wrong data through IFFT, FFT

Hi everyone, I use altera fft ip core 9.0, and let my data go through 1024 ifft - GI - GI_remover - 1024 fft, but i did not get the origin data back(not the scaling problem, the data is totall...

Sure, ill give you an example. If your signal is lets say, sin(2*pi*t) and you define t = -0.512 : .001 : 0.511, you should configure the FFT's input data as (-N/2 to N/2). However, if you are processing your FFT's out "offline" with MatLab or some other tool, you can do a FFTSHIFT operation that will properly center the output. But if not, you should change the FFT to (-N/2 to N/2).

If that parameter is not set properly, the next component may misinterpret the frequency (or time) values.
