How do you calculate twiddle factor?

In Figure 1 the twiddle factors are shown as e^–j2πQ/N, where variable Q is merely an integer in the range of 0 ≤ Q ≤ (N/2)–1. To simplify this blog's follow-on figures, we'll use Figures 1(c) and 1(d) to represent the DIF and DIT butterflies.

What is twiddle factor in FFT?

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.

What are twiddle factors used for?

Twiddle factors are complex number constants used when recursively combining results from smaller discrete Fourier T ransforms in the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) calculation process.
