Preface

Spectral analysis

A previous module titled Fun with Java, How and Why Spectral Analysis Works explained some of the fundamentals regarding spectral analysis.

The module titled Spectrum Analysis using Java, Sampling Frequency, Folding Frequency, and the FFT Algorithm presented and explained several Java programs for doing spectral analysis, including both DFT programs and FFT programs. That module illustratedthe fundamental aspects of spectral analysis that center around the sampling frequency and the Nyquist folding frequency.

The module titled Spectrum Analysis using Java, Frequency Resolution versus Data Length used similar Java programs to explain spectral frequency resolution.

In this module, I will deal with issues involving the complex spectrum, the phase angle, and shifts in the time domain.

In this module, I will present and explain a program named Dsp034 . This program will be used to illustrate the behavior of the complex spectrum andthe phase angle for several different scenarios.

In addition, I will use the following programs that I explained in the module titled Spectrum Analysis using Java, Sampling Frequency, Folding Frequency, and the FFT Algorithm .
