A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an algorithm that computes the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse (IDFT). A Fourier transform converts a signal from its original domain (often time or space) to a representation in the frequency domain and vice versa.
The Cooley–Tukey algorithm, named after J. W. Cooley and John Tukey, is the most common fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. It re-expresses the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of an arbitrary composite size = in terms of N 1 smaller DFTs of sizes N 2, recursively, to reduce the computation time to O(N log N) for highly composite N (smooth numbers).
The two methods are also compared in Figure 3, created by Matlab simulation. The contours are lines of constant ratio of the times it takes to perform both methods. When the overlap-add method is faster, the ratio exceeds 1, and ratios as high as 3 are seen. Fig 3: Gain of the overlap-add method compared to a single, large circular convolution.
The split-radix FFT is a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and was first described in an initially little-appreciated paper by R. Yavne (1968) and subsequently rediscovered simultaneously by various authors in 1984.
where:. DFT N and IDFT N refer to the Discrete Fourier transform and its inverse, evaluated over N discrete points, and; L is customarily chosen such that N = L+M-1 is an integer power-of-2, and the transforms are implemented with the FFT algorithm, for efficiency.
We now take the discrete Fourier transform of the arrays , in the ring / (′ +), using the root of unity for the Fourier basis, giving the transformed arrays ^, ^. Because D = 2 k {\displaystyle D=2^{k}} is a power of two, this can be achieved in logarithmic time using a fast Fourier transform .
Fourier transform (bottom) is zero except at discrete points. The inverse transform is a sum of sinusoids called Fourier series. Center-right: Original function is discretized (multiplied by a Dirac comb) (top). Its Fourier transform (bottom) is a periodic summation of the original transform.
This is a naive approach, however, we already know that an N-point 1-D DFT can be computed with far fewer than multiplications by using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. As described in the next section we can develop Fast Fourier transforms for calculating 2-D or higher dimensional DFTs as well [ 3 ]
