fft matlab, scaling amplitude problem
Show older comments
Hi I've faced a problem in my homework coding. please help me to solve it.
I wrote a code for a problem, which i have its results. but after taking fft function from input, the amplitude of output is twice more than expected result.
what are the reasons that might be caused this?
I really appreciate it.

You should always show your code:
fs = 1000;
t = 0:1/fs:1-1/fs;
L = length(x);
xdft = fft(x)/L;
plot(abs(xdft))
Exactly as I expect two peaks with amplitude 0.5
Or
xdft = 2*fft(x)/L;
xdft = xdft(1:length(x)/2+1);
plot(abs(xdft))

Again, you're not showing your code (not sure why). If you are using the fft() for amplitude estimation, you want to divide by the length of the input signal.

That means that, before calculating the fft, you've made some errors, which we can't find, because you have not posted the code.

Does 10++ mean 12 lines? If it is a reasonable number, please post it all. Did you look at the code I posted below?
