Problem: DFT with Twiddle Matrix and Magnitude Spectrum

The problem requires building a Python pipeline to compute the DFT of a 1D signal and its magnitude spectrum: generate an optimized twiddle factor matrix (using symmetry, vectorization, caching), apply it to the signal (with normalization, input validation, sparsity optimization), and calculate the magnitude spectrum (handling diverse input types and numerical stability), returning results as lists.

Background: ### Industry Background & Mathematical Foundations
1. **Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) & Twiddle Factors**
   - The DFT is a cornerstone algorithm in signal processing, telecommunications, audio engineering, and vibration analysis. The twiddle factor matrix (DFT matrix) elements follow the mathematical formula \( W_N^{k,n} = e^{-2\pi i k n / N} \), where \( N = n\_points \), which maps time-domain signals to their frequency-domain representations.
   - **Conjugate Symmetry Optimization**: A core property of DFT twiddle factors: for \( k > N/2 \), \( W_N^{k,n} = \overline{W_N^{N-k,n}} \) (complex conjugate). This reduces computation by ~50%, a critical optimization for resource-constrained systems (e.g., embedded IoT devices, real-time audio processing) where computational efficiency is paramount.
   - **Vectorization with NumPy**: Vectorized operations are an industry-standard for high-performance numerical computing. Using NumPy to compute multiple twiddle factors simultaneously avoids Python loop overhead, enabling processing of large signal datasets (e.g., 4096-point audio frames, high-resolution sensor data) efficiently.
   - **Caching (LRU Cache)**: Frequent reuse of standard DFT sizes (e.g., 1024, 2048, 4096 in audio processing) justifies caching precomputed twiddle matrices. This eliminates redundant calculations in streaming applications (e.g., live audio analysis, real-time radar signal processing).

2. **DFT Application with `apply_dft_matrix`**
   - **Normalization by \( \sqrt{N} \)**: This ensures compliance with Parseval's theorem (energy conservation between time and frequency domains), a requirement in precision signal processing use cases like medical electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and high-fidelity audio equalization.
   - **Sparse Matrix Conversion**: When the twiddle matrix has sparsity > 90% (common in sparse signal scenarios like radar target detection or compressed sensing), converting to CSR (Compressed Sparse Row) format reduces memory footprint and accelerates matrix-vector multiplication. This is a standard practice in large-scale signal processing and machine learning for sparse data.
   - **Unit Modulus Validation**: Twiddle factors theoretically have a magnitude of 1. Deviations indicate numerical errors or invalid inputs, which degrade DFT accuracy. Warning for such deviations is critical in high-precision industries like aerospace sensor data processing and precision manufacturing vibration analysis.

3. **Magnitude Spectrum Calculation**
   - **Magnitude Spectrum Significance**: The magnitude spectrum of a DFT result is used to analyze signal frequency content, enabling applications like audio spectrum visualization, industrial machinery fault diagnosis (via vibration frequency peaks), and wireless signal modulation recognition.
   - **Numerically Stable Magnitude Computation**: Using \( m \times \sqrt{(a/m)^2 + (b/m)^2} \) (where \( m = \max(|real|, |imag|) \)) instead of direct \( \sqrt{real^2 + imag^2} \) avoids floating-point overflow for large-value signals (e.g., seismic sensor data, high-voltage power system signals). This is a widely adopted numerical stability technique in scientific computing and engineering.
   - **Multi-Type Input Support**: Compatibility with lists, NumPy arrays, and SciPy sparse matrices caters to diverse industry workflows: lists for simple prototyping, NumPy arrays for standard scientific computing, and sparse matrices for large-scale sparse signal processing in telecommunications and geophysics.

**Dependence Context**:
The code relies on industry-standard Python libraries:
- `numpy` for vectorized numerical operations (de facto standard for scientific computing in signal processing)
- `scipy.sparse` for sparse matrix optimization (critical for large-scale sparse signal applications)
- `functools.lru_cache` for caching frequently used DFT sizes (streamline real-time processing workflows)
- `cmath`/`math` for robust complex arithmetic and trigonometric calculations

Input/Output: The problem receives two inputs: n_points, a positive integer or float with integer value specifying the DFT size; and signal, a 1-dimensional list, tuple, or numpy array of numerical values (real or complex) representing the input signal. The problem generates three outputs: 1) A twiddle factor matrix, an n_points×n_points list of lists of complex numbers where each element (k,n) is exp(-2πi*k*n/n_points), optimized via conjugate symmetry, vectorization, and caching; 2) A DFT result, a list of complex numbers obtained by multiplying the normalized signal (by sqrt(n_points)) with the twiddle matrix, including input validation, sparsity handling, and warnings for non-unit modulus elements; 3) A magnitude spectrum, a list of non-negative real numbers computed from the DFT result using sqrt((Re/Max)^2 + (Im/Max)^2)*Max for numerical stability, supporting list/tuple, numpy array, and scipy sparse matrix inputs. The processing flow is: generate the twiddle matrix from n_points, apply it to the normalized signal to produce the DFT result, then derive the magnitude spectrum from the DFT result.
