The digital spectrometer is an important part of TALIS\u2019 back end, which mainly realizes the function of spectral analysis. The radix 16 real-time complex fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm used in the digital spectrometer was obtained by improving and combining the parallel processing and complex processing of the FFT algorithm. In this study, the digital spectrometer parameter selection is systematically presented, and the effect of the digital spectrometer FFT algorithm on the TALIS system sensitivity is analyzed based on the TALIS system simulation model we established in the previous stage of this research. The results show that the actual full-band sensitivity obtained after using the FFT algorithm is consistent with the ideal full-band sensitivity of TALIS for different integration time, spectral resolutions, and quantization bits. However, the results of the comparison of the actual sub-band sensitivity after using the FFT algorithm with the ideal sub-band sensitivity show that the deterioration of the sub-band sensitivity will be caused by the FFT algorithm. The mean value of the deterioration ratio was found to be approximately 18%, and the maximum value of the deterioration ratio was approximately 33%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13152921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,25]],"date-time":"2021-07-25T22:07:00Z","timestamp":1627250820000},"page":"2921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect Analysis of the Digital Spectrometer FFT Algorithm on THz Atmospheric Limb Sounder (TALIS) System Sensitivity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0455-5674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haowen","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9872-6368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6098-844X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenzhan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0758-1138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenming","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8260-7003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"747","article-title":"Scheme design of the K band spectrum analysis microwave radiometer","volume":"11","author":"Zhang","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
