BIN FREQUENCY
The band width or the frequency covered by
each averaged bin is equal to FA/N where F is
the sample frequency in Hz (1/scan interval in
seconds) and A is the number of bins being
averaged.
The frequency (f
i
) of any given averaged bin i
where i ranges from 1 to (N/2A)-1 is given by the
following equation:
i-1 * F * A / N < fi < i * F * A / N [9]
For example, given that the power spectrum
result shows that the energy peak of a signal
falls in bin 32 when it is sampled at a frequency
of 10 Hz for 1024 samples and that the bin
averaging specified is 4, the frequency of the
signal in bin i is:
31 * 10 * 4 / 1024 < f
i
< 32 * 10 * 4 / 1024
1.21 Hz < f
i
< 1.25 Hz
POWER SPECTRUM
The result of the FFT with A bins averaged, are
(N/2A)-1 bins of average spectral energy (APSn)
representing frequencies from 0 Hz to 1/2 the
sampling frequency. The value of i varies from
1 to (N/2A)-1. The results are found in
consecutive input locations starting with the first
one specified by Parameter 4. The value for
average bin n (APS
n
) is related to the spectral
bin values (PS
i
see previous section) by the
following equation:
APS
n
=(
Σ
PS
i
+0.5(PS
nA-A/2
+PS
nA+A/2
))/A [10]
where i goes from nA-(A/2-1) to nA+(A/2-1)
The following table illustrates how bin averaging
is done given a time series of 1024 values taken
at one per second with the resulting 512 spectral
bins averaged in groups of 4 (Parameter 3 = log
base 2 of 4 = 2) to produce 127 averaged bins.
