MATLAB! Question!

Hi,

http://www.geocities.com/spoutveg10/matlab.JPG

Does anyone know what the "fuzzy" bit at the tops of the spectrum are? I went for a complete guess out of distortion or noise. Any elaboration as to why?

I connected up a Binouli random data source with a sample time of 1, and added a repeat block (x5) to obtain this signal.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE! I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT!

Wait... you performed some operation on random data, and you're wondering why there is any randomness in the result?

I don't know what to say, except you can't expect randomness not to be random.
