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:

    “One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
