% POWER SPECTRUM ANALYSIS WITH MATLAB FFT

% A common use of Fourier transforms is to find the frequency components of a


signal buried in a
% noisy time domain signal. Consider data sampled at 1000 Hz. Form a signal
containing 50 Hz and 120 Hz:
t = 0:0.001:0.6;
x = sin(2*pi*50*t)+sin(2*pi*120*t);

% Corrupt the signal with it some zero-mean random noise:


y = x + 2*randn(size(t));

help randn

% Plot the final signal in time domain:


figure(3),plot(y(1:600))

% It is difficult to identify the frequency components from looking at the original


signal.
% Converting to the frequency domain, the discrete Fourier transform of the noisy
signal y
% is found by taking the 512-point fast Fourier transform (FFT):
Y = fft(y,512);

% The power spectral density, a measurement of the energy at various frequencies,


is:
Pyy = abs(Y).^2 / 512;

% The first 256 points (the other 256 points are symmetric) can be graphed on a
% frequency axis where we input length of the physical time interval 0.001s:
f = 1000*(0:255)/512;

% POWER SPECTRUM ANALYSIS WITH MATLAB FFT on EXTERNAL FILE

% our nonlinear chain of 100 atoms) into a matrix nonlinear_xy.dat

t=signal_xy(:,1);

% Copy second column of this matrix into the fpu_signal vector


fpu_signal=signal_xy(:,2);
