Apparatus for and methods of operation of digital filters and certain other electronic digital signal processing devices are provided to improve the accuracy and efficiency of filtering. Particularly, the apparatus and method includes a digital filter with a long impulse response and lower latency, built by operating a numbr of small component filters (F1, F2, F3) in parallel and combining their outputs by addition, with each component filter operating wi th a different delay such that the net operation of the ensemble of said component filters is the same as a single filter with a longer impulse response, and the latency of the ensemble is equal to the shortest latency of the component filters. At least one group o f the component filters is implemented using a Discrete Fourier Transform technique. A Fourier transform processor adapted to efficiently transform strings of real data is also described.
