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.
Does zero padding increase frequency resolution?
In summary, the use of zero-padding corresponds to the time-limited assumption for the data frame, and more zero-padding yields denser interpolation of the frequency samples around the unit circle. Sometimes people will say that zero-padding in the time domain yields higher spectral resolution in the frequency domain.
Does zero padding reduce spectral leakage?
Zero-padding a signal does not reveal more information about the spectrum, but it only interpolates between the frequency bins that would occur when no zero-padding is applied. In particular, zero-padding does not increase the spectral resolution.
