Abstract

A wholly digital system for computing the discrete Fourier transform of sequentially received data in a recursive fashion. Two parallel shift registers store and shift the real and imaginary components of the complex number X.sub.k + iY.sub.k. The data in the parallel registers are successively shifted one bit per strobe in response to receipt of new data. Additional logic operates recursively on successive data inputs to compute the discrete Fourier transform.
