What is the fundamental frequency in signals?

A signal with a period T repeats at a rate of f₀ = 1/T, which is referred to as the fundamental frequency of the signal.

How do you find the fundamental frequency of a spectrogram?

Another way to find the fundamental frequency is to go to the “Pitch” menu above and select “Show Pitch.” A blue line will appear on your spectrogram. Click on one of the blue dots located near the midpoint of your vowel. The fundamental frequency will be displayed in Hertz on the right side of the spectrogram.

How do you choose a sampling frequency in FFT?

The frequency resolution is equal to the sampling frequency divided by FFT size. For example, an FFT of size 256 of a signal sampled at 8000Hz will have a frequency resolution of 31.25Hz. If the signal is a sine wave of 110 Hz, the ideal FFT would show a sharp peak at 110Hz.

What is FFT spectrum analysis?

The FFT spectrum analyzer samples the input signal, computes the magnitude of its sine and cosine components, and displays the spectrum of these measured frequency components. Why Look at a Signal's Spectrum? For one thing, some measurements which are very hard in the time domain are very easy in the frequency domain.
