- Sliding FFT's are useful for finding the varying frequency content
- of a signal as a function of time. If the frequency content changes
- slowly it is sufficient to slide several samples between FFT evaluations.
- This is a hopping FFT. A decade ago I use a hopping FFT as part of a
- speech spectrograph system. The familiar 3D pictures of speech signal's
- frequency content which look like mountain ranges are a typical application.
- The longer the hop the less calculation needed, but time resolution is
- reduced.
