Discrete Fourier Transform (Discrete Fourier Transform)

Description

In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite sequence of equally-spaced samples of a function into a same-length sequence of equally-spaced samples of the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), which is a complex-valued function of frequency.

Parameters

$n$: length of the input data set
