Dear All,
I confused with the normalizing and scaling of power spectral density. Below is my computation procedure,
Data length = 16384;
Sampling frequency, Fs = 10 Hz;
Nyquist frequency = 5 Hz;
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) of 16384 data points;
Discard the DC component Take the first half FFT components i.e. from 2 to 8193 ((16384/2)+1, Nyquist theorem);
Bandwidth = 5/8192 = 0.000610351;
For each of the 8192 components;
Power = Real^2 + Imaginary^2;
Spectral energy = (2 x Power)/N;
Power spectral density = spectral energy/Fs;
The last step power spectral density is divided by Fs or bandwidth? Why need to have this dividing?
Thank you.
