Hello, I am in academia so my knowledge on FFT are limited to what I find in basic DSP books. I have a question on scalable FFT. This is mainly regarded to OFDMA where they supports different bin numbers, ranging from 128 to 2048. Now my question is how this is implemented in a FFT hardware module. I think different methods must be using by different manufactureres. But I am interested in a standard/general approach. For example, if I want to do a 4-point FFT on a 8-point FFT module, is the output taken from the first stage, instead of the 2nd stage for the 8-point case? I am considering a raidx-2 butterfly structure. The case is more complicated when you have to support from 128~2048 range. Specifically, I would like to know: 1) Are the twiddle factors changed dynamically to the required FFT points? 2) If so are they usually stored in some memory and read in? 3) OR am I getting the whole scalable FFT thing wrongly? Thank you.
