Description:
This book presents an introduction to the principles of the fast Fourier transform. The book covers FFTs, frequency domain filtering, and applications to video and audio signal processing. It feeds the demand for an updated book reflecting the various developments in FFT and its applications, and it fills the need from instructors and students for a book dealing with the latest FFT topics. It also has adopted modern approaches like MATLAB examples and projects for better understanding of diverse FFTs. The emphasis of the book is on the foundation of FFTs such as the decimation-in-time FFT, decimation-in-frequency FFT algorithms, integer FFT, prime factor DFT and so on. It includes references to books, review papers, lists of applications, hardware/software, and useful websites.

From the reviews:
The new book Fast Fourier Transform - Algorithms and Applications by Dr. K.R. Rao, Dr. D.N. Kim, and Dr. J.J. Hwang is an engaging look in the world of FFT algorithms and applications. This book not only provides detailed description of a wide-variety of FFT algorithms, gives the mathematical derivations of these algorithms, plentiful helpful flow diagrams illustrating the algorithms, and MATLAB programsthe book also presents novel topics in depth (for example, integer FFTs, the non-uniform DFT, phase-only correlation, image and audio watermarking, the curvelet transform, and many more) with insightful motivation, explanation, and numerous examples and programs. The authors also provide insight into issues related to implementation of FFTs on different hardware platforms. Excellent aspects of the book are the plentiful numerical examples illustrating the properties of the DFT and a most impressive number of applications of the FFT- including applications in communications, image restoration, and descriptions of audio coding standards that rely on the FFT (MPEG, AC-2) to name only a few. The book also supplies a generous number of exercises and computer projects. In addition, throughout the book the authors present and discuss the research literature at length and include many healthy doses of pointers to the literature which provides a pathway for specialized further study.
