The dft is usually considered as one of the two most powerful tools in digital signal processing the other one being digital filtering, and though we arrived at this topic introducing the problem of spectrum estimation, the dft has several other applications in dsp. A real array is of course identical to a complex array in which all of the complex coefficients are zero.
