Hello,

I am doing Fourier transform of a very regular and smooth sinus-like function. As a result I expect a very smooth Fourier transform with easily detectable frequency maxima. But am getting an output which is calculated with large "time steps" on the X axis. How to decrease these steps?

Thanks!

Hi vlnew,

Frequency resolution in FFT was determined by:
df=1/(N*dt)

To decrease df, you can increase number of input data N or sampling interval dt.

If your input data can't be changed, you can also try Origin's Zoom FFT app.

This app requires Origin2022 temporarily.

Thanks.
