| 1. A device, comprising:
a first FFT unit that performs a first fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a set of inputs to produce intermediate values;
center element logic that multiplies the intermediate values by pre-rotation coefficients to produce pre-rotated intermediate
values, wherein the pre-rotated intermediate values are organized into first groups, and reorganizes the pre-rotated intermediate
values into new groups, each new group containing one of the intermediate values from each of the first groups; and
a second FFT unit that performs a second fast Fourier transform on the reorganized pre-rotated intermediate values to produce
a set of outputs.
