function [F] = fracF_ref(f, a)
%% fracF_ref Reference Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) implementation
%
% Author: Canisio Barth
%
% F = fracF_ref(f, a) computes the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT)
% of the input signal 'f' for a single transform order 'a'.
%
% This function serves as a reference (golden model) for validation and
% comparison against future code generation and hardware-oriented
% implementations.
%
% Key characteristics:
% - Scalar transform order 'a' (no vector support).
% - Assumes input signal 'f' is already interpolated externally.
% - Maintains original algorithm structure, including internal
% decimation after convolution.
% - Uses full MATLAB flexibility (not yet restricted for codegen).
%
% INPUTS:
% f - Input signal, [N x 1] column vector.
% IMPORTANT: 'f' must already be interpolated (expanded signal).
%
% a - Scalar transform order.
% Expected to satisfy: 0.5 < |a| < 1.5
%
% OUTPUTS:
% F - Fractional Fourier Transform, [(N/2) x 1] column vector.
% (Decimated output, consistent with original algorithm.)
%
% LIMITATIONS:
% - No internal interpolation is performed.
% - Only valid for scalar 'a'.
% - Assumes caller enforces correct parameter range and signal format.
%
% See also: fracF (Ozaktas)
% Validate scalar 'a'
