What is the difference between overlap add and overlap save?
Two methods that make linear convolution look like circular convolution are overlap-save and overlap-add. The overlap-save procedure cuts the signal up into equal length segments with some overlap. Then it takes the DFT of the segments and saves the parts of the convolution that correspond to the circular convolution.
What is overlap add and save method?
The overlap-add method breaks a long sequence, x(n) , into signals of shorter length and calculates the convolution of each block independently. To arrive at the final result, we need to apply an appropriate time shift to the convolution of the blocks and add them together.
Why we go for overlap add and overlap save method rather than direct convolution?
The overlap-add method is used to break long signals into smaller segments for easier processing. FFT convolution uses the overlap-add method together with the Fast Fourier Transform, allowing signals to be convolved by multiplying their frequency spectra.
Why do we use overlap save method?
The overlap–save algorithm can be extended to include other common operations of a system: additional IFFT channels can be processed more cheaply than the first by reusing the forward FFT. sampling rates can be changed by using different sized forward and inverse FFTs.
