How do you normalize the FFT spectrum?

Normalise the fft by dividing it by the length of the original signal in the time domain. Zero values within the signal are considered to be part of the signal, so 'non-zero samples' is inappropriate. The length to use to normalise the signal is the length before adding zero-padding.

Is FFT same as power spectrum?

Computations Using the FFT

The power spectrum shows power as the mean squared amplitude at each frequency line but includes no phase information. Because the power spectrum loses phase information, you may want to use the FFT to view both the frequency and the phase information of a signal.

What is normalized power spectrum?

The normalized power spectrum ∫0∞Sω=1 may be interpreted as a geometric figure or the probability density function of the frequency ω, and may be used to define the spectral moments. From: Encyclopedia of Vibration, 2001.

How do you calculate power spectrum from FFT?

To get the PSD from your FFT values, square each FFT value and divide by 2 times the frequency spacing on your x axis.
