The radix-two Fast Fourier transform recursively splits the input into even and odd subsequences until length one, then assembles the transforms using the FFT butterfly identities. For , the recursive leaf order is the bit-reversed order . The three assembly stages have block sizes two, four and eight. In a block of size , butterfly number maps to .
