The key word is "circular convolution".

Hi!

Thanks. Would you have any references to why
you have to XX=fft(X,1,2*L);
double length of FFT with zero padding?

Thanks!

You are using matlab, right? Try this (I haven't tested it, so no 
guarantees about the details):

Y= [y1,y2,y3,...,yn]; % All the ys are stored as colomns in a matrix.
                      % If the ys are of different length, append zeros.

M=length(Y(:,1));     % Length of columns in matrix Y

N= length(x);         % Length of data, which is stored as column vector

L= max(M,N);

% MAke data matrix from x vector
X=x*ones(1,length(Y(1,:)));

% Compute DFT of columns of X and Y. Zero-pad the shorter sequence 
% to match the length of the longer one, and correct for wrap-around
% effects. The details can be a bit more elegant...

XX=fft(X,1,2*L);        
YY=fft(Y,1,2*L); 

SXY= XX.*conj(YY);
rsy=fftshift(real(ifft(SXY,1)));

The one thing that remains is to find the correct time axes.

Hi!

I would like to speed up a cross correlation
application  which looks like this:

x has to be cross-correlated with "n" different
length y's.

I would like to precompute the FFT of the x
before making the convolution with all the y's.
Thats why I dont want to use the classic
convolution and cross correlation functions
available in Matlab. (nor the filtering functions).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
