Sorry it was to help understand some results from a lab i did.  But I have
already since figured it out on my own!  Thanks :)

Please don't keep us in suspense; explain a little. Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

yes, this was a last resort to help me understand results of a lab, after
trying to figure this out over the period of a week with no avail.  i have
since figured out what was happening!  thanks.

question. Hmmmmmm.....

The usual technical verbal shorthand (jargon) hides a lot of details. Zero padding of a time sequence before taking its Fourier transform is fairly straightforward to describe and understand. BUT what is zero padding of a sequence of Fourier coefficients? When done slowly and in full detail the Fourier transformed operation of zero padding transforms into an interpolation operation which takes a moderately complicated explanation. Perhaps you need more that about 1/3 of a jargon filled sentence to say what you intended and what you did.

What I meant to ask about crosscorrelation:

Suppose I have 2 signals r[n] and y[n] each of length N, and zero pad them
to double their lengths and compute Y[k]R[k]* using FFTs in matlab.  And
then I zero pad that product with 8N zeros BEFORE taking the 10N-IFFT to
get the crosscorrelation.  

It seems my correlation results are worse, but I cant understand exactly
why.

any help is appreciated!
