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)

    “Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
    —V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
