the padding you may have in mind is the actual interpolation of zeros blocks after each symbol.
A=[1 2 3]
B=[A zeros(1,3)]
length of the padding
N=4
then
B=zeros(1,N*length(A))
=
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B([1:N:end])
=
0 0 0
B([1:N:end])=A
=
1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 3 0 0 0
In the example, appeneded DTFT code
it is clearly mentioned, the fft(x,2000) one-off zero padding in frequency domain helps reach the correct fft amplitude plot
Without FFT frequency zero padding
Fs = 1e3;
t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = cos(2*pi*100*t)+sin(2*pi*202.5*t);
xdft = fft(x);
xdft = xdft(1:length(x)/2+1);
xdft = xdft/length(x);
xdft(2:end-1) = 2*xdft(2:end-1);
freq = 0:Fs/length(x):Fs/2;
figure(1);plot(freq,abs(xdft))
hold on;
figure(1);plot(freq,ones(length(x)/2+1,1),'LineWidth',2)
xlabel('Hz');ylabel('Amplitude');hold off;
with FFT frequency zero padding
xdft = fft(x,2000);
xdft = xdft(1:length(xdft)/2+1);
xdft = xdft/length(x);
xdft(2:end-1) = 2*xdft(2:end-1);
freq = 0:Fs/(2*length(x)):Fs/2;
figure(2);plot(freq,abs(xdft));
hold on;
figure(2);plot(freq,ones(2*length(x)/2+1,1),'LineWidth',2)
xlabel('Hz'); ylabel('Amplitude');
hold off;
