 * \brief Fast FFT filter with gr_complex input, gr_complex output and float taps
 * \ingroup filter_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This block implements a complex decimating filter using the
 * fast convolution method via an FFT. The decimation factor is an
 * integer that is greater than or equal to 1.
 *
 * The filter takes a set of complex (or real) taps to use in the
 * filtering operation. These taps can be defined as anything that
 * satisfies the user's filtering needs. For standard filters such
 * as lowpass, highpass, bandpass, etc., the filter.firdes and
 * filter.optfir classes provide convenient generating methods.
 *
 * This filter is implemented by using the FFTW package to perform
 * the required FFTs. An optional argument, nthreads, may be
 * passed to the constructor (or set using the set_nthreads member
 * function) to split the FFT among N number of threads. This can
 * improve performance on very large FFTs (that is, if the number
 * of taps used is very large) if you have enough threads/cores to
 * support it.
