# 8.2: Basic Cooley-Tukey FFT


The Cooley-Tukey FFT always uses the Type 2 index map from Multidimensional Index Mapping. This is necessary for the most popular forms that have $$N=R^M$$, but is also used even when the factors are relatively prime and a Type 1 map could be used. The time and frequency maps from Multidimensional Index Mapping are

$n=((K_1n_1+K_2n_2))_N \nonumber$

$k=((K_3k_1+K_4k_2))_N \nonumber$

Type-2 conditions in the 2.2: The Index Map become

$K_1=aN_2\; \; or\; \; K_2=bN_1\; \; but\; not\; both \nonumber$

and

$K_3=cN_2\; \; or\; \; K_4=dN_1\; \; but\; not\; both \nonumber$

The row and column calculations in 2.2: The Index Map are uncoupled by Type-two index map which for this case are

$((K_1K_4))_N=0\; \; or\; \; ((K_2K_3))_N=0\; \; but\; not\; both \nonumber$
