FFT
Type: Command
Description: Discrete Fourier Transform Command: Computes the one- or two-dimensional discrete Fourier
transform of an array.
If the argument is an N-vector or an N × 1 or 1 × N matrix, FFT computes the one-dimensional
transform. If the argument is an M × N matrix, FFT computes the two-dimensional transform.
M and N must be integral powers of 2.
The one-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of an N-vector X is the N-vector Y where:

The discrete Fourier transform and its inverse are defined for any positive sequence length.
However, the calculation can be performed very rapidly when the sequence length is a power of
two, and the resulting algorithms are called the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse fast
Fourier transform (IFFT).
The FFT command uses truncated 15-digit arithmetic and intermediate storage, then rounds the
result to 12-digit precision.
