Some matlab documentation about Spectral Analysis can be found [[https://fr.mathworks.com/help/signal/ug/spectral-analysis.html][here]]. First, in section [[sec:spectral_analysis_basics]], some basics of spectral analysis are presented. In some cases, we want to generate a time domain signal with defined Power Spectral Density. Two methods are presented in sections [[sec:approximate_tf]] and [[sec:approximate_ifft]]. Finally, some notes are done on how to compute the noise level and signal level from a given Power Spectral Density in section [[sec:compute_psd_levels]]. * Spectral Analysis - Basics :PROPERTIES: :header-args:matlab+: :tangle matlab/spectral_analysis_basics.m :header-args:matlab+: :comments org :mkdirp yes :END: <> ** Introduction :ignore: In this section, the basics of spectral analysis is presented with the associated Matlab commands.

The geophone has some dynamics that we represent with $G_g(s)$, its output a voltage. The output of the geophone is then amplified by a voltage amplifier with a transfer function $G_a(s)$. Finally, the signal is discretised with an ADC and we obtain $x(k\Delta t)$. To obtain the real physical quantity $v(t)$ as measured by the sensor from the obtained signal $x(k\Delta t)$, one have to know the sensitivity of the sensors and electronics used ($G_g(s)$ and $G_a(s)$). #+begin_src latex :file velocity_to_voltage.pdf :post pdf2svg(file=*this*, ext="png") :exports results \begin{tikzpicture} \node[block] (geophone) at (0, 0) {$G_g(s)$}; \node[above] at (geophone.north) {Geophone}; \node[block, right=1 of geophone] (ampli) {$G_a(s)$}; \node[above] at (ampli.north) {Amplifier}; \node[ADC, right=1 of ampli] (adc) {ADC}; \draw[double, <-] (geophone.west) -- node[midway, above]{$v$ [m/s]} ++(-1.4, 0); \draw[->] (geophone.east) -- node[midway, above]{[V]} (ampli.west); \draw[->] (ampli.east) -- node[midway, above]{[V]} (adc.west); \draw[->] (adc.east) -- node[sloped]{$/$}node[midway, above]{$x$ [V]} ++(1.4, 0); \end{tikzpicture} #+end_src #+NAME: fig:velocity_to_voltage #+CAPTION: Schematic of the instrumentation used for the measurement #+RESULTS: fig:velocity_to_voltage [[file:figs/velocity_to_voltage.png]] Let's say, we know that the sensitivity of the geophone used is \[ G_g(s) = G_0 \frac{\frac{s}{2\pi f_0}}{1 + \frac{s}{2\pi f_0}} \quad \left[\frac{V}{m/s}\right] \] The parameters are defined below. #+begin_src matlab G0 = 88; % Sensitivity [V/(m/s)] f0 = 2; % Cut-off frequency [Hz] Gg = G0*(s/2/pi/f0)/(1+s/2/pi/f0); #+end_src And the dynamics of the amplifier in the bandwidth of interest is just a gain: $G_a(s) = 1000$. #+begin_src matlab Ga = 1000; #+end_src ** Convert the time domain from volts to velocity Let's here try to obtain the time domain signal $v(t)$ from the measurement $x$.

The Power Spectral Density (PSD) $S_v(f)$ of the time domain $v(t)$ can be computed using the following equation: \[ S_v(f) = \frac{1}{f_s} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} R_{xx}(m) e^{-j 2 \pi m f / f_s} \ \left[\frac{(m/s)^2}{Hz}\right] \] where - $f_s$ is the sampling frequency in Hz - $R_{xx}$ is the autocorrelation The PSD represents the distribution of the (average) signal power over frequency. $S_v(f)df$ is the infinitesimal power in the band $(f-df/2, f+df/2)$ and the total power in the signal is obtained by integrating these infinitesimal contributions. To compute the Power Spectral Density with matlab, we use the =pwelch= function ([[https://fr.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/pwelch.html?s_tid=doc_ta][documentation]]).

Let's note: - $q$ is the corresponding value in [V] of the least significant bit (LSB) - $\Delta V$ is the full range of the ADC in [V] - $n$ is the number of ADC's bits - $f_s$ is the sample frequency in [Hz] Let's suppose that the ADC is ideal. The only noise comes from the quantization error. Interestingly, the noise amplitude is uniformly distributed. The quantization noise can take a value between $\pm q/2$, and the probability density function is constant in this range (i.e., it’s a uniform distribution). Since the integral of the probability density function is equal to one, its value will be $1/q$ for $-q/2 < e < q/2$ (Fig. [[fig:probability_density_function_adc]]). #+begin_src latex :file probability_density_function_adc.pdf :post pdf2svg(file=*this*, ext="png") :exports results \begin{tikzpicture} \path[fill=black!20!white] (-1, 0) |- (1, 1) |- (-1, 0); \draw[->] (-2, 0) -- (2, 0) node[above left]{$e$}; \draw[->] (0, -0.5) -- (0, 2) node[below right]{$p(e)$}; \node[below] at (1, 0){$\frac{q}{2}$}; \node[below] at (-1, 0){$-\frac{q}{2}$}; \node[right] at (1, 1){$\frac{1}{q}$}; \end{tikzpicture} #+end_src #+name: fig:probability_density_function_adc #+caption: Probability density function $p(e)$ of the ADC error $e$ #+RESULTS: [[file:figs/probability_density_function_adc.png]] Now, we can calculate the time average power of the quantization noise as \begin{equation} P_q = \int_{-q/2}^{q/2} e^2 p(e) de = \frac{q^2}{12} \end{equation} The other important parameter of a noise source is the power spectral density (PSD), which indicates how the noise power spreads in different frequency bands. To find the power spectral density, we need to calculate the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the noise. Assuming that the noise samples are not correlated with one another, we can approximate the autocorrelation function with a delta function in the time domain. Since the Fourier transform of a delta function is equal to one, the *power spectral density will be frequency independent*. Therefore, the quantization noise is white noise with total power equal to $P_q = \frac{q^2}{12}$. Thus, the two-sided PSD (from $\frac{-f_s}{2}$ to $\frac{f_s}{2}$), we should divide the noise power $P_q$ by $f_s$: \begin{equation} \int_{-f_s/2}^{f_s/2} \Gamma(f) d f = f_s \Gamma = \frac{q^2}{12} \end{equation} Finally: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \Gamma &= \frac{q^2}{12 f_s} \\ &= \frac{\left(\frac{\Delta V}{2^n}\right)^2}{12 f_s} \text{ in } \left[ \frac{V^2}{Hz} \right] \end{aligned} \end{equation} * Bibliography :ignore: bibliographystyle:unsrt bibliography:ref.bib
