SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in MATLAB for analyzing data with equal time stamps. The user seeks clarification on interpreting FFT results, specifically the significance of peaks in the FFT graph, such as the peak at frequency 1. Additionally, the conversation highlights the necessity of replacing f0 with 1/2(f0 + fn) in Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) calculations to enhance accuracy in frequency representation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) principles
  • Familiarity with MATLAB for data analysis

I got some data which is in equal time stamps. When I do the Fast Fourier Transform for the data using MATLAB I get the graph below. Now I understand how to do the fast Fourier transform but I have no idea what information the FFT graph gives.


I am confused as to what the peak at 1 represents and what else I can gather from the FFT?

I would be so grateful if you could help me with
numerical Fourier of bessel function using FFT (with c if possible )or just the idea
also why we should replaced f0 by 1/2(f0 +fn) before calculatin DFT
