MKL FFT returns bins with 0 value.

344 Views

I'm running an FFT with mkl ComputeForward and sometimes, some of the bins are 0 + 0i.

Specifically, If I do a single, in place DFT of 20480 samples of a single 16K tone sampled at

1.024 MSps, all the bins have values except just one, which is zero. Curiously, the surrounding

bins seem ok.

-3.53691855e-14 2.86772993e-13

What can be causing this? I don't think it is a resolution problem because the failing bin should

fit in a float, I checked it doing the FFT with Octave.
