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 causes spectral leakage in FFT?

Spectral leakage due to FFT is caused by: mismatch between desired tone and chosen frequency resolution, time limiting an observation. Understand the concept using hands-on examples.

How do you reduce spectral leakage?

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).

What causes spectral leakage?

Spectral leakage results from an assumption in the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithms that the time record exactly repeats throughout all time. Thus, signals in a time record are periodic at intervals that correspond to the length of the time record.
