it is

POWER
SPECTRA
The result of the FFT
with
A
bins averaged,
are
(N/2A)-1
bins of average
spectral energy
(APSn)
representing frequencies
from 0 Hzto 112lhe
sampling frequency.
The
value
of ivaries
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.)
is related to the
spectral
bin values
(PS;
see
previous
section)

following equation:

The following table illustrates how
bin
is
done
given
a time series
of
1024 values
at one
per
second with
the
resulting
512
bins averaged in
groups
of 4
(Parameter

=

4
=
2l
to
produce
'127
averaged
bins.
In
the
following
example, averaging
produces
bins with representative frequencies
that are
same as if
256
samples had been used with no
averaging.
Note
that when
averaging
is done,
information from the first
few and
last few
bins
is
not included so that the averages can better
represent frequencies
that correspond to
of fewer
original
samples.
