Frequency Spectrum with c++ I have written a script to plot the frequency spectrum of a sinusoidal signal with c++. Here are the steps
1-Applying Hanning window
2-Apply FFT using fftw3 library
I have three graphs: Signal, Signal when is multiplied to Hanning function, and the frequency spectrum. The frequency spectrum looks wrong. It should have a pick at 50 Hz.Any suggestion would be appreciated. Here is the code:

#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;time.h&gt;
#include &lt;fftw3.h&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;cmath&gt;
#include &lt;fstream&gt;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i;
double y;
int N=50;
double Fs=1000;//sampling frequency
double  T=1/Fs;//sample time 
double f=50;//frequency
double *in;
fftw_complex *out;
double t[N];//time vector 
double ff[N];
fftw_plan plan_forward;

in = (double*) fftw_malloc(sizeof(double) * N);
out = (fftw_complex*) fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex) * N);

 for (int i=0; i&lt; N;i++)
 {
    t[i]=i*T;
    ff[i]=1/t[i];
    in[i] =0.7 *sin(2*M_PI*f*t[i]);// generate sine waveform
    double multiplier = 0.5 * (1 - cos(2*M_PI*i/(N-1)));//Hanning Window
    in[i] = multiplier * in[i];
  }

  plan_forward = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_1d ( N, in, out, FFTW_ESTIMATE );

  fftw_execute ( plan_forward );

  double v[N];

  for (int i = 0; i &lt; N; i++)
    {

    v[i]=20*log(sqrt(out[i][0]*out[i][0]+ out[i][1]*out[i][1])/N/2);//Here I have calculated the y axis of the spectrum in dB

    }

   fstream myfile;

   myfile.open("example2.txt",fstream::out);

   myfile &lt;&lt; "plot '-' using 1:2" &lt;&lt; std::endl;

   for(i = 0; i &lt; N; ++i)

    { 

      myfile &lt;&lt; ff[i]&lt;&lt; " " &lt;&lt; v[i]&lt;&lt; std::endl;

    }

 myfile.close();

 fftw_destroy_plan ( plan_forward );
 fftw_free ( in );
 fftw_free ( out );
 return 0;
  }


I have to add that I have plotted the graphs using gnuplot after inserting the results into example2.txt. So ff[i] vs v[i] should give me the frequency spectrum.

Here are the plots:   Frequency Spectrum and Sinusoidal time Window respectively:


Edit: After applying the changes to frequency sampling, this is the graph I got:
Edit: The first graph is the plot for frequency spectrum vs time
You seem to be doing something odd with your frequency axis. This:

t[i]=i*T;
ff[i]=1/t[i];


should probably read:

t[i]=i*T;
ff[i]=Fs*i/N;


The frequency axis you have now is nonlinear. The FFT generally generates linearly spaced frequency samples.
