What is phase in frequency analysis?

The magnitude tells you the strength of the frequency components relative to other components. The phase tells you how all the frequency components align in time . Plot the magnitude and the phase components of the frequency spectrum of the signal. The magnitude is conveniently plotted in a logarithmic scale (dB).

What is FFT phase?

The output of the FFT is a complex vector containing information about the frequency content of the signal. The magnitude tells you the strength of the frequency components relative to other components. The phase tells you how all the frequency components align in time .

Does FFT have a phase?

FFT result bins within a rounding error of zero often have random phases . Whereas the angle of a non-zero length vector actually points somewhere. Note that a cosine and a sine of the same frequency are orthogonal. A ratio of the two (cosine and sine) is required to represent any sinusoid of that same frequency.11 May 2017

What is FFT phase spectrum?

The FFT function computes the complex DFT and the hence the results in a sequence of complex numbers of form . The amplitude spectrum is obtained. For obtaining a double-sided plot, the ordered frequency axis (result of fftshift) is computed based on the sampling frequency and the amplitude spectrum is plotted.
