Why should I zero-pad a signal before taking the discrete Fourier transform?
In an answer to a previous question, it was stated that one should
zero-pad the input signals (add zeros to the end so that at least half of the wave is "blank")
What's the reason for this?...

Determining minimum window length for DTFT [duplicate]
Let $x(t) = \cos(2\pi\times15t)+\cos(2\pi\times22t)+\cos(2\pi\times35t)+\cos(2\pi\times42t)$ and $\forall t\in\mathbb{R} :w(t) = 1$. We sample $x(t)$ and $w(t)$ with $F_s = 92 \ \text{Hz}$. So we ...

What is Frequency Resolution?
Im trying to tackle the following problem while still not having a firm idea on what "frequency resolution" means :
Suppose we sample a continuous time signal with sampling period Ts = 1/2000, and ...

Link between DFS, DFT, DTFT
My understanding of DFT is as follows
For a signal $x[n]$ of finite-length, the DFT is DFS of the periodic extension, $\tilde{x}[n]$, of that signal $x[n]$ and also another way to view DFT is that it’...

How to derive the bin width / maximum frequency of DFT/STFT
The bin width is given by the $F_s / N$ and the maximum frequency is given by $F_s / 2$ where $F_s$ is the sample rate and $N$ is the number of samples of the DFT.
Going between these is trivial, but ...

For 2D signals can it be said that the frequency response is the same as the Fourier transform?
Say I have a signal: [1, 1 , 1; 1 100 1; 1 1 1];,
I wanted its frequency response, then can I take its FFT?
Why does MATLAB have two functions to do the same ...

FFT of any sinusoidal signal -- how many point fft to take?
suppose I have to measure the DFT of an 60 hz sinusoidal signal and calculate upto 20 harmonics of this. Value of the 20th harmonic will be 20*60 = 1200 HZ. Then my sampling frequency should be >= 20*...

Understanding LPC for Formant Estimation
I went through the Matlab tutorial on Formant Estimation using LPC Coefficients. Though I vaguely understand the details, it's not entirely clear why we need to do this. From http://person2.sol.lu.se/...

Does downsampling increase the resolution of frequencies?
I am currently working in MATLAB and had to downsample a .WAV file (I used the downsample function in MATLAB) to 44.1 kHz.
However, when I compared the two spectrograms of the original signal vs the ...

Getting the DTFT from the DFT samples
How would you get the DTFT from the DFT samples?
How will the DFT indexes map to the discrete frequency and what kind of an interpolation would be required?

Effect of changing sample rate, window duration and zero padding on DTFT and DFT
Let $T$ be the window duration, $N$ be the DFT size, $F_s$ be the sample rate, and $F_{max}$ be the frequency of the highest bin. In the context of image below:
halving the $F_s$ (keeping $T$ ...
