signal processing - How does number of points change a FFT in MATLAB -


when taking fft(signal, nfft) of signal, how nfft change outcome , why? can have fixed value nfft, 2^18, or need go 2^nextpow2(2*length(signal)-1)?

i computing power spectral density(psd) of 2 signals taking fft of autocorrelation, , want compare the results. since signals of different lengths, worried if don't fix nfft, make comparison hard!

there no inherent reason use power-of-two (it might make processing more efficient in circumstances).

however, make ffts of 2 different signals "commensurate", indeed need zero-pad 1 or other (or both) signals same lengths before taking ffts.


however, feel obliged say: if need ask this, you're not @ point on dsp learning curve you're going able useful results. should decent book on dsp theory, e.g. this.
