Calculation method

One-sided frequencies (Hz)

k×sample rate/segment length.

Welch power spectral density

Average one-sided |DFT(window×segment)|²/(fs sum(window²)); double positive non-Nyquist bins.

Complete segment count

Only complete segments retained; no detrending.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Samples, sample rate, window-segment settings. Returns PSD with explicit normalization. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Real signal samples: minimum None, maximum 1000000000000.0. Sampling frequency (Hz): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Segment length: minimum 4, maximum 128. Hop samples: minimum 1, maximum 128. Window: 0 rectangular, 1 Hann, 2 Hamming: minimum 0, maximum 2.
