Abstract
A device for calculating a discrete, moving window and non-recurrent Fourier transform, especially applicable to the processing of a pulse compression radar signal. The device includes N stages which, on the basis of samples of the input signal, each give a signal of the form: ##EQU1## where k is the index of the stage (O<k<N), m the index of the window and N the number of samples in the window, N being a multiple of four. The complex rotations of the expressions (1) and (3) are each broken down into a rotation in the first quadrant of the complex plane, a rotation common to N stages and a supplementary rotation specific to each stage, achieved by addition-subtraction.
