Jerry,
I agree with you, an anti-alias filter is needed even in my approach.
I was under the assumtion that the OP has already put in AAAF + ADC
and that the digital samples are now available for analysis.
Regards
Bharat

Bharat has already addressed this point. The Discrete Fourier Transform requires many computations if it is calculated in a straightforward way. There is a way to calculate precisely the same results much more quickly by reordering and combining some operations. That way is called the Fast Fourier Transform. Multiply six and nine; first by adding nine sixes, and second, by consulting a multiplication table. If the results differ, at least result is wrong.

Given the modern tools now available, the window method of filter design is cumbersome and leads to filters that require more than the optimum number of taps. What do you expect the Fourier Transform of a filter's coefficients to tell you?

Your understanding of text-message idiom is on a par with your understanding of filters and FTs. English isn't your first language. Avoid embarrassment by not getting cute with it.
