DFT zero-padding of signals starting before n=0
$begingroup$
If a signal starts before n=0, what part of the signal should be used to compute DFT after zero-padding? For example, x(n) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, where x(-2) = 1 and x(0) = 3. If this signal is zero-padded to N=8, the new signal would be x'(n) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 0, 0}, where, again, x'(-2) = 1 and x'(0)=3. However, to compute the DFT of this zero-padded signal x'(0), should I use {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 0 , 0}, which starts with x'(-2), or should I use {3, 4, 5, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2}, which starts with x'(0) with the first few terms (n<0) folded over? In terms of the DFT X(k), I think its magnitude would be the same for the two approaches, but its phase would be different, right?

but remember, since the DFT is circular, you can zero pad it on either end (or both ends) and the only difference in the DFT result will be a linear phase term corresponding to a rotation or circular-shift.

Use the second one Tony... It yields the correct implied phase relationship.
