Abstract
A Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) method and apparatus is implemented using a radix-r butterfly design based on a reduced single phase of calculation, termed a butterfly-processing element (BPE). Butterfly calculations are each executed in the same number of iterations, and comprised of substantially identical butterfly-processing elements. The resulting algorithm, in which a number of parallel processors operate simultaneously by a single instruction sequence, reduces both the computational burden and the communication burden. The use of substantially identical butterfly-processing elements, repeated in combination to form a radix-r butterfly, enables the design of FFT butterflies containing identical structures and a systematic means of accessing the corresponding multiplier coefficients stored in memory. The butterfly-processing element substantially reduces the complexity of the radix-r butterfly, particularly for higher order radices. In particular, starting from the basic DFT equations, the adder matrix is factored and combined with the twiddle matrix to form a single phase of calculation. By grouping all the multiply calculations into one calculation phase and all the addition calculations into the remaining calculation phases, the total number of calculations is reduced and the degree of parallelism is increased. Trivial multiplications, encountered during the execution of particular butterflies, are avoided by simple checks on the coefficient addresses. An efficient address generator is provided to access or store the twiddle factors, the input data and the output data.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
