I should preface this by saying that I seriously believe that no one
should be permitted to use an FFT without first passing a licensing exam.
Assuming you know that an FFT is what you want, there are many packages
avalable; I might add rLab to the list. If you want serious analysis, I
would suggest MatLab. There are toolboxes available for wavelet
transforms, system identification, digital filtering, and more. Of course,
MatLab is somewhat of a lifestyle, but once you grasp it, it gives you
considerable power, and is available for multiple platforms.
