Description
Note
The Overlap-Add FFT Filter block has been replaced with the Frequency-Domain FIR Filter block. Existing instances of the Overlap-Add FFT Filter block continue to run.
The Overlap-Add FFT Filter block uses an FFT to implement the overlap-add method, a technique that combines successive frequency-domain filtered sections of an input sequence.
The block accepts vector or matrix inputs, and treats each column of the input as an individual channel. The block unbuffers the input data into row vectors such that the length of the output vector is equal to the number of channels in the input. The data output rate of the block is M times faster than its data input rate, where M is the length of the columns in the input (frame-size).
The block breaks the scalar input sequence u
, of length
nu
, into length-L
nonoverlapping data sections,
which it linearly convolves with the filter's FIR coefficients,
The numerator coefficients for H(z) are specified as a
vector by the FIR coefficients parameter. The
coefficient vector, b = [b(1) b(2) ... b(n+1)]
, can be
generated by one of the filter design functions in the Signal Processing Toolbox™ product, such as fir1
. All filter states
are internally initialized to zero.
When either the filter coefficients or the inputs to the block are complex,
the Output parameter should be set to
Complex
. Otherwise, the default
Output setting,
Real
, instructs the block to take only the real
part of the solution.
The block's overlap-add operation is equivalent to
y = ifft(fft(u(i:i+L-1),nfft) .* fft(b,nfft))
where you specify nfft
in the FFT size
parameter as a power-of-two value greater (typically
much greater) than n+1
.
Values for FFT size that are not powers of two are
rounded upwards to the nearest power-of-two value to obtain
nfft
.
The block overlaps successive output sections by n
points
and sums them.
The first L
samples of each summation are output in
sequence. The block chooses the parameter L
based on the
filter order and the FFT size.
L = nfft - n
Latency
In single-tasking operation, the Overlap-Add FFT
Filter block has a latency of nfft-n+1
samples.
The first nfft-n+1
consecutive outputs from the
block are zero; the first filtered input value appears at the output
as sample nfft-n+2
.
In multitasking operation, the Overlap-Add FFT
Filter block has a latency of 2*(nfft-n)+1
samples. The first 2*(nfft-n)+1
consecutive
outputs from the block are zero; the first filtered input value
appears at the output as sample
2*(nfft-n)+3
.

Parameters
- FFT size
The size of the FFT, which should be a power-of-two value greater than the length of the specified FIR filter.
- FIR coefficients
The filter numerator coefficients.
- Output
The complexity of the output;
Real
orComplex
. When the input signal or the filter coefficients are complex, this should be set toComplex
.
