The top hat is centred on zero frequency. The default behaviour of Fourier is for the zero freqency bin to be the first element of the list, so when you plot this out the top hat is split between the left and right hand ends of the graph. -- Steve Luttrell West Malvern, UK "Kieng" <Sorasak at brown.edu> wrote in message news:bofrs7$5gt$1 at smc.vnet.net... > I am sorry my question is apparently not so clear. > I generated a list of data from a sinc function.
