Hello,
My magnitude spectra of an unfiltered and filter ERP is showing multiple (and possibly unnecessary) plots on the left and right side of their stem plots, like so:
How can I make these plot look "cleaner" attached is a text file with data related to these plots.
ync = [.25 .5 .25]; %yn coefficients
ync1 = [-.085 .342 .485 .342 -.085]; %yn1 coefficients
ync2 = [-21/231 14/231 39/231 54/231 59/231 54/231 39/231 14/231 -21/231] %yn2 coefficients
Fs1 = 500; %Sampling Frequency
Ts1 = 1/Fs1; %Sampling Time
t1 = 0:1/Fs1:1-1/Fs1;
erp = load("data.txt");
erpMean = mean(erp, 2);
%Setting up for stem() [Unfiltered]
N = length(erpMean);
X = fft(erpMean);
X=1/N*abs(X);
X=[X(1) 2*X(2:end)']; %Converting column to row
f=0:Fs1/N:Fs1-Fs1/N;
%Setting up for stem() [Filtered]
z = filter(ync2,1,erpMean);
N1 = length(z);
X1 = fft(z);
X1 = 1/N1*abs(X1);
X1 = [X1(1) 2*X1(2:end)'] %Converting column to row
f1 = 0:Fs1/N1:Fs1-Fs1/N1;
figure(13)
plot(t1,erpMean);
title("Unfiltered ERP");
ylabel("Amplitude (mV)")
xlabel("Time(s)");
figure(14)
plot(t1,z);
title("Filtered ERP with Least-Square Polynomial Impulse")
ylabel("Amplitude (mV)");
xlabel("Time(s)");
%Magnitude Spectra
figure(15)
stem(f,X,'LineWidth',2);
grid on;
title("Unfiltered");
xlabel("Frequency (Hz)")
figure(16)
stem(f1,X1,'LineWidth',2);
grid on
title("Filtered")
xlabel("Frequency (Hz)")

These are two-sided fft plots.
I’m not certain what ‘cleaner’ is in this context, however using the fftshift function, then creating the correct frequency vector as:
f2 = linspace(-Fs1/2, Fs1/2, N);
and:
Xs = fftshift(X);
X1s = fftshift(X1);
stem(f2, Xs, '.')
stem(f2, X1s, '.')
could improve the appearance of the plots.
