What is frequency resolution of DFT?
For the DFT, the resolution is equal to fs/N, from Equation 4.8. So, for a given sampling frequency, the more samples (N) in the signal, the smaller the frequency increment between successive DFT data points. The more points sampled, the higher the spectral resolution.
What are the limitations of FFT?
A disadvantage associated with the FFT is the restricted range of waveform data that can be transformed and the need to apply a window weighting function (to be defined) to the waveform to compensate for spectral leakage (also to be defined). An alternative to the FFT is the discrete Fourier transform (DFT).
How do you find the frequency resolution in DFT?
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.
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.
