The Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an efficient algorithm for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform. The FFT is a block-based algorithm.

Introduction

The Fast Fourier Transform ( FFT ) can be used to analyze the spectral content of a signal. Recallthat the FFT is an efficient algorithm for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform ( DFT ), a frequency-sampled version of the DTFT .

X k n 0 N 1 x n 2 N n k
where n k 0 1 N 1

Because the FFT is a block-based algorithm, its computation is performed at the block I/O rate, in contrast to otherexercises in which processing occurred on a sample-by-sample basis.
