NAME
spectrum1d - compute auto- [and cross- ] spectra from one [or two]
timeseries.
SYNOPSIS
spectrum1d [ x[y]file ] -Ssegment_size] [ -C ] [ -Ddt ] [ -Nname_stem ]
[ -V ] [ -W ] [ -bi[s][n] ] [ -bo[s] ]
DESCRIPTION
spectrum1d reads X [and Y] values from the first [and second] columns
on standard input [or x[y]file]. These values are treated as
timeseries X(t) [Y(t)] sampled at equal intervals spaced dt units
apart. There may be any number of lines of input. spectrum1d will
create file[s] containing auto- [and cross- ] spectral density
estimates by Welch's method of ensemble averaging of multiple
overlapped windows, using standard error estimates from Bendat and
Piersol.
The output files have 3 columns: f or w, p, and e. f or w is the
frequency or wavelength, p is the spectral density estimate, and e is
the one standard deviation error bar size. These files are named
based on name_stem. If the -C option is used, eight files are
created; otherwise only one (xpower) is written. The files (which are
ASCII unless -bo is set) are as follows:
name_stem.xpower
Power spectral density of X(t). Units of X * X * dt.
name_stem.ypower
Power spectral density of Y(t). Units of Y * Y * dt.
name_stem.cpower
Power spectral density of the coherent output. Units same as
ypower.
name_stem.npower
Power spectral density of the noise output. Units same as
ypower.
name_stem.gain
Gain spectrum, or modulus of the transfer function. Units of (Y
/ X).
name_stem.phase
Phase spectrum, or phase of the transfer function. Units are
radians.
name_stem.admit
Admittance spectrum, or real part of the transfer function.
Units of (Y / X).
name_stem.coh
(Squared) coherency spectrum, or linear correlation coefficient
as a function of frequency. Dimensionless number in [0, 1]. The
Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) is coh / (1 - coh). SNR = 1 when coh
= 0.5.
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
x[y]file
ASCII (or binary, see -bi) file holding X(t) [Y(t)] samples in
the first 1 [or 2] columns. If no file is specified, spectrum1d
will read from standard input.
-S segment_size is a radix-2 number of samples per window for
ensemble averaging. The smallest frequency estimated is
1.0/(segment_size * dt), while the largest is 1.0/(2 * dt). One
standard error in power spectral density is approximately 1.0 /
sqrt(n_data / segment_size), so if segment_size = 256, you need
25,600 data to get a one standard error bar of 10%. Cross-
spectral error bars are larger and more complicated, being a
function also of the coherency.
OPTIONS
-C Read the first two columns of input as samples of two timeseries,
X(t) and Y(t). Consider Y(t) to be the output and X(t) the input
in a linear system with noise. Estimate the optimum frequency
response function by least squares, such that the noise output is
minimized and the coherent output and the noise output are
uncorrelated.
-D dt Set the spacing between samples in the timeseries [Default =
1].
-N name_stem Supply the name stem to be used for output files
[Default = "spectrum"].
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr
[Default runs "silently"].
-W Write Wavelength rather than frequency in column 1 of the output
file[s] [Default = frequency, (cycles / dt)].
-bi Selects binary input. Append s for single precision [Default is
double]. Append n for the number of columns in the binary
file(s). [Default is 2 input columns].
-bo Selects binary output. Append s for single precision [Default is
double].
EXAMPLES
Suppose data.g is gravity data in mGal, sampled every 1.5 km. To
write its power spectrum, in mGal**2-km, to the file data.xpower, try
spectrum1d data.g -S256 -D1.5 -Ndata
Suppose in addition to data.g you have data.t, which is topography in
meters sampled at the same points as data.g. To estimate various
features of the transfer function, considering data.t as input and
data.g as output, try
paste data.t data.g | spectrum1d -S256 -D1.5 -Ndata -C
