Implementation and performance of the fast Hartley transform

The authors investigated the implementation aspects of the fast Hartley transform (FHT) in both software and hardware. They describe the modifications required to convert existing fast Fourier transform (FFT) programs to execute FHTs, showing the ease with which these modifications can be implemented. They compare execution time and memory storage requirements of both transforms and present power spectrum calculation and convolution as illustrative examples to compare the performances of the two transform techniques. They also give a comparative survey of the performances of various microprocessors and digital signal processors in FFT and FHT computation.<
