How do you calculate RMS of a signal?
RMS is the root-mean-square value of a signal. For a digitised signal, you can calculate it by squaring each value, finding the arithmetic mean of those squared values, and taking the square root of the result.
What are nonstationary signals?
Non-stationary signals are divided into continuous and transient types. Examples of non-stationary continuous signals are the vibration produced by a jackhammer and the sound of a fireworks display. Transient signals are defined as signals which start and end at zero level and last a finite amount of time.
Can you add two RMS values?
Significance of RMS value
► When two uncorrelated (or orthogonal ) signals are added together, such as noise from two independent sources, the RMS value of their sum is equal to the square-root of sum of the square of their individual RMS values.
