perform a filtering fft on noisy data in matlab

To perform filtering FFT on noisy data, you can use the following steps:

1. Load the noisy data into Matlab
2. Perform FFT on the data using fft function
3. Generate a filter using fftshift and ifftshift functions to specify the frequency range to be filtered
4. Apply the filter to the FFT data using .* operator
5. Perform an inverse FFT using ifft function to obtain the filtered data in the time domain

Here's the code implementation of the steps:

main.m
% Load noisy data
data = load('noisy_data.mat');

% Perform FFT
N = length(data);
Y = fft(data);

% Generate filter
f = (-N/2:N/2-1)*(1/N); % Frequency range
Fc = 100; % Cutoff frequency
Wn = (2*pi*Fc)/N; % Normalized frequency
filter = ifftshift(exp(-j*Wn*abs(f))); % Filter in frequency domain

% Apply filter to FFT data
Y_filtered = Y .* filter;

% Perform inverse FFT
y_filtered = ifft(Y_filtered);

% Plot the original and filtered signal
figure;
subplot(2,1,1);
plot(data);
title('Original Noisy Signal');
subplot(2,1,2);
plot(abs(y_filtered));
title('Filtered Signal');

This will produce a plot of the original noisy data and the filtered data. You can adjust the filter parameters (cutoff frequency, filter type, etc.) as needed to achieve the desired noise removal effect.
