May the power be with you!

A project log for Goertzel Algorithm

For when you don't need a big Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) or are just to lazy to do FFT.

Power Calculations

I have decided to drop power calculations because they cause all sorts of problems.

Just let power=amplitude*amplitude; if you really want to use it.

In the end a power calculation needs a load impedance to actually make any sense anyway.

Continuous Mode

What would be really nice is a form of Goertzel's algorithm that is continuous like the exponential smoothing function. Because of the windowing I don't think it is possible?
