DSPP Experiment 4 : Overlap Add and Overlap Save Methods

OAM method involves decomposing the input signal and performing linear convolution on each of them individually. The decomposed outputs are then concatenated together. The value of N chosen is generally a power of 2.
Overlap Add Method
OSM method involves decomposing of input. But in this method, we divide the output signals and find the resultant as opposed to dividing the input signals in OAM and perform zero padding to modify the input signal x[n] and zero padding to h[n]. 


OAM and OSM are Block Processing Techniques and are suitable for real time signal processing.

    1. As mentioned in the blog, OAM divides the input into smaller chunks whereas OSM divides the output into small length for computations.

  3. OSM and OAM can only be used for FIR Filters

  4. Computationally both the methods are equally useful and selection depends on the application

  5. these methods are used to find output of long input sequence data.

    1. Yes, they are generally used in FIR filters.

    2. These methods cannot be used in IIR filters though

  6. Both these methods are used in FIR filters and not IIR filters

  7. FFT algorithm is used in practical systems. But for long input signals(1024 samples) OAM and OSM methods should be used.

  12. The figure gives a good idea of the process.
