How do you calculate the variance from power spectral density?

For a wide-sense-stationary random process, all the random variables comprising the process have the same mean μ and variance σ2, and the variance is the integral of the power spectral density S(f) less the square of the mean: σ2=∫∞−∞S(f)df−μ2.

How do you calculate the density of a power spectrum?

A signal consisting of many similar subcarriers will have a constant power spectral density (PSD) over its bandwidth and the total signal power can then be found as P = PSD · BW.

Is spectral density variance?

The “total” integrated spectral density equals the variance of the series. Thus the spectral density within a particular interval of frequencies can be viewed as the amount of the variance explained by those frequencies.

How do I get PSD from FFT?

A PSD is computed by multiplying each frequency bin in an FFT by its complex conjugate which results in the real only spectrum of amplitude in g².
