Abstract

This paper presents both worst case and average case analysis of roundoff errors occuring in the floating point computation of the recursive moving window discrete Fourier transform (DFT) with precomputed twiddle factors. We show the strong influence of precomputation errors – both within the initial fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the recursion – on the numerical stability. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results.
