Zero-Padding seems to CHANGE FFT of signal!

I am having trouble with zero-padding. As I understand it, in theory, zero-padding in the time-domain should 'sinc-interpolate' the FFT of the signal in the frequency domain. This would mean, that ...

How exactly does MATLAB zeropad?

I am doing some massive number crunching in MATLAB which involves millions of PSD estimations. Each data segment has length 41. So I have been using the multi-taper method with nfft=41 (details below ...

FFT Zero Padding - Amplitude Change

I'm just learning about Fourier Transforms and as an input I'm using a WAV file (Matlab) and taking one channel of it and performing a quick Fourier transform. I've zero padded the input, as I've been ...

change FFT bins position

I'm sampling a signal at 44100kHz, and I have 1024 samples on which I perform an FFT. My bin resolution is therefore around 43 hz/bin, so the frequencies I get energy for are multiples of 43hz: ...

Estimating The Time-delay using the Phase of the Cross- Correlation function

I am relatively new to time delay estimation. I am working on a project where I am estimating the time-delay from the phase of the cross-correlation function (CCF), since it is more reliable in ...

Sense of zeropadding in a time domain

I have the task related to Radon transform which contains a subtask which uses resampling by means of DFT. Let's consider the non-periodical discretized signal (Fig.1) (for example the string of ...

Padding Images To Solve Inverse Filtering Problem?

Let's say that the point spread function, h, is known for a blurred image B. If we want to apply an inverse filtering method (eg. Direct Inverse Filtering for noiseless images, Wiener Filter, ...

How to remove the boundary effects arising due to zero padding in scipy/numpy fft?

I have made a python code to smoothen a given signal using the Weierstrass transform, which is basically the convolution of a normalised gaussian with a signal. The code is as follows: ...

Frequency-domain zero padding - special treatment of X[N/2]

Suppose we wish to interpolate a periodic signal with an even number of samples (e.g. N=8) by zero-padding in the frequency domain. Let the DFT X=[A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H] ...
