Power spectrum

Description

"Power spectrum" computes the power spectrum or power spectral density according to the Wiener-Khintchine theorem

of the given signal x, where denotes the Autocorrelation function of x.

Internally, the power spectrum is computed by performing a Fast Fourier Transform within a window slided along the signal.

Parameters of "Power spectrum" are

Note: The type of window function and type of Fast Fourier Transform can be adjusted in the Basic Options menu under Fourier.

Warning: Note that y(0) is suppressed in order to avoid its large values dominating the result.
