Name: Radix-4 FFT Algorithms
ID: m12027
Language: English (en)
Summary: The decimation-in-time (DIT) radix-4 FFT recursively partitions a DFT into four quarter-length DFTs of groups of every fourth time sample. The outputs of these shorter FFTs are reused to compute many outputs, thus greatly reducing the total computational cost. The radix-4 decimation-in-frequency FFT groups every fourth output sample into shorter-length DFTs to save computations. The radix-4 FFTs require only 75% as many complex multiplies as the radix-2 FFTs.
