Abstract: Apparatus and methods for deriving in essentially real time unweighted and weighted continuous electrical representations of the Fourier transform and/or the inverse Fourier transform of a complex waveform. In performing the Fourier transform, the input waveform is sampled at the Nyquist sampling rate and the samples stored in respective sample-and-hold circuits. These samples are applied to signal generating circuitry for deriving harmonically related time-varying cosine and sine signals having peak values corresponding to weighted or unweighted values of respective ones of the sample-and-hold circuit outputs, and having a fundamental frequency which may be chosen independently of the frequency content of the input waveform. These cosine and sine signals are then respectively summed for producing resultant summed sine and cosine signals which respectively correspond to weighted or unweighted representations of the real and imaginary components of the Fourier transform of the input waveform with the frequency variable being simulated by time. In one embodiment, these summed sine and cosine signals are applied to a function generator for generating signals representative of the weighted or unweighted amplitude spectrum and/or phase spectrum of the input waveform for further application to appropriately calibrated and adjusted oscilloscopes for producing visual displays thereof. In another embodiment, these resultant summed sine and cosine signals are in turn sampled at the Nyquist sampling rate to provide samples which may conveniently be modified in accordance with desired criteria. The modified samples are then recombined using the inverse Fourier transform technique of the invention which employs circuitry basically similar to that used for the Fourier transform to produce an output signal representative of the original input signal and containing the modifications produced in accordance with the desired criteria.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating running Walsh series expansion coefficients and for utilizing these coefficients to perform Walsh function filtering. An input signal is sampled, and the N most recent sampled values are commutatively stored. The stored sampled values are operated upon by a suitable means to generate N Walsh coefficients of the sampled input. Each of the generated Walsh coefficients is multiplied (-1)n. The outputs from the multipliers are the N running Walsh coefficients for the received input. The weighted sum of the outputs from the multipliers may also be formed. By controlling the weighting values, digital filtering may be performed.
