Thanks Ed, ADC sampling rate = 64MHz it gives resulution time = 1/64MHz = 156 ns if we choose N=512 for FFT then total observation time for one scan(one complete FFT) is = 156ns x 512 = 8 micro sec if the maximum possible (expected) cycle time is 200ms then: it needs 200ms/8microsec = 2500 continues FFT scans to cover the range of frequencies that correspond to 200ms cycle time.
Is above calculation correct? The other possibility to increase the observation time is to increase the FFT size, but to cover entire 200ms would need 200ms/1/64MHz = 12800000 = FFT size (Which is not possible! Is it ???) Now please comment if my above calculations are correct or not and secondaly if my calculations are correct then how can I process (using GNURadio) 2500 cosective FFT's (with surety that no FFT in between these 2500 FFT's is missing due to slow processing or thread switching) to find two peaks in a single array (availability of two peaks will give me the oppertunity to calculate the time distance between them).
