- The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a computationally efficient
- algorithm to compute the discrete fourier transform.
-
- There are two methods that are commonly used to compute the
- FFT: Decimation in Time and Decimation in Frequency. The author
- chooses to use the decimation in time.
-
- The FFT programs written by the author assume that the user
- has some background knowledge.
-
- The FFT programs require that the number of data points be a
- power of two. Some modifications would be needed to transform a
- length other than a power of two. Please contact the author if
- you are interested in the modifications.
-
- If you are using real data the computational efficiency can
- be further improved by modifying the transform to take advantage
- of certain properties of Fourier Transforms.
-
- Modifications:
- --------------
-
- - added Turbo Graphix Toolbox routines for plots
-
- - magnitude and phase (-pi/2 to pi/2) are displayed versus N points
-
- - GETDATA.PAS slightly modified ===> GETDATA2.PAS
-
- - FFT.COM requires both 8087 & Hercules Graphics board
-
-
- Problems:
- ---------
-
- - If the real parts are zero, you will get a run-time error
- regarding a divide by zero during phase calculations. This
- will try to be corrected on future versions.

-
- List of some Fourier Analysis Programs available
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- FFT.PAS - Turbo Pascal version of a complete FFT program
- with data input from files and data output to
- either files or printer.
- The program works but could use a little work
- on the input and output sections.
- It does not know if an output file already
- exists and could write over another data file.
-
- FFT.COM - Compiled version of the above.
-
- PROCFFT.PAS - Turbo Pascal FFT 'procedure'.
-
- CHIRPZ.COM - Evaluating the Fourier Transform along a different contour.
-
- FFT.EXE - Compiled Basica FFT.
-
- FFT.BAS - Source code for FFT.EXE.
-
- DFT.EXE - Discrete Fourier Transform - Compiled Basica
-
- DFT.BAS - Source code for DFT.EXE
-
-
- Data gathering for the Turbo Pascal FFT's
-
- GETDATA2.PAS - Crude program to enter complex data into a
- random access file. This program was written
- to enter test data. Although it is crude, it
- works. In most cases the data will be gathered
- from a source and dumped into a random access
- file that can be read by the program. If
- entering data by hand is desired, this file
- needs to be modified so that an editing
- capability is added.
-
- GETDATA2.COM - Turbo-87 compiled version of GETDATA2.PAS.
- - requires an 8087
-
- Hopefully, the author will find time to modify some of the
- problems mentioned above. If not, you are more than welcome to
- modify them yourselves. If you do modify the programs, please
- download them to the Biomedical Engineering RBBS.
