Abstract
The invention is an apparatus and process for performing a discrete Fourier transform and a digital channelizer which divides an input bandwidth into at least some of N channels. An apparatus for performing a discrete Fourier transform in accordance with the invention includes at least one discrete Fourier transform computation stage ( ), the at least one discrete Fourier transform computation stage having N inputs representing preselected frequency bands with each input containing an input signal containing real data and P actual outputs each containing an output signal, P being less than N, at least one of the P actual output signals containing a conjugate of one of the N input frequency bands; and a processing device ( ), coupled to at least one P actual output containing a signal which is a conjugate, which processes the conjugate as representative of one of the N input frequency bands.
