Overlap Add Method and Overlap Save Method

Overlap Add Method and Overlap Save Method

This experiment focussed on filtering of a long input data sequence. Overlap Add and Overlap Save methods are block processing techniques. These methods are used to decrease the delay in obtaining the output for real time signals.
These methods decompose the input signal into smaller blocks of finite length. Overlap Add method performs Linear Convolution on the blocks of data using FFT. The overlapped values are added to obtain the output signal. Overlap Save Method performs Circular Convolution on the blocks of data using FFT. The overlapped values are not taken.
