FFT of a Zero-Padded Sinusoid

FFT of a Zero-Padded Sinusoid: "Looking back at Fig.8.2c, we see there are no negative dB values. Could this be right? Could the spectral magnitude at all frequencies be 1 or greater? The answer is no. To better see the true spectrum, let's use zero padding in the time domain (§7.2.7) to give ideal interpolation (§7.4.12) in the frequency domain:
