Discrete Foureir Transformation

One and Two dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform without built in Fourer Transformation functions

You are now following this Submission

I tried to make the code very simple:
first create this one dimensional DFT function
%----------------------------------------------------------------
function [Xk] = dft(xn)
N=length(xn);
n = 0:1:N-1; % row vector for n
k = 0:1:N-1; % row vecor for k
WN = exp(-1j*2*pi/N); % Twiddle factor (w)
nk = n'*k; % creates a N by N matrix of nk values
WNnk = WN .^ nk; % DFT matrix
Xk = (WNnk*xn );
%----------------------------------------------------------------
now, use this function which is the second dimension:
%----------------------------------------------------------------
function out=dft2(x)
y=zeros(size(x));
y1=y;
C=size(x,2); %number of columns
for c=1:C
y(:,c)=dft(x(:,c));
end
R=size(x,1); %number of rows
for r=1:R
y1(r,:)=dft(y(r,:).');
end
out=y1;
%----------------------------------------------------------------

Note: do not forget to save them as the names of the functions as dft.m and dft2.m both in the same folder. Now make the folder your current working folder, now, you can call the one dimensional dft or the two dimensions dft
