Another factor which impacts our ability to resolve frequencies in frequency domain is the length of the window. Because an L point DFT samples the DTFT at L points, taking a larger window will resolve the DTFT better. If we don’t want to increase the window length (because doing so would increase the latency of our system), we can zero pad after windowing because zero padding has no impact on the DFT besides sampling the DTFT at more finely spaced samples.
