Thanks Wescott,  however I have a specific requirement to normalize
fft: " normalize the FFT output such that a sinusoid with amplitude 1
will correspond to an FFT magnitude of unity". I think for this
specific requirement we will have unique way to do that, right? So in
your opinion, in this case, how should I do to normalize FFT output?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
