Fast Fourier Transform

FFT is a faster and efficient computational method for DFT. Fast Fourier transform reduces the number of computations required considerably when compared with DFT.

The signal is divided into 2 parts; the real and imaginary parts are calculated separately. The result is displayed as Z=X+IY i.e. Z= (real)+i(imaginary).
Thus, for a 4 point signal, two stages will be required which are executed using separate array multiplications.
FFT is used for parallel processing as it improves efficiency.
