What is probability density function in signal and system?

The probability density function (PDF), or density of a continuous random variable, is a function that describes the relative likelihood for this random variable to take on a given value.

How do you calculate the power spectrum of a signal?

Power spectrum (PS) of biological time series (of an electroencephalogram recording, for instance) often shows a relationship of decreasing power as a function of frequency (f) according to the general equation: PS(f) = ψ × f^-α (Norena et al., 2010).

What is the spectrum of a signal?

The signal spectrum describes a signal's magnitude and phase characteristics as a function of frequency. The system spectrum describes how the system changes signal magnitude and phase as a function of frequency. For example, At the lower frequencies, below around 80 Hz, the magnitude spectrum is 1.0.

What does the spectral density function of any signal specify?

The power spectral density (PSD) of the signal describes the power present in the signal as a function of frequency, per unit frequency. Power spectral density is commonly expressed in watts per hertz (W/Hz).
