AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the correctness of the FFT phase plot for an audio file, questioning why the phase does not conform to the expected range of -π to π. Users note that the unwrap() function in MATLAB fails to limit the phase within this range, resulting in values from -2500 to +8500 radians. The conversation highlights confusion about the significance of phase in relation to amplitude and the source of the signal. Ultimately, one participant decided to submit only the amplitude component due to the phase plot's discrepancies. The analysis of phase in audio file processing remains a complex topic, with participants seeking clarity on its relevance.

Homework Statement



I would like get an advice whatever the plot of phase (in radians) of the FFT computation of audio file is correct.

Is it not supposed to show a decrease as the frequency increases ?

Phase relative to what? And why does it go from -2500 to +8500 and not from -pi to pi?
Where does the signal come from, why do you expect some specific phase?
 
Phase relative to what?
Relative to amplitude at specified frequencies

And why does it go from -2500 to +8500 and not from -pi to pi?
The command used unwrap() was supposed to make a range of -pi to +pi, however in MatLab it just doesn't work thus I assume it means -2500 rad to +8500 rad.

Where does the signal come from, why do you expect some specific phase?
The signal comes from the FFT of file audio.wav, I had no idea what I was expecting for "phase" the amplitude however makes clear sense.
 
Relative to amplitude at specified frequencies
I don't think this makes sense.

however in MatLab it just doesn't work thus I assume it means -2500 rad to +8500 rad.
Well, where is the difference between a phase of x and x+2n*pi?

I had no idea what I was expecting for "phase"
Me neither, so why do you care about the phase?
 
It was part of the question for analysis of an audio file. I end up submitting only amplitude component, the graph waveform however was correct, the range wasn't.
