ESP32 FFT

This provides a vanilla radix-2 FFT out-of-place implementation and a test example.

Author

This code was written by Robin Scheibler during rainy days in October 2017.

Example

#include "esp32_fft_fft.h"

...

// Create the FFT config structure
fft_config_t *real_fft_plan = esp32_fft_init(NFFT, FFT_REAL, FFT_FORWARD, NULL, NULL);

// Fill array with some data
for (k = 0 ; k < fft_analysis->size ; k++)
  real_fft_plan->input[k] = (float)k;

// Execute transformation
esp32_fft_execute(real_fft_plan);

// Now do something with the output
printf("DC component : %f\n", real_fft_plan->output[0]);  // DC is at [0]
for (k = 1 ; k < real_fft_plan->size / 2 ; k++)
  printf("%d-th freq : %f+j%f\n", k, real_fft_plan->output[2*k], real_fft_plan->output[2*k+1]);
printf("Middle component : %f\n", real_fft_plan->output[1]);  // N/2 is real and stored at [1]

// Don't forget to clean up at the end to free all the memory that was allocated
esp32_fft_destroy(real_fft_plan)

Documentation

Create the FFT configuration by running esp32_fft_init.

 fft_config_t *esp32_fft_init(int size, fft_type_t type, fft_direction_t direction, float *input, float *output)

 Parameters
 ----------
 size : int
     The FFT size (should be a power of two), if not, returns NULL.
 type : fft_type_t
     The type of FFT, FFT_REAL or FFT_COMPLEX
 direction : fft_direction_t
     The direction, FFT_FORWARD or FFT_BACKWARD (inverse transformation)
 input : float *
     A pointer to a buffer of the correct size. If NULL, a buffer is allocated dynamically
 output : float *
     A pointer to a buffer of the correct size. If NULL, a buffer is allocated dynamically.

 Returns
 -------
 A pointer to an `fft_config_t` structure that holds pointers to the buffers and
 all the necessary configuration options.

Fill data in the input buffer
Call esp32_fft_execute to run the FFT
Use the transformed data located in the output buffer
Possibly free up memory by calling esp32_fft_destroy on the configuration structure

Note about Inverse Real FFT

When doing an inverse real FFT, the data in the input buffer is destroyed.

Buffer sizes and data organization

For FFT_REAL FFTs (forward as well as backward) of size NFFT, the buffer is of size NFFT. Then, the input data is organized as

  Input  : [ x[0], x[1], x[2], ..., x[NFFT-1] ]
  Output : [ X[0], X[NFFT/2], Re(X[1]), Im(X[1]), ..., Re(X[NFFT/2-1]), Im(X[NFFT/2-1]) ]

For FFT_COMPLEX of size NFFT, the buffer is of size 2 * NFFT as both real and imaginary parts should be saved.

  Input  : [ Re(x[0]), Im(x[0]), ..., Re(x[NFFT-1]), Im(x[NFFT-1]) ]
  Output : [ Re(X[0]), Im(X[0]), ..., Re(X[NFFT-1]), Im(X[NFFT-1]) ]
