MATLAB: Is the fundamental frequency at the 15th harmonic order

fast fourier transformfftfourier analysisfourier transformharmonicsthd

Dear Matlab Community.
I am trying to implement a code to show harmonic content and order in Matlab. my fundamental is supposed to be at harmonic order 1, however the ouput plot I am getting is wrong and I am having difficulies proceeding.
I would really apreciate any help. Thanks
[D,S,R] = xlsread('test data.xls');
v = D(:,2);
Signal = D(:,2);
Ts = 0.00005; % Sampling Interval (seconds)
Fs = 1/Ts; % Sampling Frequency (Hz)
Fn = Fs/2;
%PERFOM FFT
N = length(Signal);
meanSignal = mean(Signal); % ‘Signal’ Mean
FTSignal = fft(Signal-meanSignal)/N;
Fv = linspace(0, 1, fix(numel(FTSignal)/2)+1)*Fn; % Frequency Vector
Iv = 1:numel(Fv); % Index Vector
%Plotting Harmonics (THD)
har_mag = abs(FTSignal(Iv))*2;
figure;
bar(har_mag(1:20),0.4)
xlabel('Harmonic Order','fontsize',10);
ylabel('Voltage (V)','fontsize',10)
hold off

I am not certain what you are doing, or what result you want.
One problem is that you also need to specify the x-values of the bars in your bar call:
bar(Fv(1:20), har_mag(1:20),0.4)
If you want to find all the relevant peaks and their frequencies, add these lines after your existing (posted) code:
[pks,locs] = findpeaks(har_mag, 'MinPeakProminence',0.5);
FreqPeaks = table(Fv(locs)', pks, 20*log10(pks), 'VariableNames',{'Freq', 'Amp', 'dB'})
figure
plot(Fv, 20*log10(har_mag))
hold on
plot(Fv(locs), 20*log10(har_mag(locs)), '+r')
hold off
grid
axis([0 1200 -15 60])
The ‘FreqPeaks’ table has all the identified peaks (linear and dB) and their associated frequencies.
