and here is the code I have used for the fft
fs=67890;
T = 1/fs; % Sampling period
L = 1000; % Length of signal
t = (0:L-1)*T; % Time vector
y = fft(x);
P2 = abs(y/L);
P1 = P2(1:L/2+1);
P1(2:end-1) = 2*P1(2:end-1);
f = fs*(0:(L/2))/L;
subplot(2,1,1), plot(t,x),title('original data'),ylabel('x'),xlabel('t')
subplot(2,1,2), plot(f,P1),title('fft'),ylabel('magnitude'),xlabel('frequency')
This gives me this image
Hope it's clear

To get rid of the 0Hz component, you can subtract the mean from your data, maybe that helps.
How does the result you are getting not work? Differently put: you ask how to perform fft, why is the answer 'with the function fft' incorrect?

The 0-frequency component is simply a measure of the average of your data and suggests it is not very 0-centred. If you have perfectly 0-centred data then the 0-frequency component will also be 0.
You haven't shown any example of what you have done though or what your data looks like so there's not much else to say since you have clearly looked at the fft documentation already and followed an example there.

I have edited the question hope now it's more clear.

So just do what Rik Wisselink suggests to zero-centre your data or simply remove the 0-frequency component from the final result and plot it without if you just want to look at the frequency spectrum.

Yes indeed that worked. Thank you very much. I would have accepted the answer if I knew how to do it.

To remove the 0Hz-component from the analysis, use y=fft(x-mean(x));

  • amp1 = abs(fft(x1)); %Retain Magnitude
  • % amp11 = amp1(1:Nsamps1/2); %Discard Half of Points
  • % f11 = Fs*(0:Nsamps1/2-1)/Nsamps1; %Prepare freq data for plot
  • f11 = 0:(fs1/Nsamps1):1000; %Prepare freq data for plot
  • amp11 = amp1(1:length(f11)); % keep data till 1kHz
  • plot(f11,amp11);
