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 then be generated from ifft(Y). In the paper it says: In practice, the signals to be synthesized are real, and the inverse FFT algorithm only uses the positive frequency half spectrum, *so only one of the two spectral motifs must be synthesized*. I don’t understand what it means by “only one of the two spectral motifs must be synthesized”. How do I decide which spectral motive to use? ps. I simplified the formula for simplicity. But in case you want to see the complete formula: Y(wk) = e^(i*phase) * (0.5 * A * H(wk - wf) + 0.5* B *H’(wk - wf)) for |wk - wf| <= K * 2pi / N ps2. sorry I just by accident posted the same question without a subject an hour ago, is there a way to delete it from the archive? Thanks in advance!!!
