Rethinking the FFT

It is well known that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is of central importance to many signal processing applications, in particular high data-rate multicarrier applications such as wireless communications, which is the second largest market for semiconductor chips. Here a DFT is required in a large variety of wireless transmission protocols that are based on some form of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

The IoT is turning software development upside down

There are many complexities to a ‘disconnected’ embedded system, but at least the software is operating within a defined domain of memory and processors, together with the I/O registers that connect to real-world sensors, timers, displays and actuators
