how to include hamming window in fft in matlab

To include a Hamming window in the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a signal in MATLAB, you can apply the Hamming window to your signal before performing the FFT. Here is a simple example:

main.m
% Generate a sample signal
fs = 1000; % Sampling frequency
t = 0:1/fs:1; % Time vector
f1 = 50; % Signal frequency
signal = sin(2*pi*f1*t) + 0.5*randn(size(t)); % Signal with noise

% Apply Hamming window
window = hamming(length(signal));
signal_windowed = signal .* window';

% Perform FFT
N = length(signal); % Length of the signal
Y = fft(signal_windowed, N);
frequencies = 0:fs/N:fs*(N-1)/N;

% Plot the FFT magnitude
plot(frequencies, abs(Y));
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
ylabel('Magnitude');

In the code snippet above, a Hamming window is generated and applied to the signal. The FFT is then performed on the windowed signal. Finally, the magnitude of the FFT output is plotted to visualize the frequency components of the signal after applying the Hamming window.

Make sure to replace the example signal generation part with your actual signal data.

Remember to adjust the window size and other parameters based on your specific requirements.
