Why my ifft is complex?

That the ifft(fft(x)) result ends up complex might be because your ifft input of strictly real fft input wasn't kept conjugate symmetric, e.g. you messed up your ifft input by truncating or zeroing half of it or something.

Is the FFT of a real signal real?

Most real-world signals are real-valued. Therefore, you can use the real fast Fourier transform (FFT) for most applications. You also can use the complex FFT by setting the imaginary part of the signal to zero.

How do you convert FFT to ifft?

A quick and easy way to get an IFFT if you only have an FFT is to do conjugate -> FFT -> conjugate -> scale (optional) . Most cell phones only have 1 FFT chip, and the reason being that chip can do FFT and IFFT. To obtain the IFFT you need to do the FFT, scale the result, and shift the result.

What is ifft in dsp?

Description. The dsp. IFFT System object™ computes the inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) of the input. The object uses one or more of the following fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms depending on the complexity of the input and whether the output is in linear or bit-reversed order: Double-signal algorithm.
