. For N input time domain samples spectral content at N

equally spaced frequency points
. DFT output sum of point to point product b/w i/p
sequence and complex sinusoid.

 NON-OVERLAPPED FFT

Input data frames of N samples FFT

Poor time resolution

 OVERLAPPED FFT
Input data overlapped FFT

Data overlap 128/192 (256)

Advantages: increases output rate, time resolution without

degrading frequency resolution.
Disadvantages: implementation complexity
 CASCADED FIR FILTER BASED
ARCHITECTURE

Input band M wide filters.

Each M filter N narrow filters

Threshold is applied for each filter output.

Good time resolution

Narrow filters used filter order increase

number of multipliers.
 FFT+FIR FILTER ARCHITECTURE

Detection of FFT four FIR filters

Parameter measurement 4I and 4Q decimated

filters.
Better time resolution simple FFT.

Requires extra storage.
