Hi, you must design a filter kernel, that remove the noise frequence. We can't know your data, your sampling and your noise frequencies and so we are not able to construct an appropriate filter. You can force the data set to be periodic to get the same number of output points but this introduce some high frequencys in your data. Your filter should be normalized.
