ams.Fs is in Hz.
                       The default is to use form 1 with TW=3 and K=5

            pad            (padding factor for the FFT) - optional (can take values -1,0,1,2...). 
                    -1 corresponds to no padding, 0 corresponds to padding
                    to the next highest power of 2 etc.
                       e.g. For N = 500, if PAD = -1, we do not pad; if PAD = 0, we pad the FFT
                       to 512 points, if pad=1, we pad to 1024 points etc.
