Abstract
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are core components in the field of signal processing. However, in the existing research, there is no fully analog circuit that can realize the one-step calculation of FFT. Therefore, in this paper, an analog circuit that can calculate FFT and its inverse transform IFFT in one-step is proposed. First, a circuit that can realize complex number operations is designed. On the basis of this structure, a fully analog circuit that can realize fast and efficient computing of FFT and IFFT in one-step is proposed. In addition, different coefficient matching can be obtained to achieve arbitrary points of FFT and IFFT by adjusting the resistance value of the memristor, which has good programmability. Specific examples are given in the paper to evaluate the proposed method. The PSPICE simulation results show that the average accuracy is above 99.98%. More importantly, the calculation speed has been greatly improved compared with MATLAB simulation. Finally, the proposed circuit can be used to quickly solve convolution operation, and the average accuracy can reach 99.95%.
