    The document discusses power spectral density (PSD), which measures the energy at different frequencies. PSD is calculated by taking the absolute value of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) coefficients, and the power is the square of the absolute value. MATLAB code is provided to generate signals, apply the FFT, and plot the PSD. The code demonstrates that PSD can identify the frequencies present in a signal corrupted with noise.

    POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY
    OBJECTIVE:
    To verify Power Spectral Density.

    THEORY:
    The power spectral density (P.S.D) is a measurement of the energy at various
    frequencies. Usually we only care how much information is contained at a particular frequency and
    we don’t really care whether it is part of the sine or cosine series. Therefore, we are interested in the
    absolute value of the FFT coefficients. The absolute value will provide you with the total amount of
    information contained at a given frequency, the square of the absolute value is considered the power
    of the signal. Remember that the absolute value of the Fourier coefficients are the distance of the
    complex number from the origin. To get the power in the signal at each frequency (commonly
    called the power spectrum) you can try the following commands.

    >> N = 8; %% number of points

    >> t = [0:N-1]’/N; %% define time

    >> f = sin(2*pi*t); %%define function

    >> p = abs(fft(f))/(N/2); %% absolute value of the fft

    >> p = p(1:N/2).^2 %% take the positve frequency half

    This set of commands will return something much easier to understand, you should get 1
    at a frequency of 1 and zeros everywhere else. Try substituting cos for sin in the above
    commands, you should get the same result. Now try making >>f = sin(2*pi*t) + cos(2*pi*t).
    This change should result in twice the power contained at a frequency of 1.

    Thus far we have looked at data that is defined on the time interval of 1 second,
    therefore we could interpret the location in the number list as the frequency. If the data is taken
    over an arbitrary time interval we need to map the index into the Fourier series back to a
    frequency in Hertz. The following m-file script will create something that might look like data
    that we would obtain from a sensor.

    POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY

    INTRODUCTION:
    The power spectral density (P.S.D) is a measurement of the energy at various
    frequencies. Usually we only care how much information is contained at a particular frequency
    and we don’t really care whether it is part of the sine or cosine series. Therefore, we are
    interested in the absolute value of the FFT coefficients.

    ABSTRACT:
    The absolute value will provide you with the total amount of information contained at a
    given frequency, the square of the absolute value is considered the power of the signal.
    Remember that the absolute value of the Fourier coefficients are the distance of the complex
    number from the origin. Thus far we have looked at data that is defined on the time interval of 1
    second, therefore we could interpret the location in the number list as the frequency. If the data
    is taken over an arbitrary time interval we need to map the index into the Fourier series back to
    a frequency in Hertz. The following m-file script will create something that might look like data
    that we would obtain from a sensor.

    CONCLUSION:
    In this lab, our main outcome was to get familiar with the Power Spectrum Density and
    observe tit by plotting it in MATLAB. After the successful completion of this lab, we became
    familiar with Power Spectral Density. Using our traditional coding techniques of MATLAB we
    plotted the power density on the graphs and observed the outcome.
