Multiframe FFT using single larger FFT

Hello,
I have an algorithm that slices wav file into blocks (frames) of size 64 and does 64 point FFT on them. Recently I was give a hardware acceleration library with supported FFT sized of 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192.
My question is: could we take a multiple blocks say 8 blocks and do 512 point FFT on them and then split them somehow into 8 x FFT(64) form?
All signals are sampled with the same frequency. The reason I need to use 64-bin representation is that I have another DSP nodes requiring such format.
Looking forward on suggestions.
Thanks
Kris

Kris,
yes you can do that!
suppose you have two 64 point transforms you want to do but only have a 128 point FFT.
imagine doing this: take the first time sequence of length 64 and put it into the 128 point input array by repeating the same sequence [h1(n) h1(n)]. if you FFT this repeated sequence the transfrom you get will be 128 points but every other sample will be zero... zero packing a sequence causes its transfrom to repeat. What you can do is put the second sequence in the same input array in a way that places its transform in the zero valued transform points of the same 128 point fft. You do this by repeating the second array with a sign change. [h2(n) -h2(n)]... if we add these two repeated sequences
[h1+h2 h1-h2] the 128 point transform will have interleaved the 64 point transfoms of the original two input sequeces.. The pre processing is the equivalent of a butterfly operation of the two input sequences, a two point transform of the same sequences.
We can accomplish the same thing with 4 shorter sequences, doing 1-to-4 repeats of the 4 shorter sequences using a 4-point butterfly structure (called a dragonfly)... or a 4-point FFT with the twiddle factors being successive powers of j. the resulting transform will contain 4-interleaved shorter transforms.. I used a similar trick in the attached paper.

Awesome! Wish I had grasped that earlier!

It is a pretty neat trick that i developed for the same reason you have.

Wow, thanks for such a detailed reply. I will try to implement this fancy trick and then get back with some update. Thanks again!
