FFT and Power spectrum
Show older comments
Hello, I am a beginner in MATLAB. I want find FFT and power spectrum of a data series stored in excel. It consists of a single column of data with 1000 rows. How do I proceed? I tried it with following code.
1) xlsread("Book1.xlsx");
%book1 has single column of data with 1000 rows. This is returning a 1000×1 sized array as expected with name 'ans'
2) X=fft(ans);
%this is returning a 1000×1 sized array with complex numbers.
3) plot(abs(X));
%this is plotting a graph with x axis running from 0 to 1000 and y axis from 0 to 180

Unless the corresponding sampling times or the sampling frequency (the sampling intervals must be constant) are also available, the results will be meaningless because without them it is impossible to correctly calculate the frequencies.
