Suppose I have the signal x that contains N samples, and I take the FFT of this signal and rearrange the frequency components to have the 0 frequency componenet to the center
X = fftshift(fft(x));
and then calculate the PSD of the signal as
psd = (1/(fs*N))*abs(X).^2;
where fs is the sampling frequency, what is the exact frequency axis that corresponds to psd in this case? If I defined it as
freq = -fs/2:fs/N:fs/2;
it would be 1 element greater than the size of psd, but if I define it as
freq = -fs/2+fs/N:fs/N:fs/2;
it will be of the same size as psd.
Is the second definition accurate? If yes, why the negative frequencies don't extend to -fs/2 as it's the case for the positive frequencies?
