Hello
I am trying to compute DFT using FFT in BF535. My need is to compute DFT of
about 1 megasamples(1 million points). But since I'm very new to the field
and am using a DSP for the first time, I do not know whether this is possible.
If it is possible using BF535, how much time does it take to do it?
Thank you.

It's possible if you have enough ram. An FFT takes on the order of
N(logN) operations, so you are looking at 6 million operations. If each
"operation" is 10 clocks (it might be 100, I don't know) you are looking
at 60 to 600 million clocks or .1 to 1 second.
You'll need one hell of a big sine table too, but if you have enough ram
that only has to be set up once.
Patience, persistence, truth,

Hi,
I have the same problem as well. I want to interpolate the DFT to get the DTFT and then take the appropriate frequency range to get the CTFT. To plot this on my PC (via USB) what software can I use. Is this option available in VisualDSP? In the VisualDSP manual, I read that, it takes the FFT before plotting the data. If it does, then one won't require the processor at all for computing DFT! Am I right in assuming the above thing(s)? Please guide me.

Hi Abhi,
Do you want to FFT of given array lenght 1 m?
or
u are interested in doing FFT of array length 1024.
( may be many 1024 lenght array will form a 1 m lenght data).
Based on the above we can think on for you.
Kind Regards
jk
