Case C output in numeric form

The output produced by the code in Listing 7 is shown in Figure 14 .

If you plot the real and imaginary input values from Listing 7 , you will see that they match the input values in Figure 13 . If you plot the real and imaginary output values in Figure 14 , you will see that they match the output values shown in Figure 13 .

Listing 7 signals the end of the main method.

The display method

Listing 8 shows the code for a simple method named display . The purpose of the display method is to display a real series and an imaginary series, each contained in an incoming array object of type double . The double values are truncated to no more than four digits before displaying them. Then they aredisplayed on a single line.

Listing 8. The display method.
static void display(double[] real,double[] imag){System.out.println("Real: "); for(int cnt=0;cnt<real.length;cnt++){ System.out.print(((int)(1000.0*real[cnt])) /1000.0 + " ");}//end for loop System.out.println();System.out.println("imag: "); for(int cnt=0;cnt<imag.length;cnt++){ System.out.print(((int)(1000.0*imag[cnt])) /1000.0 + " ");}//end for loop System.out.println();}//end display }//end class Fft02

Listing 8 also signals the end of the controlling class named Fft02 .

Run the program

I encourage you to copy and compile the program that you will find in Listing 9 . Experiment with different complex input series.

I also encourage you to download the applet from (External Link) or from here and experiment with it as well. Compare the numeric output produced by this program with the graphic output produced by theapplet.

Finally, I encourage you to examine the source code for the applet. Concentrate on that portion of the source code that performs the FFT. Hopefully,what you have learned in this module will make it easier for you to understand the source code for the FFT.

Summary

In this module, I have explained some of the underlying signal processing concepts that make the FFT possible. I illustrated those concepts in a programdesigned specifically to be as simple as possible while still illustrating the concepts.

Now that you understand those concepts, you should be able to better understand explanations of the mechanics of the FFT algorithm that appear onvarious websites.

Complete program listings

A complete listing of the program is provided in Listing 9 below.

Listing 9. Fft02.java.
/*File Fft02.java Copyright 2004, R.G.Baldwin Rev 4/30/04This program DOES NOT implement an FFT algorithm. Rather,this program illustrates the underlying FFT concepts in a form that is much more easilyunderstood than is normally the case with an actual FFT algorithm. The steps in theimplementation of a typical FFT algorithm are as follows:1. Decompose an N-point complex series into N individual complex values, each consisting of asingle complex sample. The order of the decomposition in an FFT algorithm is rathercomplicated. It is this order of decomposition, and the order of the subsequent recombination oftransform results that causes the FFT to be so fast. It is also that order that makes thealgorithm somewhat difficult to understand. This program does not implement that order ofdecomposition and recombination. 2. Calculate the transform of each of the Ncomplex samples, treating each as if it were located at the beginning of the complex series.This step is trivial. The real part of the transform of a single complex sample located atthe beginning of the series is a complex constant whose values are proportional to the real andimaginary values that make up the complex sample. 3. Correct each of the N transform results toreflect the actual position of the complex sample in the series. This involves the application ofsine and cosine curves to the real and imaginary parts of the transform. This step is usuallycombined with the recombination step that follows.4. Recombine the N transform results into a single transform result that represents thetransform of the original complex series. This is a very complicated operation in a real FFTalgorithm. It must reverse the order of decomposition in the first step describedearlier. As mentioned earlier, it is the order of the decomposition and subsequent recombinationthat minimizes the arithmetic operations required and gives the FFT its tremendous speed. Thisprogram does not implement the special order of decomposition and recombination used in an actualFFT algorithm. This program creates three separate complexseries, applies the processes listed above to each of those series, and displays the results onthe screen. No attempt is made to manage the decomposition and the subsequent recombination inthe manner of a true FFT algorithm. Therefore, this program is designed to illustrate theprocesses involved, and is not designed to provide the speed of a true FFT algorithm.The decomposition process in this program takes the complex samples in the order that they appearin the input complex series. The transform of each complex sample is simplythe sample itself. This is the result that would be obtained by actually computing the transformof the complex sample if the sample were the first sample in the series.The transform result for each complex sample is then corrected by applying sine and cosine curvesto reflect the actual position of the complex sample within the complex series.The real and imaginary parts of the corrected transform results are then added to accumulatorsthat are used to accumulate the corrected real and imaginary parts from the correctedtransforms for all of the individual complex samples.Once the real and imaginary parts have been accumulated for all of the complex samples, thereal part of the accumulator represents the real part of the transform of the original complexseries. The imaginary part of the accumulator represents the imaginary part of the transform ofthe original complex series.
