@node Signal Processing
@chapter Signal Processing

This chapter describes the signal processing and fast Fourier
transform functions available in Octave.  Fast Fourier transforms are
computed with the @sc{fftw} or @sc{fftpack} libraries depending on how
Octave is built.

Octave uses the @sc{fftw} libraries to perform FFT computations.  When Octave
starts up and initializes the @sc{fftw} libraries, they read a system wide
file (on a Unix system, it is typically @file{/etc/fftw/wisdom}) that
contains information useful to speed up FFT computations.  This
information is called the @emph{wisdom}.  The system-wide file allows
wisdom to be shared between all applications using the @sc{fftw} libraries.

Use the @code{fftw} function to generate and save wisdom.  Using the
utilities provided together with the @sc{fftw} libraries
(@command{fftw-wisdom} on Unix systems), you can even add wisdom
generated by Octave to the system-wide wisdom file.
