Hi
I’ve been testing cufft on an example given at:
[url=“Example 1: FFT of a Simple Sinusoid · Technick.net”]http://www.technick.net/public/code/cp_dpa...t_example_1_fft[/url]
which models the sinusoid x(n)=cos(wnT)
For N=64 data points then there should be 2 peaks in the magnitude spectrum, each at magnitude on a linear scale, located at normalized frequencies f=0.25 and f=0.75. Spectral peak amplitudes of 32=(1/2)64 should be observed, which occur at bin numbers k=(0.25/f)N=16 and k=(0.75/f)N=48. The spectrum should be exactly zero at the other bin numbers. Computed the signal voltage in dB using: 20.0*log10(cuCabsf(value)/32.0) with an approx error of -130dB.
Below is a function that returns the above sinusoid sample for a specified N:
FloatComplexVector TestSamples::generate1DComplexSinusoidSignal(int numberPoints)
{
// setup
float PI = 3.141592654f;
float T = 1.0f;
float fs = 1.0f; // frequency fs/4
float wx = 2.0f * PI * (fs/4.0f);
float tol = 1e-06f;
// fill vector
FloatComplexVector v(numberPoints);
for (int n=0; n<numberPoints; n++)
{
cuFloatComplex c = make_cuFloatComplex(rvalue,0.0f);
v.setValue(c,n);
}
return v;
}
FloatComplexVector is simply a wrapper around float* to facilitate get() and set() accessors.
Below is pasted o/p for N=64 upto 1,024. The only non-zero values within a tolerance of 1e-03 for N=64 are as discussed above.
The problem is for increasing N, noting that how the accuracy drifts off such that by N=1,024 a large number of non-peak values are outside the tolerance 1e-03.
If I increase N, to say 2^10 (1million points) then the accuracy has got so bad that the fft is meaningless.
Has anyone seen this kind of drift before?
Cheers
