Root Mean Square - RMS in Frequency Domain

RMS in Frequency Domain

The RMS can be computed in the frequency domain, using Parseval's theorem. For a sampled signal,

,

where and is number of samples.

In this case, the RMS computed in the time domain is the same as in the frequency domain:

RMS =\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{n}{{{x}^{2}}(t)}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n^2}\sum\limits_{n}{{{\left| X(f) \right|}^{2}}}} = \sqrt{\sum\limits_{n}{{{ \left|\frac{X(f)}{n}\right| ^ 2 }}}}

Famous quotes containing the words frequency and/or domain:

    “The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
    —Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    “When it had long since outgrown his purely medical implications and become a world movement which penetrated into every field of science and every domain of the intellect: literature, the history of art, religion and prehistory; mythology, folklore, pedagogy, and what not.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
