You shouldn't be passing FFTW_FORWARD or FFTW_BACKWARD, either. These do not belong in the "flags" argument. The sign of the transform is specified by the 4th argument (FFTW_R2HC == forward, FFTW_HC2R == backward). i.e. do: forward = fftwf_plan_r2r_1d(SIZE_OF_IN, in, out, FFTW_R2HC, FFTW_ESTIMATE ); backwards = fftwf_plan_r2r_1d(SIZE_OF_IN, out, out2, FFTW_HC2R, FFTW_ESTIMATE ); Please also note the normalization that I mentioned before. Upon executing the two plans in sequence, out2[i] will be in[i] * SIZE_OF_IN, plus a small relative error on the order of the floating- point precision (1e-7 or so in single precision). Steven

SOLVED !!!!!

"Recall that these transforms are unnormalized, so r2hc followed by
hc2r will result in the original data multiplied by n"....

so... all i had to do is divide every element of 'out2' array (ouput
of forward-backwards) by SIZE_OF_IN.

Thanks!

Thanks you both... but i'm still having trouble. Basically, my code is
like this (simplified,of course)

#define SIZE_OF_IN  32

forward       = fftwf_plan_r2r_1d(SIZE_OF_IN, in, out, FFTW_R2HC,
FFTW_FORWARD | FFTW_ESTIMATE );
backwards  = fftwf_plan_r2r_1d(SIZE_OF_IN, out, out2, FFTW_HC2R,
FFTW_BACKWARD | FFTW_ESTIMATE );

fftwf_execute(forward);
fftwf_execute(backwards);


I get WAY too much noise. *ANY* idea will be very welcome.

Thanks a lot!!
regards

Yous should give the FFTW_ESTIMATE flag, otherwise your array contents may get overwritten by garbage during planning. Hendrik vdH

You should be passing the same size (SIZE_OF_IN) for creating both plans. This is the order of the transform to be computed, regardless of the format of the data. Note also that both in[] and out[] should be arrays of length SIZE_OF_IN. Regards, Steven G. Johnson PS. After you do that, the result should be the original data scaled by SIZE_OF_IN, since FFTW computes an unnormalized DFT.

Hello,

I'm having some trouble to use FFTw library...

I'm using two plans like this:

fftw_plan fftw_plan_r2r_1d(SIZE_OF_IN, in, out, R2HC, FFTW_FORWARD);

fftw_plan fftw_plan_r2r_1d(2*SIZE_OF_IN +2, out, originalInput, HC2R,
FFTW_BACKWARD);

If i'm not wrong, i should be getting, after executing those two
plans, the same as 'in' array, in 'originalInput'. But all i get is
noise.

What's wrong ???. I know for sure it's something really easy... but i
can't figure it out.....

Thank you!!!
