# 1.5 Fast convolution using the fft

 Page 1 / 1
This module describes FFT, convolution, filtering, LTI systems, digital filters and circular convolution.

## Important application of the fft

How many complex multiplies and adds are required to convolve two $N$ -pt sequences? $y(n)=\sum_{m=0}^{N-1} x(m)h(n-m)$

There are $2N-1$ non-zero output points and each will be computed using $N$ complex mults and $N-1$ complex adds. Therefore, $\text{Total Cost}=(2N-1)(N+N-1)\approx O(N^{2})$

• Zero-pad these two sequences to length $2N-1$ , take DFTs using the FFT algorithm $x(n)\to X(k)$ $h(n)\to H(k)$ The cost is $O((2N-1)\lg (2N-1))=O(N\lg N)$
• Multiply DFTs $X(k)H(k)$ The cost is $O(2N-1)=O(N)$
• Inverse DFT using FFT $X(k)H(k)\to y(n)$ The cost is $O((2N-1)\lg (2N-1))=O(N\lg N)$

So the total cost for direct convolution of two $N$ -point sequences is $O(N^{2})$ . Total cost for convolution using FFT algorithm is $O(N\lg N)$ . That is a huge savings ( ).

## Summary of dft

• $x(n)$ is an $N$ -point signal ( ).
• $X(k)=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-(i\frac{2\pi }{N}kn)}=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n){W}_{N}^{(kn)}$ where ${W}_{N}=e^{-(i\frac{2\pi }{N})}$ is a "twiddle factor" and the first part is the basic DFT.

## What is the dft

$X(k)=X(F=\frac{k}{N})=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-(i\times 2\pi Fn)}$ where $X(F=\frac{k}{N})$ is the DTFT of $x(n)$ and $\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(n)e^{-(i\times 2\pi Fn)}$ is the DTFT of $x(n)$ at digital frequency $F$ . This is a sample of the DTFT. We can do frequency domain analysis on a computer!

## Inverse dft (idft)

$x(n)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} X(k)e^{i\frac{2\pi }{N}kn}$

• Build $x(n)$ using Simple complex sinusoidal building block signals
• Amplitude of each complex sinusoidal building block in $x(n)$ is $\frac{1}{N}X(k)$

## Dft

$↔(x(n)\mathop{\mathrm{xor}}h(n), X(k)H(k))$

## Regular convolution from circular convolution

• Zero pad $x(n)$ and $h(n)$ to $\mathrm{length}=\mathrm{length}(x)+\mathrm{length}(h)-1$
• Zero padding increases frequency resolution in DFT domain ( )

## The fast fourier transform (fft)

• Efficient computational algorithm for calculating the DFT
• "Divide and conquer"
• Break signal into even and odd samples keep taking shorter and shorter DFTs, then build $N$ -pt DFT by cleverly combining shorter DFTs
• $N$ -pt DFT: $O(N^{2})\to O(N\log_{2}N)$

## Fast convolution

• Use FFT's to compute circular convolution of zero-padded signals
• Much faster than regular convolution if signal lengths are long
• $O(N^{2})\to O(N\log_{2}N)$

I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
