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 in FFT?
``Zero-padding'' means adding additional zeros to a sample of data (after the data has been windowed, if applicable). For example, you may have 1023 data points, but you might want to run a 1024 point FFT or even a 2048 point FFT.
Why should I zero pad a signal before taking the Fourier transform?
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 for zero padding in DFT?
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.
