What is the difference between radix-2 and radix 4?
Radix-4 FFT Algorithm
A stage is half of radix-2. The radix-4 DIF FFT divides an N-point discrete Fourier transform (DFT) into four N 4 -point DFTs, then into 16 N 16 -point DFTs, and so on. In the radix-2 DIF FFT, the DFT equation is expressed as the sum of two calculations.
What is radix-2 FFT algorithm?
Radix-2 algorithm is a member of the family of so called Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms. It computes separately the DFTs of the even-indexed inputs (x0,x2,...,xN−2) and of the odd-indexed inputs (x1,x3,...,xN−1), and then combines those two results to produce the DFT of the whole sequence.
