Researchers have developed a new algorithm that, in a large range of practically important cases, improves on the fast Fourier transform. Under some circumstances, the improvement can be dramatic -- a ...

Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...

A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image compression by improving on the Fourier Transform. They say the new algorithm is up to ten times faster than ...

Since the release of NI LabVIEW 8.5 software, the new fixed-point numeric data type has opened up an entirely new world of possibilities for signal processing in LabVIEW FPGA. The most recent example ...

COFDM, the modulation method used by most terrestrial DTV standards, depends on implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for demodulating the thousands of carriers used in OFDM system. An ...

When James Cooley and John Tukey introduced the Fast Fourier transform in 1965, it revolutionized signal processing and set us on course to an array of technological breakthroughs. But today’s ...

Sparse Fourier Transform (SFT) algorithms constitute a transformative approach to spectral analysis by leveraging the inherent sparsity of signals in the frequency domain. In contrast to the ...

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) using a divide-and-conquer approach. A DFT can transform any discrete signal, such as an image, to and ...

You probably have at least a nodding familiarity with the Fourier transform, a mathematical process for transforming a time-domain signal into a frequency domain signal. In particular, for computers, ...
