# istft¶

paddle.signal. istft ( x, n_fft, hop_length=None, win_length=None, window=None, center=True, normalized=False, onesided=True, length=None, return_complex=False, name=None ) [source]

Inverse short-time Fourier transform (ISTFT).

Reconstruct time-domain signal from the giving complex input and window tensor when

nonzero overlap-add (NOLA) condition is met:

$\sum_{t = -\infty}^{\infty}% ext{window}^2[n - t imes H]\$

Where: - $$t$$: The $$t$$-th input window. - $$N$$: Value of n_fft. - $$H$$: Value of hop_length.

Result of istft expected to be the inverse of paddle.signal.stft, but it is

not guaranteed to reconstruct a exactly realizible time-domain signal from a STFT complex tensor which has been modified (via masking or otherwise). Therefore, istft gives the [Griffin-Lim optimal estimate](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1164317) (optimal in a least-squares sense) for the corresponding signal.

Args:
x (Tensor): The input data which is a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional complesx

Tensor with shape […, n_fft, num_frames].

to n_fft)

window (Tensor, optional): A 1-dimensional tensor of size win_length. It will

be center padded to length n_fft if win_length < n_fft. It should be a real-valued tensor if return_complex is False. Default: None(treated as a rectangle window with value equal to 1 of size win_length).

center (bool, optional): It means that whether the time-domain signal has been

normalized (bool, optional): Control whether to scale the output by 1/sqrt(n_fft).

Default: False

onesided (bool, optional): It means that whether the input STFT tensor is a half

of the conjugate symmetry STFT tensor transformed from a real-valued signal and istft will return a real-valued tensor when it is set to True. Default: True.

length (int, optional): Specify the length of time-domain signal. Default: None(

treated as the whole length of signal).

return_complex (bool, optional): It means that whether the time-domain signal is

real-valued. If return_complex is set to True, onesided should be set to False cause the output is complex.

name (str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user

Returns:
A tensor of least squares estimation of the reconstructed signal(s) with shape
