Abstract-Fourier Transforms (FTs) are the key to all modern, OFDM-based (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmission schemes. This paper demonstrates the principles and the efficient implementation of arbitrary length FTs, using divide and conquer techniques for decomposition into "atomic" transforms. Using "Digital Radio Mondiale" as an example, we will present generalized FT processing hardware, its complexity, processing time, precision and design re-use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
