Single-Sided Amplitude Spectrum Plot

6 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I have a question regarding the fourier spectrum of a signal. Below I've posted code in which I generated a sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 5 kHz. Then I plotted the single-sided amplitude spectrum as recommended in the MathWorks documentation. The plot however does not show a peak of height 1 at 5 kHz, but a slightly lower one plus more frequencies in the vicinity. What happened there? Since my sampling rate is 20 kHz I dont suppose to violate the Nyquist theorem. Thanks for any hints!
if true
delta = 50E-6;
fs = 1/delta;
time = 0:delta:1;
f = 5E3;
signal = sin(2*pi*f*time);
figure;
plot(time,signal);
x = signal;
y = fft(x);
L = length(x);
P2 = abs(y/L);
P1 = P2(1:L/2+1);
P1(2:end-1) = 2*P1(2:end-1);
freq = fs*(0:(L/2))/L;
figure;
%loglog(freq,P1);
%semilogy(freq,P1);
plot(freq,P1);
end

‘The plot however does not show a peak of height 1 at 5 kHz, but a slightly lower one plus more frequencies in the vicinity. What happened there?’
In ‘sampling’ your signal, you are actually ‘heterodying’ it with (modulating it with) the sampling frequency. Like all amplitude-modulation processes, this creates sidebands, so you end up with a transmitted-carrier double-sideband signal. The discrete Fourier transform is by definition a nonlinear process as well, so the result displays the fundamental frequency and sidebands, with the energy distributed amongst them.
