Fast Fourier Transform: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:48, 24 July 2019

Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an efficient algorithm for calculating the discrete fourier transform (DFT). The FFT produces the same results as a DFT but it reduces the execution time by hundreds in some cases. Whereas DFT takes an order of $O(n^{2})\,$ computations, FFT takes an order of $O(n\,\log \,n)$ , and is definitely the preferred algorithm to be used in all applications in terms of computational complexity. The FFT in most implementations consistent of samples that are exactly a power of 2, this is commonly known as a FFT Radix 2 algorithm where $n=64,128,256,512,1024,2048$ etc.
