Switched-capacitor DFT and IDFT circuit

Abstract

The switched-capacitor realization of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is treated in this paper as well as the inverse discrete Fourier transform (1DFT). The output of the DFT has a sinusoidal waveform including the amplitude and phase information of the required spectra. These spectra are given simultaneously and almost in real time. The output of the 1DFT is given merely by adding DFT outputs. Furthermore, the circuit configuration of this system-from input to DFT, from DFT to 1DFT, and from 1DFT to output-is a very simple configuration constructed by a non-recursive filter circuit.
