Question 2

Diagram of 8-pt FFT.

File:HW5Q1fig2.jpg

Recall the definition of DFT:

$ X[k]=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]e^{-j2\pi k/N} $

In this question N=8

If we use summation formula to compute DFT, for each k, we need N times complex multiplications and N-1 times complex additions.

In total, we need N*N=64 times of complex multiplications and N*(N-1)=56 times of complex additions.

In decimation-in-time FFT algorithm, we keep on decimating the number of points by 2 until we get 2 points DFT. At most, we can decimate $ v=log_2 N $ times. As a result, we get v levels of DFT. Except for the first level (2-pt FFT), which only needs N times complex additions, for the rest of levels, we need N/2 times of complex multiplications and N times of complex additions.

In total, we need $ \frac{N}{2}(log_2 N -1)=8 $ times of complex multiplications and $ Nlog_2 N=24 $ times of complex additions.

(Note: when $ N $ is large, $ log_2 N -1 \approx log_2 N $. So the number of multiplications becomes $ \frac{N}{2}log_2 N $.)
