Project description
Heavily simplified scipy.signal.spectral module which only depends on NumPy and supports pyFFTW
Requirements
Optional: pyFFTW (for fastest FFT calculations with FFTW library)
Optional: SciPy (for faster FFT calculations with scipy.fftpack library)
SimpleSpectral preferably uses pyfftw for FFT calculations, then scipy.fftpack and numpy.fft as a last resort.
You should always install SciPy or pyFFTW, because numpy.fft has horrible memory usage and is also much slower.
Differences
You can use scipy.signal tutorial and reference guide in most cases, but there are some important differences:
input data is assumed to be complex and two-sided spectrum is always returned (return_onesided argument is not implemented)
length of FFT is always same as length of segment (nfft argument is not implemented)
functions work always over last axis of array (axis argument is not implemented)
if you want to have best FFT performance with pyFFTW, you should create arrays with empty, zeros or ones functions from SimpleSpectral instead of generic versions from NumPy (arrays will be byte aligned for your CPU)
Implemented functions:
empty
zeros
ones

get_window
get_detrend
extend_boundaries
