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 are the units of PSD?

PSD is typically measured in units of Vrms2 /Hz or Vrms/rt Hz , where "rt Hz" means "square root Hertz". Alternatively, PSD can be expressed in units of dBm/Hz.

How is PSD value calculated?

Summary: Calculating PSD from a Time History File

Frequency-domain data are converted to power by taking the squared magnitude (power value) of each frequency point; the squared magnitudes for each frame are averaged. The average is divided by the sample rate to normalize to a single hertz (Hz).
