    Abstract: A Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) processing is disclosed that measures FFT output phase standard deviation over a number of consecutive FFT runs. The system corrects FFT output phase in an organized fashion for all potential signal filter offset positions while measuring changes in phase standard deviation, and selects the filter offset where the minimum standard deviation occurs. The system utilizes pseudo coherent integration to enhance traditional integration, where the pseudo coherent integration locates the mean phase shift within the number of FFTs integrated, and corrects all FFT runs by this mean shift value. The integration multiplies the magnitude of each FFT filter output by the cosine and sums all FFTs in the integration period for the respective filter.
