A Fast Fourier Transform with Rectangular Output on the BCC and FCC Lattices

Abstract

This paper discusses the efficient, non-redundant evaluation of a Discrete Fourier Transform on the three dimensional Body-Centered and Face-Centered Cubic lattices. The key idea is to use an axis aligned window to truncate and periodize the sampled function which leads to separable transforms. We exploit the geometry of these lattices and show that by choosing a suitable non-redundant rectangular region in the frequency domain, the transforms can be efficiently evaluated using the Fast Fourier Transform.
