where , and if is factored into two relatively prime factors , using residue reduction of and modulo and , the lower degree residue polynomials can be multiplied and the results recombined with theCRT. This is done by
where
and and are the CRT coefficient polynomials from [link] . This allows two shorter convolutions to replace one longer one.
Another property of residue reduction that is useful in DFT calculation is polynomial evaluation. To evaluate at , is reduced modulo .
This is easily seen from the definition in [link]
Evaluating gives which is a constant. For the DFT this becomes
Details of the polynomial algebra useful in digital signal processing can be found in [link] , [link] , [link] .
The Z-transform of a number sequence is defined as
which is the same as the polynomial description in [link] but with a negative exponent. For a finite length-N sequence [link] becomes
This order polynomial takes on the values of the DFT of when evaluated at
which gives
In terms of the positive exponent polynomial from [link] , the DFT is
where
is an root of unity (raising to the power gives one). The values of the DFT are found from evaluated at the N roots of unity which are equally spaced around the unit circle in the complex plane.
One method of evaluating is the so-called Horner's rule or nested evaluation. When expressed as a recursivecalculation, Horner's rule becomes the Goertzel algorithm which has some computational advantages especially when only a few values ofthe DFT are needed. The details and programs can be found in [link] , [link] and The DFT as Convolution or Filtering: Goertzel's Algorithm (or A Better DFT Algorithm)
Another method for evaluating is the residue reduction modulo as shown in [link] . Each evaluation requires multiplications and therefore, multiplications for the values of .
A considerable reduction in required arithmetic can be achieved if some operations can be shared between the reductions for differentvalues of . This is done by carrying out the residue reduction in stages that can be shared rather than done in one step for each in [link] .
The values of the DFT are values of evaluated at s equal to the roots of the polynomial which are . First, assuming is even, factor as
is reduced modulo these two factors to give two residue polynomials, and . This process is repeated by factoring and further reducing then factoring and reducing . This is continued until the factors are of first degree which gives the desired DFT values as in [link] . This is illustrated for a length-8 DFT. The polynomial whose roots are , factors as
where . Reducing by the first factoring gives two third degree polynomials
gives the residue polynomials
Two more levels of reduction are carried out to finally give the DFT. Close examination shows the resulting algorithm to be thedecimation-in-frequency radix-2 Cooley-Tukey FFT [link] , [link] . Martens [link] has used this approach to derive an efficient DFT algorithm.
Other algorithms and types of FFT can be developed using polynomial representations and some are presented in the generalization in DFT and FFT: An Algebraic View .
