to many professional areas strongly qualifies the subjectfor introduction at an early stage in one’s academic career. A good introduction to the Fouriertransform is the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The FFT is an efficient algorithm based on thediscrete Fourier transform (DFT) for converting time domain sequences into frequency domainsequences. The results obtained by the FFT are exactly the same results that are obtained by theDFT, not an approximation of the DFT. Whereas the evaluation of an N-point DFT requires N 2complex multiplications and additions, the FFT method (assuming N is power of 2) requires Nlog2 N calculations. Thus, the FFT calculations become significantly less than the DFTcalculations as N gets larger. The inclusion of the
