Multiplierless Unity-Gain SDF FFTs

 Multiplierless Unity-Gain SDF FFTs

 A novel approach to implement multiplierless unity-gain single-delay feedback fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). Previous methods achieve unity-gain FFTs by using either complex multipliers or nonunity-gain rotators with additional scaling compensation. Conversely, this brief proposes unity-gain FFTs without compensation circuits, even when using nonunity-gain rotators. This is achieved by a joint design of rotators, so that the entire FFT is scaled by a power of two, which is then shifted to unity.
