Hi
I have a data vector x with uniform data points say [1 2 3 4 5]
and another data vector x_random with random data points say [.9 2.3 3.6 3.8
5.9]
The signal vector corresponding to random data is known and it consists of
complex numbers like [-1 +i 2+2i 4-2i 1+3i -2+i]. The problem is that i want to
interpolate nonuniform data points to get complex data corresponding to uniform
point!!!
Can anybody help me? Do you know any matlab function for complex data
interpolation?
Thanks

I guess it depends on your application and depends on what you want to do.
I
can think of the following cases:
a) your metric is the magnitude of the complex numbers and you want to
interpolate the magnitude (answer not unique)
b) your metric is the phase of the complex numbers and you then you want to
interpolate the phase (answer not unique)
c) you want to interpolate the real and imaginary parts of the complex
numbers independently (answer is unique)
For each of these, you are really interpolating a real number and can be
done in the standard method.

Hi,
Copied directly from the interp1 help....
Interpolating Complex Data
For Real x and Complex Y. For interp1(x,Y,...) where x is real and Y is
complex, you can use any interp1 method except for 'pchip'. The
shape-preserving aspect of the 'pchip' algorithm involves the signs of the
slopes between the data points. Because there is no notion of sign with
complex data, it is impossible to talk about whether a function is
increasing or decreasing. Consequently, the 'pchip' algorithm does not
generalize to complex data.
The 'spline' method is often a good choice because piecewise cubic splines
are derived purely from smoothness conditions. The second derivative of the
interpolant must be continuous across the interpolating points. This does
not involve any notion of sign or shape and so generalizes to complex data.
For Complex x. For interp1(x,Y,...) where x is complex and Y is either real
or complex, use the two-dimensional interpolation routine interp2(REAL(x),
IMAG(x),Y,...) instead.

interpft, interp2, interp3, interpn, pchip, spline Regards,

Complex numbers are an unordered bunch, so it's impossible to say
which complex numbers lie within any other two...
So, you need a metric on those complex data; it can be, real part,
imaginary part, its modulus, its argument (phase)... Depending on
what you need, you'll be able to figure out what to do.
