Power Spectral Density Computation using Modified Welch Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spectral analysis is an important area in signal processing with wide range of application. A low complexity algorithm to compute the power spectral density (PSD) using the Welch method is presented in this paper. The Welch algorithm computes spectral power at the cost of high computational complexity. In order to reduce the complexity and hardware utilization pipelining FFT approach is used. Instead of calculating an N-point FFT directly, an N/2-point FFT is calculated and two N/2point FFTs are merged to obtain an N-point FFT.

PSD Computation using modified Welch algorithm
Power Spectral Density (PSD) shows strength of energy as a function of frequency. PSD computation can be done by the method called FFT. Welch algorithm is used to calculate Power Spectral Density. High computational complexity is the main drawback of Welch method. By using 50% overlap we are reducing the computational complexity of Welch method. Here N/2 point FFT is computed instead of N-point...
