How to interpret results of FFT/DFT?

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
I generate a stepped sinusoidal signal of 5 kHz each 2 µs from 100 data samples on the 32-bit MCU (ATSAMD21). How to properly interpret the results of the FFT/DFT calculated from an Excel CSV file acquired on the oscilloscope? I am mainly interested to find out the 5 kHz peak in the frequency characteristic. Do I need to somehow normalize the data before processing?

The time vector needs to be scaled correctly if the frequency vector is to be correct.
Try this —
T1 = readtable('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1275525/CSV_5k.csv')
T1 = 1200×2 table
Var1 Var2 ____ _____ 0 0.284 1 0.292 2 0.288 3 0.276 4 0.28 5 0.276 6 0.276 7 0.268 8 0.272 9 0.264 10 0.276 11 0.26 12 0.264 13 0.256 14 0.264 15 0.256
t = T1{:,1}*0.5E-6; % Added: 't' in 0.5 µs Steps
s = T1{:,2};
figure
plot(t, s)
grid
xlabel('Time (units)')
ylabel('Amplitude (units)')
Ts = mean(diff(t));
Fs = 1/Ts;
Fn = Fs/2;
L = size(T1,1);
NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
FTs = fft((s-mean(s)).*hann(L),NFFT)/L;
Fv = linspace(0, 1, NFFT/2+1)*Fn;
Iv = 1:numel(Fv);
[smax,idx] = max(abs(FTs(Iv))*2);
Frq = Fv(idx)
Frq = 4.8828e+03
figure
plot(Fv, abs(FTs(Iv))*2)
grid
xlabel('Frequency')
ylabel('Magnitude')
xline(Frq, '-r', sprintf('Frequency = %.4fx10^3 Hz',Frq*1E-3))
xlim([0 1E+4]) % Zoom To See Detail

Scaled ‘t’ to be appropriate by multiplying it by so that the sampling interval ‘Ts’ is .

But how to scale the time vector to get frequency vector correctly? It looks like that time step for 1 200 data points is 500 µs.
Picture is my DFT calculation in C++ VS2022:
C++ code:
// https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/discrete-fourier-transform-and-its-inverse-using-c/
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
const int len = 1200;
// Function to calculate the DFT
void calculateDFT()
{
int xn[len] = { 840, 920, 880, 760, 800, 760, 760, 680, 720, 640, 760, 600, 640, 560, 640, 560, 520, 640, 600, 480, 520, 480, 560, 440, 480, 440, 440, 480, 400, 480, 440, 360, 440, 360, 360, 440, 400,

By my calculations, if that sine wave is supposed to be 4.82 kHz, then the sampling frequency must be
Fs = 1928000 Hz
and the sampling period
Ts = 1/1928000 % sec
Ts = 5.1867e-07
which isn't close to 2 micro-sec.

All that information would have been helpful from the start.
If the data is sampled at 0.5 microsec (not 2 microsec as implied in the Question) then we have
T1 = readtable('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1275525/CSV_5k.csv');
x = T1.Var2 - mean(T1.Var2);
Ts = 0.5e-6;
f = (0:(numel(x)-1))/numel(x)/Ts; % Hz
X = fft(x);
plot(f,abs(X))
xlim([0 10000])
xline(4.82e3)
