Homework Statement
I am suppose to write a program that compares the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform Diagrams) of a sampled signal without the use of a window function and with it. The window function should be as long as the signal and the signal should have N points, N chosen as to not cause leakage of the specter of the signal.
**The window function should be such that it's components diminish from 0 to it's end.
Homework Equations
3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
I am having troubles applying the window functions because i get some weird output signal from a pretty simple line of code so I'm sure I'm not getting how this is suppose to work in MATLAB. Let's say I am trying to use the triangle window function because I am not sure what is meant by the ** condition in the assignment. Maybe that the triangle function should be symmetric on the y axis?
Matlab:
f1 = 1000;
f2 = 1270;
fs = 15000;
F1 = 100/1500; %minimum N so i wouldn't have signal leaks on the frequency diagrams.
F2 = 127/1500;
N = 1500;
n = 0:N-1;
x = 8*cos(2*pi*F1*n)+5*cos(2*pi*F2*n);
% i have found that the triangle window function is called with triang(L)
window = triang(N); %length should be N as the signal is of length N
xwindowed=x.*window;
figure
stem(n, x);
pause
figure
stem(n, xwindowed);
pause
and the windowed like this:
which makes no sense and is not how this is suppose to work. What don't i understand here?
