"The use of the FFT for frequency analysis implies two important relationships.
The first relationship links the highest frequency that can be analyzed to the sampling frequency and is given by the following equation.
| Fmax = fs/2 | (A) |
where Fmax is the highest frequency that can be analyzed and fs is the sampling frequency.
The second relationship links the frequency resolution to the total acquisition time, which is related to the sampling frequency and the block size of the FFT and is given by the following equation.
| Δf = 1/T = fs/N | (B) |
where Δf is the frequency resolution, T is the acquisition time, fs is the sampling frequency, and N is the block size of the FFT."
