Abstract From the Canadian patent

Since the invention of the radix-2 structure for the computation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) by Cooley and Tukey in 1965 the DFT has been widely used for the, frequency-domain analysis and design of signals and systems in communications digital, signal processing, and in other areas of science and engineering. While the Cooley-Tukey structure is simpler, regular, and efficient it has some drawbacks such as more complex multiplications than required by higher-radix structures and the overhead operations of, bit-reversal and data-swapping. The present invention provides a large family of radix-2 structures for the computation of the DFT of a discrete signal of N samples. A member …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 23, 1992 and granted August 25, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 23, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 23, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
