MATLAB: Acceleration vs Time; Magnitude vs Frequency

acceleraion vs timemagnitude vs frequency

Hello, I need to plot two graphs (Acceleration vs Time and Magnitude vs Frequency) and present both of it. Here is the code that I have done (a-acceleration (Length of signal N=2048), vt=time vector (1.2048s), Fs=32768Hz)

signal = a; time=vt;

% Plot Original signal in Time Domain
 plot(vt,a);
  title('Original signal in Time Domain');
  xlabel('Time [s]');
  ylabel('Acceleration [m/s^2]');
% Plot FFT signal
N = pow2(nextpow2(length(signal)));
y = fft(signal,N);
plot(1:N,abs(y));
title('FFT');
  xlabel('Frequency [Hertz]');
  ylabel('Magnitude');

Could you help me with that? Thank you in advance!

Best Answer

Try this:

% Plot FFT signal
N = pow2(nextpow2(length(signal)));
y = fft(signal,N)/length(signal);
Fn = Fs/2;
Fv = linspace(0, 1, fix(length(y)/2)+1)*Fn;
Iv = 1:length(Fv);
plot(Fv,abs(y(Iv))*2);
title('FFT');
xlabel('Frequency [Hertz]');
ylabel('Magnitude');

NOTE — I have not tested this. It should work.

MATLAB: Is the FFT having many but same peaks

The data file you provided is 349 x 4007. You indicate that this is a collection of 4007 signals, so each individual signal is 349 x 1 and each column is a different signal. However, you are using length() of the entire array, and length() returns the largest dimension, so length() is 4007 rather than 349.

You are doing the fft of all of the data at the same time, getting a 349 x 4007 array.

You then index that array with a single index, Iv. That invokes linear indexing, so even though Iv is larger than 349, it just goes ahead and pulls data from multiple columns.
