Overalp ADD and Overlap SAVE.

Whenever we come across larger sequences that are required to be processed, say a large valued sequence is given to a digital FIR filter, Overlap add method or Overlap save method is used, where faster processing of the signals is needed.
This can be either done by overlapping values after decomposing the input, adding zeros to make it equivalent to L (where L=N-M+1) and linear convolution of these decomposed inputs with h(n) ie OAM
or by decomposing the input, adding preceding values to each of the decomposed input to make it equivalent to L, circular convolution with h(n) and then eliminating padded number of values from each convoluted output to obtain the final output. ie OSM.
OAM and OSM are block processing techniques as seen above and computationally occupy similar memory space.

    1. OSM does not require the addition of the overlapping transients and hence is more efficient.

  2. OAM OSM are used to find op of digital fir filter

    1. Yes as IIR filters will have infinite impulse signal present we cannot use OSM and OAM for IIR filters

    1. Yes both use block processing techniques

  4. Both OAM and OSM requires the same amount of computations.

  5. If they require same computations which is better?

    1. OSM is preferred as it is a faster way of computation

  6. OAM and OSM methods are used wherever the whole input signal has not been given but computations of the already stored signals are to be done.

    1. Yes mainly for real valued sequences and long data
