use of radix-2 ffts

[Bob]

Hello again,

Can a radix-4 fft be used to construct any type of radix-2 fft. e.g.
can I manipulate a 64 pt radix-4 fft to give me a 128 pt radix-2 fft ?
If so, is the radix-2 fft of any use in dsp as it usually results in
larger and slower ffts than the radix-4 version.


As always thanks for all replies.

Yes. You can factorize 128 as 64*2 and use a radix-4 FFT to do two 64
point FFTs followed by a two-point FFT ( butterfly ). You can follow
it with a 3-point FFT to get 192.
