# scipy.fftpack.ifft

`scipy.fftpack.``ifft`(x, n=None, axis=-1, overwrite_x=0)

  Return discrete inverse Fourier transform of real or complex sequence.

  The returned complex array contains `y(0), y(1),..., y(n-1)` where

  `y(j) = (x * exp(2*pi*sqrt(-1)*j*np.arange(n)/n)).mean()`.

  Parameters : | x : array_like Transformed data to invert. n : int, optional Length of the inverse Fourier transform. If `n < x.shape[axis]`, x is truncated. If `n > x.shape[axis]`, x is zero-padded. The default results in `n = x.shape[axis]`. axis : int, optional Axis along which the ifft’s are computed; the default is over the last axis (i.e., `axis=-1`). overwrite_x : bool, optional If True the contents of x can be destroyed; the default is False.
