calculating energy from FFT in different frequency bins

15 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I've generated FFTs for a set of signals in time domain at different deflections. I want to find in which frequency range the signal is more sensitive. Can someone help me do the following since I'm new to programming and signal processing??
Here's my problem:
  • So I want to select a frequency range in which all the dominant peaks are coming .
( In this case, by looking at the figure, the frequency range to be considered would be somewhere between 35000Hz-125000Hz (Is there a way to automatically find this ?) Also I don't know where to fix the threshold.)
  • Divide it into a number of bins (not more than 10) in such a way that each peak should fall completely within one of these bins. (bins need not be of equal length and should be same for all signals)
  • Then, calculate the energy for each bin in each signal.
  • Then plot curves for each bin showing the variation of energy in each bin with respect to deflection. (ie. deflection on x-axis and area under curve on y axis.)
Following is the code I'm using for getting FFT (also attached the set of time domain signals and deflection data):
[m, n]= size(amp); % amp- amplitude data
t=linspace(0,5000,n); % time
Fs=2000000;
for i=1:m
L = n;
NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
UT = fft(amp(i,:),NFFT)/L;
f = Fs/2*linspace(0,1,NFFT/2);
ft(i,:) = zeros(1,NFFT/2);
ft(i,:) = UT(1:NFFT/2);
mag(i,:) = 2*abs(ft(i,:));
end;
figure
for i=1:m
plot(f,mag(i,:))
hold on;
end;

I suggest you have a look at the findpeaks function and the named values NPeaks, MinPeakHeight, Threshold, and MinPeakDistance.
