How do you calculate PSD?
The power spectral density (PSD) is simply the (overall level)^2 divided by the bandwidth. Again, the unit [ GRMS^2 / Hz ] is typically abbreviated as [ G^2 / Hz ]. A plot of the power spectral density function is shown in Figure 5, represented as a bar graph.
How do I convert FFT to PSD?
To get the PSD from your FFT values, square each FFT value and divide by 2 times the frequency spacing on your x axis. If you want to check the output is scaled correctly, the area under the PSD should be equal to the variance of the original signal.
What is PSD analysis?
Power-spectral-density (PSD) analysis is a type of frequency-domain analysis in which a structure is subjected to a probabilistic spectrum of harmonic loading to obtain probabilistic distributions for dynamic response measures.
