Does zero padding affect FFT?

Zero padding allows one to use a longer FFT, which will produce a longer FFT result vector. A longer FFT result has more frequency bins that are more closely spaced in frequency.

What is the use of zero padding in FFT?

In addition to making the total number of samples a power of two so that faster computation is made possible by using the fast Fourier transform (FFT), zero padding can lead to an interpolated FFT result, which can produce a higher display resolution.

How does zero padding increase frequency resolution?

In summary, the use of zero-padding corresponds to the time-limited assumption for the data frame, and more zero-padding yields denser interpolation of the frequency samples around the unit circle. Sometimes people will say that zero-padding in the time domain yields higher spectral resolution in the frequency domain.

What is zero padding in DFT?

Zero padding consists of extending a signal (or spectrum) with zeros. It maps a length signal to a length signal, but need not divide . Definition: (7.4)
