Please do send separate copies of the same post to multiple
newsgroups.
Use one copy and a comma separated send list.

Hope this helps.

You need to review basic interpolation via the Fourier transform.
That's the root cause of your misunderstanding.

Thanx for the reply ......Foe example
actual data =[1 0 0 0]
x = [0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0] %note the zeros at both ends of signal
x=ifft(x) 
x=fft(x) 
plot(abs(x)) 
hold on; 


y = [1 0 0 0] 
y=ifft(y) 
y=fft(y,8) 
plot(abs(y),'r') 



why the result is not same

In the first case i have interpolated 2 zeros on either side of the signal

and in the second case i am using the matlab comand to interpolate zeros
.Can you please tell me which one is wrong

One is correct and the other is incorrect.

I cannot understand this last statement, can you say it in a
different way, please?

hi 
i want to ask whether there is any difference between taking n-point ifft
and then fft for OFDM Vs taking ifft and then n-point fft in matlab.


the difference i get is the signal with n-point ifft and then fft has a
spectrum which do not have good resolution can anyone help me in this
regard.
