Delay estimation by FFT

Summary: The delay between a signal and a reference appears in the frequency domain as linear phase shift. It can be estimated with subsample accuracy using FFT methods.This article provides a ...

Computing Large DFTs Using Small FFTs

It is possible to compute N-point discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) using radix-2 fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) whose sizes are less than N. For example, let's say the largest size FFT software ro...

Using Mason's Rule to Analyze DSP Networks

There have been times when I wanted to determine the z-domain transfer function of some discrete network, but my algebra skills failed me. Some time ago I learned Mason's Rule, which helped me sol...

Spectral Flipping Around Signal Center Frequency

Most of us are familiar with the process of flipping the spectrum (spectral inversion) of a real signal by multiplying that signal's time samples by (-1)n. In that process the center of spectral rotat...

Computing Chebyshev Window Sequences

Chebyshev windows (also called Dolph-Chebyshev, or Tchebyschev windows), have several useful properties. Those windows, unlike the fixed Hanning, Hamming, or Blackman window functions, have adjustab...

Computing an FFT of Complex-Valued Data Using a Real-Only FFT Algorithm

Someone recently asked me if I knew of a way to compute a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of complex-valued input samples using an FFT algorithm that accepts only real-valued input data. Knowing of no ...
