67-435: In signal processing , the power spectrum S x x ( f ) {\displaystyle S_{xx}(f)} of a continuous time signal x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} describes the distribution of power into frequency components f {\displaystyle f} composing that signal. According to Fourier analysis , any physical signal can be decomposed into

134-541: A density function multiplied by an infinitesimally small frequency interval, describing the energy contained in the signal at frequency f {\displaystyle f} in the frequency interval f + d f {\displaystyle f+df} . Therefore, the energy spectral density of x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} is defined as: The function S ¯ x x ( f ) {\displaystyle {\bar {S}}_{xx}(f)} and

201-434: A one-sided function of only positive frequencies or a two-sided function of both positive and negative frequencies but with only half the amplitude. Noise PSDs are generally one-sided in engineering and two-sided in physics. Energy spectral density describes how the energy of a signal or a time series is distributed with frequency. Here, the term energy is used in the generalized sense of signal processing; that is,

268-454: A transmission line of impedance Z {\displaystyle Z} , and suppose the line is terminated with a matched resistor (so that all of the pulse energy is delivered to the resistor and none is reflected back). By Ohm's law , the power delivered to the resistor at time t {\displaystyle t} is equal to V ( t ) 2 / Z {\displaystyle V(t)^{2}/Z} , so

335-402: A more accurate estimate of the theoretical PSD of the physical process underlying the individual measurements. This computed PSD is sometimes called a periodogram . This periodogram converges to the true PSD as the number of estimates as well as the averaging time interval T {\displaystyle T} approach infinity. If two signals both possess power spectral densities, then

402-413: A number of discrete frequencies, or a spectrum of frequencies over a continuous range. The statistical average of any sort of signal (including noise ) as analyzed in terms of its frequency content, is called its spectrum . When the energy of the signal is concentrated around a finite time interval, especially if its total energy is finite, one may compute the energy spectral density . More commonly used

469-410: A particular frequency. However this article concentrates on situations in which the time series is known (at least in a statistical sense) or directly measured (such as by a microphone sampled by a computer). The power spectrum is important in statistical signal processing and in the statistical study of stochastic processes , as well as in many other branches of physics and engineering . Typically

536-603: A periodic signal which is not simply sinusoidal. Or a continuous spectrum may show narrow frequency intervals which are strongly enhanced corresponding to resonances, or frequency intervals containing almost zero power as would be produced by a notch filter . The concept and use of the power spectrum of a signal is fundamental in electrical engineering , especially in electronic communication systems , including radio communications , radars , and related systems, plus passive remote sensing technology. Electronic instruments called spectrum analyzers are used to observe and measure

670-451: A single estimate of the PSD can be obtained through a finite number of samplings. As before, the actual PSD is achieved when N {\displaystyle N} (and thus T {\displaystyle T} ) approaches infinity and the expected value is formally applied. In a real-world application, one would typically average a finite-measurement PSD over many trials to obtain

737-419: A single such time series, the estimated power spectrum will be very "noisy"; however this can be alleviated if it is possible to evaluate the expected value (in the above equation) using a large (or infinite) number of short-term spectra corresponding to statistical ensembles of realizations of x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} evaluated over the specified time window. Just as with

804-463: A spectrum from time series such as these involves the Fourier transform , and generalizations based on Fourier analysis. In many cases the time domain is not specifically employed in practice, such as when a dispersive prism is used to obtain a spectrum of light in a spectrograph , or when a sound is perceived through its effect on the auditory receptors of the inner ear, each of which is sensitive to

871-480: A time-varying spectral density. In this case the time interval T {\displaystyle T} is finite rather than approaching infinity. This results in decreased spectral coverage and resolution since frequencies of less than 1 / T {\displaystyle 1/T} are not sampled, and results at frequencies which are not an integer multiple of 1 / T {\displaystyle 1/T} are not independent.

Statistical signal processing is an approach which treats signals as stochastic processes , utilizing their statistical properties to perform signal processing tasks. Statistical techniques are widely used in signal processing applications. For example, one can model

1139-490: Is commonly expressed in SI units of watts per hertz (abbreviated as W/Hz). When a signal is defined in terms only of a voltage , for instance, there is no unique power associated with the stated amplitude. In this case "power" is simply reckoned in terms of the square of the signal, as this would always be proportional to the actual power delivered by that signal into a given impedance . So one might use units of V Hz for

Analog discrete-time signal processing is a technology based on electronic devices such as sample and hold circuits, analog time-division multiplexers , analog delay lines and analog feedback shift registers . This technology was a predecessor of digital signal processing (see below), and

1340-489: Is for signals that vary with the change of continuous domain (without considering some individual interrupted points). The methods of signal processing include time domain , frequency domain , and complex frequency domain . This technology mainly discusses the modeling of a linear time-invariant continuous system, integral of the system's zero-state response, setting up system function and the continuous time filtering of deterministic signals Discrete-time signal processing

The concept of discrete-time signal processing also refers to a theoretical discipline that establishes a mathematical basis for digital signal processing, without taking quantization error into consideration. Digital signal processing is the processing of digitized discrete-time sampled signals.

1742-563: Is the periodogram . The spectral density is usually estimated using Fourier transform methods (such as the Welch method ), but other techniques such as the maximum entropy method can also be used. Any signal that can be represented as a variable that varies in time has a corresponding frequency spectrum. This includes familiar entities such as visible light (perceived as color ), musical notes (perceived as pitch ), radio/TV (specified by their frequency, or sometimes wavelength ) and even

1809-478: Is the power spectral density (PSD, or simply power spectrum ), which applies to signals existing over all time, or over a time period large enough (especially in relation to the duration of a measurement) that it could as well have been over an infinite time interval. The PSD then refers to the spectral energy distribution that would be found per unit time, since the total energy of such a signal over all time would generally be infinite. Summation or integration of

1876-544: Is the value of the Fourier transform of x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} at frequency f {\displaystyle f} (in Hz ). The theorem also holds true in the discrete-time cases. Since the integral on the left-hand side is the energy of the signal, the value of | x ^ ( f ) | 2 d f {\displaystyle \left|{\hat {x}}(f)\right|^{2}df} can be interpreted as

1943-514: Is then estimated to be E ( f ) / Δ f {\displaystyle E(f)/\Delta f} . In this example, since the power V ( t ) 2 / Z {\displaystyle V(t)^{2}/Z} has units of V Ω, the energy E ( f ) {\displaystyle E(f)} has units of V s Ω = J , and hence the estimate E ( f ) / Δ f {\displaystyle E(f)/\Delta f} of

2010-418: Is to estimate the spectral density of a random signal from a sequence of time samples. Depending on what is known about the signal, estimation techniques can involve parametric or non-parametric approaches, and may be based on time-domain or frequency-domain analysis. For example, a common parametric technique involves fitting the observations to an autoregressive model . A common non-parametric technique

2144-451: The power spectra of signals. The spectrum analyzer measures the magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of an input signal. If the signal being analyzed can be considered a stationary process, the STFT is a good smoothed estimate of its power spectral density. Primordial fluctuations , density variations in the early universe, are quantified by a power spectrum which gives

2211-498: The autocorrelation of x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} form a Fourier transform pair, a result also known as the Wiener–Khinchin theorem (see also Periodogram ). As a physical example of how one might measure the energy spectral density of a signal, suppose V ( t ) {\displaystyle V(t)} represents the potential (in volts ) of an electrical pulse propagating along

Now, if we divide the time convolution above by the period T {\displaystyle T} and take the limit as T → ∞ {\displaystyle T\rightarrow \infty } , it becomes the autocorrelation function of the non-windowed signal x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} , which

2345-592: The cross-spectral density can similarly be calculated; as the PSD is related to the autocorrelation, so is the cross-spectral density related to the cross-correlation . Some properties of the PSD include: Given two signals x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} and y ( t ) {\displaystyle y(t)} , each of which possess power spectral densities S x x ( f ) {\displaystyle S_{xx}(f)} and S y y ( f ) {\displaystyle S_{yy}(f)} , it

Here, power can be the actual physical power, or more often, for convenience with abstract signals, is simply identified with the squared value of the signal. For example, statisticians study

Nonlinear circuits include compandors , multipliers ( frequency mixers , voltage-controlled amplifiers ), voltage-controlled filters , voltage-controlled oscillators , and phase-locked loops . Continuous-time signal processing

2613-568: The Fourier transform does not formally exist. Regardless, Parseval's theorem tells us that we can re-write the average power as follows. P = lim T → ∞ 1 T ∫ − ∞ ∞ | x ^ T ( f ) | 2 d f {\displaystyle P=\lim _{T\to \infty }{\frac {1}{T}}\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }|{\hat {x}}_{T}(f)|^{2}\,df} Then

2680-704: The PSD is seen to be a special case of the CSD for x ( t ) = y ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)=y(t)} . If x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} and y ( t ) {\displaystyle y(t)} are real signals (e.g. voltage or current), their Fourier transforms x ^ ( f ) {\displaystyle {\hat {x}}(f)} and y ^ ( f ) {\displaystyle {\hat {y}}(f)} are usually restricted to positive frequencies by convention. Therefore, in typical signal processing,

2747-399: The PSD. Energy spectral density (ESD) would have units of V s Hz, since energy has units of power multiplied by time (e.g., watt-hour ). In the general case, the units of PSD will be the ratio of units of variance per unit of frequency; so, for example, a series of displacement values (in meters) over time (in seconds) will have PSD in units of meters squared per hertz, m/Hz.

That is the reason why we cannot use the energy of the signal, which is that diverging integral, in such cases. In analyzing the frequency content of the signal x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} , one might like to compute the ordinary Fourier transform x ^ ( f ) {\displaystyle {\hat {x}}(f)} ; however, for many signals of interest

Schafer , the principles of signal processing can be found in the classical numerical analysis techniques of the 17th century. They further state that the digital refinement of these techniques can be found in the digital control systems of the 1940s and 1950s. In 1948, Claude Shannon wrote

3953-561: The power spectral density is simply defined as the integrand above. From here, due to the convolution theorem , we can also view | x ^ T ( f ) | 2 {\displaystyle |{\hat {x}}_{T}(f)|^{2}} as the Fourier transform of the time convolution of x T ∗ ( − t ) {\displaystyle x_{T}^{*}(-t)} and x T ( t ) {\displaystyle x_{T}(t)} , where * represents

4288-447: The spectral components yields the total power (for a physical process) or variance (in a statistical process), identical to what would be obtained by integrating x 2 ( t ) {\displaystyle x^{2}(t)} over the time domain, as dictated by Parseval's theorem . The spectrum of a physical process x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} often contains essential information about

4355-424: The terminals of a one ohm resistor , then indeed the instantaneous power dissipated in that resistor would be given by x 2 ( t ) {\displaystyle x^{2}(t)} watts . The average power P {\displaystyle P} of a signal x ( t ) {\displaystyle x(t)} over all time is therefore given by the following time average, where

4422-445: The total energy is found by integrating V ( t ) 2 / Z {\displaystyle V(t)^{2}/Z} with respect to time over the duration of the pulse. To find the value of the energy spectral density S ¯ x x ( f ) {\displaystyle {\bar {S}}_{xx}(f)} at frequency f {\displaystyle f} , one could insert between

4489-422: The transmission line and the resistor a bandpass filter which passes only a narrow range of frequencies ( Δ f {\displaystyle \Delta f} , say) near the frequency of interest and then measure the total energy E ( f ) {\displaystyle E(f)} dissipated across the resistor. The value of the energy spectral density at f {\displaystyle f}
