Based on our previous work, this work presents a complete method for time-domain processing of frequency-domain data with evenly-spaced frequency indices, together with its application. The proposed method can be used to calculate the cross spectral and power spectral densities for the frequency indices of interest. A promising application for the time-domain processing of frequency-domain data, particularly for calculating the summation of frequency-domain cross- and auto-correlations in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, is studied. The advantages of the time-domain processing of frequency-domain data are 1) the ability to rapidly acquire the properties that are readily available in the frequency domain and 2) the reduced complexity. The proposed fast algorithm directly employs time-domain samples, and hence, does not need the fast Fourier transform (FFT) operation. The proposed algorithm has a lower complexity (required complex multiplications ∼ O(N)) than conventional techniques.
