What is a cross power spectrum?

Cross power spectral density ❲CPSD❳, or cross-spectrum, is a spectral analysis that compares two signals. It gives the total noise power spectral density of two signals. The only condition is that there should be some phase difference or time delay between these two signals.

What is cross power?

The cross power spectrum is a two-sided complex form, having real and imaginary parts. You can convert the cross power spectrum to magnitude and phase in the same way you compute the amplitude and phase spectrums of a power spectrum. You also can convert the cross power spectrum to a single-sided form.

What is meant by power spectrum?

Power spectrum analysis is a technique commonly used by PID tuning software and applies a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to the variation of a particular signal to compute its frequency spectrum. The result is presented as a plot of signal power against frequency and is referred to as its power spectrum.

What does cross power spectral density signify?

Analysis. The cross-spectral density (CSD) is one of several advanced graph functions used to compare signals. Specifically, it displays the distribution of power for a pair of signals across a frequency spectrum at any time. This information can be used to determine the influence of a signal in relation to another.
