Abstract

A process circuit is disclosed for computing a fast Fourier transform (FFT). In one embodiment, the processing circuit includes a memory device, a multiplier, a detector, a state machine, and a circuit for performing the 2's compliment of a coefficient. The memory storage device stores data values and coefficient (or twiddle) values. The detector integrates a date pointer with the state machine. The detector is designed to identify the symmetry lines (by memory address). The state machine, when notified by the detector that a line of symmetry has been encountered, appropriately adjusts either the coefficients, the imaginary sign, or the real sign for input to a multiplier.
