Hi ,
I was trying to make FFT for 3 signals and plot the relation between the Amplitude and the frequency , but actullay I'm not sure about the frequency vector that I write it in the code , is it right ? also how can I determine the range for f ? also always when I run the code , show this msg ( Warning: Imaginary parts of complex X and/or Y arguments ignored )
ps : the number of data in each column is 33034 and the time from 0 - 330.33 ( step .01 )

Your code above doesn't reflect any such change so can't judge...in particular the issue regarding which points are part of the frequency spectrum to return and the scaling as shown in the example and discussed at another recent Q? I responded to <Answers/514367-fft-using-excel-data> talks about and show the particular point in the example that isn't included in your code above. As noted in this Q?, if the DC component is small (the signal is zero-mean), then it won't make much difference, but it still isn't precisely correct.
Your code above
time=a(:,1);
...
dt = .01;
...
reads a time vector as the first column but then sets a sample rate externally to 0.01. There's no way to know without the data if those two are commensurate with each other; ergo there's no way to know if you have the right frequency vector or not.
What is the difference between a(2,1)-a(1,1)? Does that match dt? Is your plotted maximum frequency the expected value?
BTW, it would be simpler to code if you would use the original array a and subscript it for the various columns instead of creating independent named variables for each that require duplicating the same code over and over...

You can use my little tool easyFFT. It calculates & returns the frequency vector along with the FFT.
