How can spectral leakage be reduced?

We have seen that spectral leakage is reduced by tapering the digital signal by a window function before the DFT takes place. A generalization of this technique is the short-time discrete Fourier transform (STDFT).

How do you prevent spectral leakage in FFT?

By increasing the side lobe roll-off rate, you can reduce spectral leakage. Selecting a window function is not a simple task. Each window function has its own characteristics and suitability for different applications. To choose a window function, you must estimate the frequency content of the signal.

What is spectral leakage in DFT?

Spectral leakage occurs when a non-integer number of periods of a signal is sent to the DFT. Spectral leakage lets a single-tone signal be spread among several frequencies after the DFT operation. This makes it hard to find the actual frequency of the signal.

What is leakage in spectral analysis?

Leakage, more explicitly called spectral leakage, is a smearing of power across a frequency spectrum that occurs when the signal being measured is not periodic in the sample interval.
