Hi
i just wanted to check out something regarding the fft function in matlab?
Does the spectra produced by the fft function give amplitudes or power?

Neither. It is a straight implementation of the definition of the DFT. Depending on how you choose to scale the result, you can compute one of a variety of different forms of the spectrum. It is in general proportional to the amplitude spectrum and not the power spectrum.
What are you trying to compute using fft?

Maybe you'd rather use pwelch() in the Signal Processing Toolbox.

Hey everyone,
Well I am playing aound with fourier synthesis and using my spectrum as a guide. I understand that I need to sum cosine and sine waves to get back to my time signal. I think if I understand correctly that the coefficients of the sine waves are governed by the imaginary values of the FFT and cosine are governed by the real parts. I wanted to check that FFT gave amplitudes so I could use it as an accuaret guide because at the moment I am not recreating the signal I would expect

Unfortunately this does not give the shape I would expect

Can you also post the code you have where you computed the complex values using the FFT?
