hello
m a newbie on delsig..can anyone tell
(1) why formula chosen is y = 4*sin(2*pi*tone_bin/Nfft*t);for sine wave
(2) why is t chosen as t = [0:Nfft-1] why not t = [0:Nfft];
thanks all
 

Because 0:nfft will be 1 greater than desired. zero is, in fact, a number. If you count from zero to one, that's two numbers, not 1.

yes...got the answer...and what about the formulae for sine wave

I have no idea. You start out asking about FFTs, and then you post a single equation which has nothing to do, as far as I can tell, with computing an fft.

You have obviously posted one line from a more complex calculation. I'm afraid I've left my mind-reading hat at home.
 

ya i would have posted the complete program..actually i was talking about delsig toolbox in which all sine wave assume the same formulae...one of the example is (which quantizes the sine wave using delsig toolbox)

nLev = 8;          % Number of quantizer levels
M = nLev-1      % Number of steps
Nfft = 2^13;    % Record length 
tone_bin = 31;  % prime wrt Nfft 
t = [0:Nfft-1];
y = 4*sin(2*pi*tone_bin/Nfft*t);
v = ds_quantize(y, nLev);
numOfSamples = 400; 
n=1:numOfSamples;
plot(t(n), y(n), 'b');

i guess since we want the frequency to be around a certain bin say 31 in above case hence we select tone bin as the frequency to be selected over the entire nfft length...pl correct if i am wrong
