How does zero padding affect DFT?
You can interpolate the DFT by zero padding. Zero padding enables you to obtain more accurate amplitude estimates of resolvable signal components. On the other hand, zero padding does not improve the spectral (frequency) resolution of the DFT. The resolution is determined by the number of samples and the sample rate.
How do you increase DFT resolution?
Better DFT Frequency Resolution by Increasing Signal Length
The DFT frequency resolution is dependent on the length of the signal. The complex sinusoid (8) is increased in length from 4 samples to 8 samples and plotted in Figure 7 along with the magnitude of the frequency response from the 8-point DFT.
Does zero padding increase frequency resolution?
The addition of zeros to the end of the time-domain waveform does not improve the underlying frequency resolution associated with the time-domain signal. The only way to improve the frequency resolution of the time-domain signal is to increase the acquisition time and acquire longer time records.
How 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.
