What is twiddle factor formula?

A twiddle factor, in fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, is any of the trigonometric constant coefficients that are multiplied by the data in the course of the algorithm. This term was apparently coined by Gentleman & Sande in 1966, and has since become widespread in thousands of papers of the FFT literature.

Why do we use twiddle factor w )?

Why do we use twiddle factors? We use the twiddle factor to reduce the computational complexity of calculating DFT and IDFT. Alternatively, we can also say that the twiddle factor has periodicity/a cyclic property.

How do you calculate twiddle factor in DFT?

For convenience, we write e^-i2*pi*k*n/N = W^k*n.

What is FFT formula?

The fast Fourier transform has become a major DSP tool since being popularized by Cooley and Tuckey in 1965. In the FFT formula, the DFT equation X(k) = ∑x(n)W_N^nk is decomposed into a number of short transforms and then recombined.
