A guided tour of the fast Fourier transform

Checking your access to this record.

Abstract & Overview

For some time the Fourier transform has served as a bridge between the time domain and the frequency domain. It is now possible to go back and forth between waveform and spectrum with enough speed and economy to create a whole new range of applications for this classic mathematical device. This article is intended as a primer on the fast Fourier transform, which has revolutionized the digital processing of waveforms. The reader's attention is especially directed to the IEEE Transactions on Audio and Electroacoustics for June 1969, a special issue devoted to the fast Fourier transform.
