Flowgraphs of various radix-2 and 4 Cooley Tukey FFTs and Split Radix FFTs.

Signal flow graphs of cooley-tukey ffts

The following four figures are flow graphs for Radix-2 Cooley-Tukey FFTs. The first is a length-16, decimation-in-frequency Radix-2 FFT with the input data in order and output data scrambled. The first stage has 8 length-2 "butterflies" (which overlap in the figure) followed by 8 multiplications by powers of W which are called "twiddle factors". The second stage has 2 length-8 FFTs which are each calculated by 4 butterflies followed by 4 multiplies. The third stage has 4 length-4 FFTs, each calculated by 2 butterflies followed by 2 multiplies and the last stage is simply 8 butterflies followed by trivial multiplies by one. This flow graph should be compared with the index map in Polynomial Description of Signals , the polynomial decomposition in The DFT as Convolution or Filtering , and the program in Appendix 3 . In the program, the butterflies and twiddle factor multiplications are done together in the inner most loop. The outer most loop indexes through the stages. If the length of the FFT is a power of two, the number of stages is that power (log N).

The second figure below is a length-16, decimation-in-time FFT with the input data scrambled and output data in order. The first stage has 8 length-2 "butterflies" followed by 8 twiddle factors multiplications. The second stage has 4 length-4 FFTs which are each calculated by 2 butterflies followed by 2 multiplies. The third stage has 2 length-8 FFTs, each calculated by 4 butterflies followed by 8 multiplies and the last stage is simply 8 length-2 butterflies. This flow graph should be compared with the index map in Polynomial Description of Signals , the polynomial decomposition in The DFT as Convolution or Filtering , and the program in Appendix 3 . Here, the FFT must be preceded by a scrambler.

The third and fourth figures below are a length-16 decimation-in-frequency and a decimation-in-time but, in contrast to the figures above, the DIF has the output in order which requires a scrambled input and the DIT has the input in order which requires the output be unscrambled. Compare with the first two figures. Note the order of the twiddle factors. The number of additions and multiplications in all four flow graphs is the same and the structure of the three-loop program which executes the flow graph is the same.

This is a complex figure consisting of sixteen horizontal lines connected by various diagonal lines. The diagonal lines connect to the horizontal lines at eight different points.

Length-16, alternate Decimation-in-Time, In-order input, Radix-2 FFT

The following is a length-16, decimation-in-frequency Radix-4 FFT with the input data in order and output data scrambled. There are two stages with the first stage having 4 length-4 "butterflies" followed by 12 multiplications by powers of W which are called "twiddle factors. The second stage has 4 length-4 FFTs which are each calculated by 4 butterflies followed by 4 multiplies. Note, each stage here looks like two stages but it is one and there is only one place where twiddle factor multiplications appear. This flow graph should be compared with the index map in Polynomial Description of Signals , the polynomial decomposition in The DFT as Convolution or Filtering , and the program in Appendix 3 . Log to the base 4 of 16 is 2. The total number of twiddle factor multiplication here is 12 compared to 24 for the radix-2. The unscrambler is a base-four reverse order counter rather than a bit reverse counter, however, a modification of the radix four butterflies will allow a bit reverse counter to be used with the radix-4 FFT as with the radix-2.

This is a complex figure consisting of sixteen horizontal lines connected by various diagonal lines. The diagonal lines connect to the horizontal lines at eight different points. The lines will be referenced by order from top to bottom, and the points will be referenced by numbered dots from left to right in this description. All of the connected diagonal segments referenced as a group move in the same direction systematically, do not cross paths, and connect only one dot to another. The first dot on lines one through eight are connected to the second dot on lines nine through sixteen, with each line crossing and moving down eight spaces. Conversely, the first dot on lines nine through sixteen connect to the second dot on lines one through eighteen. In the upper half of the next section, the third dots on lines one through four connect to the fourth dots on lines five through eight.

The seventh dots on even numbered lines connect to the eighth dots on the odd numbered line above them, and the seventh dots on odd numbered lines connect to the eighth dots on the even numbered lines below them. There are various sections of the figure that are labeled with a variable. First, to the left of each horizontal lines and dot number one, the lines are labeled in order from x(0) to x(15) from top to bottom. In between dots two and three on lines thirteen through sixteen is the label -j. In between dots four and five for lines five through sixteen are labels that read from top to bottom, w^0, w^2, w^4, w^6, w^0, w^1, w^2, w^3, w^4, w^5, w^6, and w^7.

Length-16, Decimation-in-Frequency, In-order input, Radix-4 FFT

The following two flowgraphs are length-16, decimation-in-frequency Split Radix FFTs with the input data in order and output data scrambled. Because the "butterflies" are L shaped, the stages do not progress uniformly like the Radix-2 or 4. These two figures are the same with the first drawn in a way to compare with the Radix-2 and 4, and the second to illustrate the L shaped butterflies. These flow graphs should be compared with the index map in Polynomial Description of Signals and the program in Appendix 3 . Because of the non-uniform stages, the program indexing is more complicated. Although the number of twiddle factor multiplications is 12 as was the radix-4 case, for longer lengths, the split-radix has slightly fewer multiplications than the radix-4.

Because the structures of the radix-2, radix-4, and split-radix FFTs are the same, the number of data additions is same for all of them. However, each complex twiddle factor multiplication requires two real additions (and four real multiplications) the number of additions will be fewer for the structures with fewer multiplications.
