Hi again, is there a good reason why the output is dependant upon the sampling rate. in the example if you increase from say 64 to 128 samples the output increases by a factor of 2.   Christian Meesters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Jeff,On 3 Aug 2005, at 02:03, Jeff Peery wrote:> hope this is more

Hi Christian,   sorry for the lack of detail. how about I use a sine wave because I know what the output should look like - amplitude of one at frequency equal to the frequency of the sine wave.   one period of a sin wave that cycles at one hertz: period = 1 input = sin(arange(0,64)*3.14159*2/64.

ok, this makes more sense. what I want to know is the amplitude for the output frequencies. I'm using import FFT, and FFT.fft(). the first element of the output is the DC constant? not sure what this is. is the amplitude for all other elements plus the DC equal to the actual amplitude?   thanks.Paw
