fftshift

rearranges the fft output, moving the zero frequency to the center of the spectrum

Syntax

y = fftshift(x)
y = fftshift(x, along)

Arguments

x, y

vectors, matrices or hypermatrices, of same sizes.

along

1 | "r" | 2 | "c" | 0<along<=ndims(x): dimension along which halves are switched.

Description

If x results of an fft computation, y=fftshift(x) or y=fftshift(x,"all") moves the zero frequency component to the center of the spectrum, which is sometimes a more convenient form.

x = [x1  x2 ]    gives   y = [x2  x1 ]  // vector

    [x11 x12]                [x22 x21]
x = |       |    gives   y = |       |  // matrix
    [x21 x22]                [x12 x11]
etc

y=fftshift(x,n) makes the swap only along the nth dimension.

Examples

x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
fftshift(x)
--> x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
 x  =
