Hi all. I have a matrix as a 2D spectrum. now, I want to transform it to time domain. when I use IFFT, the results are complex numbers, but it should be real numbers! so I have to have hermitain symmetry. how can i do that?

it is about the real part.

Can you create a small example?
Are you doing anything between the fft and ifft ?

If it is some small imaginary part due to numerical precisions, you can probably preprocess your input to IFFT by doing
x = (x+x')/2
This makes x Hermitian

Use the symmetric flag for the ifft.
ifft( data, [], dim, 'symmetric')
