Abstract
A new DFT computation method based on a subband decomposition is outlined for one- and two-dimensional (2-D) real-valued finite-length sequences. The two distinct parts of the algorithm, a preprocessing Hadamard-transform stage and a 'correction' stage are interpreted as a filter bank plus a recombination network, and are compared to the corresponding filter bank interpretation of the direct DFT and the classical FFT algorithms. The preprocessing stage decomposes the original sequence into a set of smaller length subsequences approximately separated in the spectral domain. The overall DFT is then given by a weighted sum of smaller length DFTs with the weights determined by the recombination network. The frequency-separation property of the subsequences permits elimination of the subsequences with negligible energy contribution from the DFT calculation thus resulting in a fast approximate DFT computation method. Various implementation schemes for the subband DFT computation method are outlined. As a first extension, adaptive versions are described, finding the band(s) of interest automatically. Furthermore, a generalized preprocessing stage as well as the extension to the 2-D case are addressed.
