Name: Power-of-two FFTs
ID: m12059
Language: English (en)
Summary: FFTs of length equal to a power of two are by far the most commonly used. Radix-2 decimation-in-time and decimation-in-frequency algorithms are the simplest power-of-two algorithms. Radix-4 and higher-radix algorithms require somewhat fewer complex multiplications but the same number of complex additions. The split-radix algorithm requires fewer complex multiplies than other power-of-two algorithms.
Subject: Science and Technology
