Hi,

I don’t know if this is numpy related, but I know a little bit about fft
in general, and it looks like you did not normalize the result.

The documentation does not specify that the resulting array is
normalized, so you should do :

s = sin(wt)
f = abs(fft(s) / len(s))

I guess your wt has a length of 1000 ?

Regards,

Martin
