+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    signal : array_like
+        Frequency-domain, time-domain, or hyperspectral data.
+        A minimum of three samples are required along `axis`.
+        The samples must be uniformly spaced.
+    axis : int, optional
+        Axis over which to compute phasor coordinates.
+        The default is the last axis (-1).
+    harmonic : int, sequence of int, or 'all', optional
+        Harmonics to return.
+        If `'all'`, return all harmonics for `signal` samples along `axis`.
+        Else, harmonics must be at least one and no larger than half the
+        number of `signal` samples along `axis`.
+        The default is the first harmonic (fundamental frequency).
+    sample_phase : array_like, optional
+        Phase values (in radians) of `signal` samples along `axis`.
+        If None (default), samples are assumed to be uniformly spaced along
+        one period.
+        The array size must equal the number of samples along `axis`.
+        Cannot be used with `harmonic!=1` or `use_fft=True`.
+    use_fft : bool, optional
+        If true, use a real forward Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
+        If false, use a Cython implementation that is optimized (faster and
+        resource saving) for calculating few harmonics.
+        By default, FFT is only used when all or at least 8 harmonics are
+        calculated, or `rfft` is specified.
+    rfft : callable, optional
+        Drop-in replacement function for ``numpy.fft.rfft``.
+        For example, ``scipy.fft.rfft`` or ``mkl_fft._numpy_fft.rfft``.
+        Used to calculate the real forward FFT.
+    dtype : dtype_like, optional
+        Data type of output arrays. Either float32 or float64.
+        The default is float64 unless the `signal` is float32.
+    num_threads : int, optional
+        Number of OpenMP threads to use for parallelization when not using FFT.
+        By default, multi-threading is disabled.
+        If zero, up to half of logical CPUs are used.
+        OpenMP may not be available on all platforms.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    mean : ndarray
+        Average of `signal` along `axis` (zero harmonic).
+    real : ndarray
+        Real component of phasor coordinates at `harmonic` along `axis`.
+    imag : ndarray
+        Imaginary component of phasor coordinates at `harmonic` along `axis`.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    ValueError
+        The `signal` has less than three samples along `axis`.
+        The `sample_phase` size does not equal the number of samples along
+        `axis`.
+    IndexError
+        `harmonic` is smaller than 1 or greater than half the samples along
+        `axis`.
+    TypeError
+        The `signal`, `dtype`, or `harmonic` types are not supported.

+    :ref:`sphx_glr_tutorials_benchmarks_phasorpy_phasor_from_signal.py`
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    The phasor coordinates `real` (:math:`G`), `imag` (:math:`S`), and
+    `mean` (:math:`F_{DC}`) are calculated from :math:`K\ge3` samples of the
+    signal :math:`F` af `harmonic` :math:`h` according to:
+
+    .. math::
+
+        F_{DC} &= \frac{1}{K} \sum_{k=0}^{K-1} F_{k}
+
+        G &= \frac{1}{K} \sum_{k=0}^{K-1} F_{k}
+        \cos{\left (2 \pi h \frac{k}{K} \right )} \cdot \frac{1}{F_{DC}}
+
+        S &= \frac{1}{K} \sum_{k=0}^{K-1} F_{k}
+        \sin{\left (2 \pi h \frac{k}{K} \right )} \cdot \frac{1}{F_{DC}}
+
+    If :math:`F_{DC} = 0`, the phasor coordinates are undefined
+    (:math:`NaN` or :math:`\infty`).
+    Use `NaN`-aware software to further process the phasor coordinates.
+
+    The phasor coordinates may be zero, for example, in case of only constant
+    background in time-resolved signals, or as the result of linear
+    combination of non-zero spectral phasors coordinates.
+
+    Examples

+    The signal is convoluted with the IRF, which is approximated by a
+    normal distribution.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    frequency : float
+        Fundamental laser pulse or modulation frequency in MHz.
+    lifetime : array_like
+        Lifetime components in ns.
+    fraction : array_like, optional
+        Fractional intensities or pre-exponential amplitudes of the lifetime
+        components. Fractions are normalized to sum to 1.
+        Must be specified if `lifetime` is not a scalar.
+    mean : array_like, optional, default: 1.0
+        Average signal intensity (DC). Must be scalar for now.
+    background : array_like, optional, default: 0.0
+        Background signal intensity. Must be smaller than `mean`.
+    samples : int, default: 64
+        Number of signal samples to return. Must be at least 16.
+    harmonic : int, sequence of int, or 'all', optional, default: 'all'
+        Harmonics used to synthesize signal.
+        If `'all'`, all harmonics are used.
+        Else, harmonics must be at least one and no larger than half of
+        `samples`.
+        Use `'all'` to synthesize an exponential time-domain decay signal,
+        or `1` to synthesize a homodyne signal.
+    zero_phase : float, optional
+        Position of instrument response function in radians.
+        Must be in range 0.0 to :math:`\pi`. The default is the 8th sample.
+    zero_stdev : float, optional
+        Standard deviation of instrument response function in radians.
+        Must be at least 1.5 samples and no more than one tenth of samples
+        to allow for sufficient sampling of the function.
+        The default is 1.5 samples. Increase `samples` to narrow the IRF.
+    preexponential : bool, optional, default: False
+        If true, `fraction` values are pre-exponential amplitudes,
+        else fractional intensities.
+    unit_conversion : float, optional, default: 1e-3
+        Product of `frequency` and `lifetime` units' prefix factors.
+        The default is 1e-3 for MHz and ns, or Hz and ms.
+        Use 1.0 for Hz and s.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    signal : ndarray
+        Signal generated from lifetimes at frequency, convoluted with
+        instrument response function.
+    zero : ndarray
+        Instrument response function.
+    time : ndarray
+        Time for each sample in signal in units of `lifetime`.

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    This implementation is based on an inverse digital Fourier transform (DFT).
+    Because DFT cannot be used on signals with discontinuities
+    (for example, an exponential decay starting at zero) without producing
+    strong artifacts (ripples), the signal is convoluted with a continuous
+    instrument response function (IRF). The minimum width of the IRF is
+    limited due to sampling requirements.
