%"Wings" induced due to "windowed" observations %your telescope is located on a satellite which is rotating at frequency fs %you are oberving a periodic (sine wave) source with frequeny f0 %you can observe the source for half of the rotation period of the %satellite clear n=8192; f0=1000; %frequency of the source fs=20; %frequence of the satellite (rotation) t=0:n-1; h=sin(2*pi*f0*t/n); H=fft(h); P=H.*conj(H); Pn=P/(n/2)^2; figure(1) plot(t,Pn) xlim([0 n/2]) figure(2) w=0.5*(sign(sin(2*pi*fs*t/n))+1); plot(t,w) figure(3) hs=h.*w; H=fft(hs); P=H.*conj(H); Pn=P/(n/2)^2; plot(t,Pn) xlim([0,n/2]) figure(4) plot(t,Pn) xlim([f0-100 f0+100]) %the extra features are beat frequencies
