how to find phase angle for the FFT data of a transient signal ?

3 views (last 30 days)
currently i am using PSD to calculate my fft
[y(:,1),f] = pwelch(z1(:,1),hann(fsize),round(fsize/2),fsize,fs);% calculate PSD
yfft(:,1)=sqrt(1.5*y(:,1));% calculate fft

Why not just use fft? PSD contains only the power information so the phase information is lost.

What is your expected result and what is the result you get from FFT? Like I mentioned, you cannot expect to get phase from PSD since there is no phase information in it.

You may need to apply a window on the data to reduce the effects of nonzero starting and ending points of the data set.
