SM 5 BSZ - First FFT timing for a medium system using Pentium Pro at 200MHz
(jan 15 2001)
Sampling rate = 44.1kHz.
No of A/D channels = 2.
No of RF channels = 2.
Useful bandwidth 2*20 kHz.

Typical operation for first fft is SIZE=2048 in case second fft is enabled. The timings below indicate Pentium Pro at 200MHz will be fast enough for that. Without second fft Pentium Pro should run with 8192 or 16384 for the first fft for this configuration.
