Improved radix-4 and radix-8 FFT algorithms

Saad Bouguezel, M. Omair Ahmad, M.N.S. Swamy · 2004

In this paper, improved algorithms for radix-4 and radix-8 FFT are presented. This is achieved by re-indexing a subset of the output samples resulting from the conventional decompositions in the radix-4 and radix-8 FFT algorithms. These modified radix-4 and radix-8 algorithms provide savings of more than 33% and 42% respectively in the number of twiddle factor evaluations or accesses to the lookup table compared to the corresponding conventional FFT algorithms without imposing any additional complexity.
