Study Notes

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)

Two-dimensional array representation is used for input and output in the FFT process.
The interconnections in the five- and three-point Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs) align with the mixed-radix algorithm.
Unlike mixed-radix FFTs, five- and three-point DFTs do not involve twiddle factors.
Input and output arrays have distinct ordering, which impacts processing.

Prime Factor Algorithm

The 15-point prime factor algorithm provides an efficient alternative to traditional FFTs.
Key advantage includes reducing computational cost by eliminating eight complex multiplications associated with twiddle factors.
Illustrated with a diagram, showcasing the relationships and structure of the algorithm.

Radix-2 FFT Algorithms

Sequence length considerations for convolution involve x(n) of length 1024 and sequence h(n) of length L.
Direct convolution may be more efficient than using inverse DFT and radix-2 FFT under certain conditions related to the length L.
Understanding optimal values of L helps determine when to use direct convolution methods over FFT-based approaches.
