How does zero padding increase frequency resolution?
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.
What is the effect of zero padding in frequency domain?
In this case, we can say “zero padding in the frequency domain results in an increased sampling rate in the time domain”.
What does zero padding do to 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.
What affects frequency resolution?
The frequency resolution is dependent on the relationship between the FFT length and the sampling rate of the input signal.
