What is a bin frequency?

frequency bins are intervals between samples in frequency domain. For example, if your sample rate is 100 Hz and your FFT size is 100, then you have 100 points between [0 100) Hz. Therefore, you divide the entire 100 Hz range into 100 intervals, like 0-1 Hz, 1-2 Hz, and so on.

What are the bins of a DFT?

The DFT output frequency bins correspond to the frequencies Fk=kFsN. With the more common frequency axis of half positive, half negative frequencies, the frequency bins for a DFT are given by f=np. arange(-Fs/2, Fs/2, Fs/N) . In this case, an fftshift of the DFT output is required before plotting the result.

What is DFT frequency?

The DFT is therefore said to be a frequency domain representation of the original input sequence. If the original sequence spans all the non-zero values of a function, its DTFT is continuous (and periodic), and the DFT provides discrete samples of one cycle.

How do I get DFT frequencies?

calculate the magnitude of each DFT output bin: magnitude = sqrt(re*re+im*im) find the bin with the largest magnitude, call its index i_max . calculate the equivalent frequency of this bin: freq = i_max * Fs / N , here Fs = sample rate (Hz) and N = no of points in FFT.
