How do you find the variance of PSD?
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 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).
Is variance and power same?
We can describe variance as the averaged power of the signal's random deviations expressed as power. This means that variance doesn't have the same unit as the values that we started with. If we're analyzing fluctuations in a voltage signal, variance has units of V2 instead of V.
What is the variance of Gaussian white noise?
For Gaussian noise, this implies that the filtered white noise can be represented by a sequence of independent, zero-mean, Gaussian random variables with variance of σ2 = No W. Note that the variance of the samples and the rate at which they are taken are related by σ2 = Nofs/2.
