum of (32) for each coefficients. For instance, for (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N):

[
begin{aligned}
X_1 &= langle mathbf{w}^{1n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&= langle mathbf{w}^{1n}_N, frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N + mathbf{w}^{63n}_N) rangle
&= frac{1}{2} * 64
&= 32
end{aligned}
]

And analogously for (X_{63}).

Now, trying again at what torch_fft_fft() gave us, we see we have been capable of arrive on the similar end result. And we’ve discovered one thing alongside the way in which.

So long as we stick with alerts composed of a number of foundation vectors, we will compute the DFT on this method. On the finish of the chapter, we’ll develop code that can work for all alerts, however first, let’s see if we will dive even deeper into the workings of the DFT. Three issues we’ll need to discover:

  • What would occur if frequencies modified – say, a melody have been sung at the next pitch?

  • What about amplitude modifications – say, the music have been performed twice as loud?

  • What about part – e.g., there have been an offset earlier than the piece began?

In all circumstances, we’ll name torch_fft_fft() solely as soon as we’ve decided the end result ourselves.

And at last, we’ll see how advanced sinusoids, made up of various elements, can nonetheless be analyzed on this method, supplied they are often expressed when it comes to the frequencies that make up the premise.

Various frequency

Assume we quadrupled the frequency, giving us a sign that regarded like this:

[
mathbf{x}_n = cos(frac{2 pi}{N}*4*n)
]

Following the identical logic as above, we will categorical it like so:

[
mathbf{x}_n = frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + mathbf{w}^{60n}_N)
]

We already see that non-zero coefficients will probably be obtained just for frequency indices (4) and (60). Selecting the previous, we receive

[
begin{aligned}
X_4 &= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + mathbf{w}^{60n}_N) rangle
&= 32
end{aligned}
]

For the latter, we’d arrive on the similar end result.

Now, let’s make sure that our evaluation is appropriate. The next code snippet comprises nothing new; it generates the sign, calculates the DFT, and plots them each.

x <- torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions)

plot_ft <- perform(x)  plot_spacer()) /
    (p_real 

plot_ft(x)
A pure cosine that performs four revolutions over the sampling period, and its DFT. Imaginary parts and phases are still are zero.

This does certainly affirm our calculations.

A particular case arises when sign frequency rises to the very best one “allowed”, within the sense of being detectable with out aliasing. That would be the case at one half of the variety of sampling factors. Then, the sign will seem like so:

[
mathbf{x}_n = frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{32n}_N + mathbf{w}^{32n}_N)
]

Consequently, we find yourself with a single coefficient, akin to a frequency of 32 revolutions per pattern interval, of double the magnitude (64, thus). Listed below are the sign and its DFT:

x <- torch_cos(frequency(32, N) * sample_positions)
plot_ft(x)
A pure cosine that performs thirty-two revolutions over the sampling period, and its DFT. This is the highest frequency where, given sixty-four sample points, no aliasing will occur. Imaginary parts and phases still zero.

Various amplitude

Now, let’s take into consideration what occurs once we differ amplitude. For instance, say the sign will get twice as loud. Now, there will probably be a multiplier of two that may be taken exterior the inside product. In consequence, the one factor that modifications is the magnitude of the coefficients.

Let’s confirm this. The modification relies on the instance we had earlier than the final one, with 4 revolutions over the sampling interval:

x <- 2 * torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions)
plot_ft(x)
Pure cosine with four revolutions over the sampling period, and doubled amplitude. Imaginary parts and phases still zero.

Up to now, we have now not as soon as seen a coefficient with non-zero imaginary half. To vary this, we add in part.

Including part

Altering the part of a sign means shifting it in time. Our instance sign is a cosine, a perform whose worth is 1 at (t=0). (That additionally was the – arbitrarily chosen – place to begin of the sign.)

Now assume we shift the sign ahead by (frac{pi}{2}). Then the height we have been seeing at zero strikes over to (frac{pi}{2}); and if we nonetheless begin “recording” at zero, we should discover a worth of zero there. An equation describing that is the next. For comfort, we assume a sampling interval of (2 pi) and (okay=1), in order that the instance is a straightforward cosine:

[
f(x) = cos(x – phi)
]

The minus signal might look unintuitive at first. But it surely does make sense: We now need to receive a price of 1 at (x=frac{pi}{2}), so (x – phi) ought to consider to zero. (Or to any a number of of (pi).) Summing up, a delay in time will seem as a detrimental part shift.

Now, we’re going to calculate the DFT for a shifted model of our instance sign. However in the event you like, take a peek on the phase-shifted model of the time-domain image now already. You’ll see {that a} cosine, delayed by (frac{pi}{2}), is nothing else than a sine beginning at 0.

To compute the DFT, we observe our familiar-by-now technique. The sign now seems like this:

[
mathbf{x}_n = cos(frac{2 pi}{N}*4*x – frac{pi}{2})
]

First, we categorical it when it comes to foundation vectors:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 4 n – frac{pi}{2})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 4n – frac{pi}{2}} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 60n – frac{pi}{2}})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 4n} e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 60n} e^{ifrac{pi}{2}})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + e^{i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{60n}_N)
end{aligned}
]

Once more, we have now non-zero coefficients just for frequencies (4) and (60). However they’re advanced now, and each coefficients are now not equivalent. As an alternative, one is the advanced conjugate of the opposite. First, (X_4):

[
begin{aligned}
X_4 &= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&=langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, frac{1}{2} (e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + e^{i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{60n}_N) rangle
&= 32 *e^{-i frac{pi}{2}}
&= -32i
end{aligned}
]

And right here, (X_{60}):

[
begin{aligned}
X_{60} &= langle mathbf{w}^{60n}_N, mathbf{x}_N rangle
&= 32 *e^{i frac{pi}{2}}
&= 32i
end{aligned}
]

As traditional, we examine our calculation utilizing torch_fft_fft().

x <- torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions - pi / 2)

plot_ft(x)
Delaying a pure cosine wave by pi/2 yields a pure sine wave. Now the real parts of all coefficients are zero; instead, non-zero imaginary values are appearing. The phase shift at those positions is pi/2.

For a pure sine wave, the non-zero Fourier coefficients are imaginary. The part shift within the coefficients, reported as (frac{pi}{2}), displays the time delay we utilized to the sign.

Lastly – earlier than we write some code – let’s put all of it collectively, and have a look at a wave that has greater than a single sinusoidal part.

Superposition of sinusoids

The sign we assemble should still be expressed when it comes to the premise vectors, however it’s now not a pure sinusoid. As an alternative, it’s a linear mixture of such:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= 3 sin(frac{2 pi}{64} 4n) + 6 cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 2n) +2cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 8n)
end{aligned}
]

I received’t undergo the calculation intimately, however it’s no completely different from the earlier ones. You compute the DFT for every of the three elements, and assemble the outcomes. With none calculation, nonetheless, there’s fairly just a few issues we will say:

  • For the reason that sign consists of two pure cosines and one pure sine, there will probably be 4 coefficients with non-zero actual components, and two with non-zero imaginary components. The latter will probably be advanced conjugates of one another.
  • From the way in which the sign is written, it’s straightforward to find the respective frequencies, as nicely: The all-real coefficients will correspond to frequency indices 2, 8, 56, and 62; the all-imaginary ones to indices 4 and 60.
  • Lastly, amplitudes will end result from multiplying with (frac{64}{2}) the scaling elements obtained for the person sinusoids.

Let’s examine:

x <- 3 * torch_sin(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions) +
  6 * torch_cos(frequency(2, N) * sample_positions) +
  2 * torch_cos(frequency(8, N) * sample_positions)

plot_ft(x)
Superposition of pure sinusoids, and its DFT.

Now, how will we calculate the DFT for much less handy alerts?

Coding the DFT

Luckily, we already know what needs to be achieved. We need to undertaking the sign onto every of the premise vectors. In different phrases, we’ll be computing a bunch of inside merchandise. Logic-wise, nothing modifications: The one distinction is that generally, it is not going to be potential to signify the sign when it comes to only a few foundation vectors, like we did earlier than. Thus, all projections will truly must be calculated. However isn’t automation of tedious duties one factor we have now computer systems for?

Let’s begin by stating enter, output, and central logic of the algorithm to be applied. As all through this chapter, we keep in a single dimension. The enter, thus, is a one-dimensional tensor, encoding a sign. The output is a one-dimensional vector of Fourier coefficients, of the identical size because the enter, every holding details about a frequency. The central thought is: To acquire a coefficient, undertaking the sign onto the corresponding foundation vector.

To implement that concept, we have to create the premise vectors, and for every one, compute its inside product with the sign. This may be achieved in a loop. Surprisingly little code is required to perform the objective:

dft <- perform(x) {
  n_samples <- size(x)

  n <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(1)

  Ft <- torch_complex(
    torch_zeros(n_samples), torch_zeros(n_samples)
  )

  for (okay in 0:(n_samples - 1)) {
    w_k <- torch_exp(-1i * 2 * pi / n_samples * okay * n)
    dot <- torch_matmul(w_k, x$to(dtype = torch_cfloat()))
    Ft[k + 1] <- dot
  }
  Ft
}

To check the implementation, we will take the final sign we analysed, and examine with the output of torch_fft_fft().

Reassuringly – in the event you look again – the outcomes are the identical.

Above, did I say “little code”? The truth is, a loop isn’t even wanted. As an alternative of working with the premise vectors one-by-one, we will stack them in a matrix. Then every row will maintain the conjugate of a foundation vector, and there will probably be (N) of them. The columns correspond to positions (0) to (N-1); there will probably be (N) of them as nicely. For instance, that is how the matrix would search for (N=4):

[
mathbf{W}_4
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
]
{#eq-dft-3}

Or, evaluating the expressions:

[
mathbf{W}_4
=
begin{bmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1
1 & -i & -1 & i
1 & -1 & 1 & -1
1 & i & -1 & -i
end{bmatrix}
]

With that modification, the code seems much more elegant:

dft_vec <- perform(x) {
  n_samples <- size(x)

  n <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(1)
  okay <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(2)

  mat_k_m <- torch_exp(-1i * 2 * pi / n_samples * okay * n)

  torch_matmul(mat_k_m, x$to(dtype = torch_cfloat()))
}

As you may simply confirm, the end result is similar.

Thanks for studying!
