Summary

• Plugin name : Spectral Analysis (FFT)(INSERM contrib)
• Version : 0.1
• Author : Guillaume Gibert
• Company : INSERM
• Short description : Compute spectral analysis using Fast Fourier Transform
• Documentation template generation date : Apr 20 2022

Description

The Spectral Analysis box performs spectrum computations on incoming signals and possible outputs include the spectrum amplitude (the power of the signal in a number of frequency bands), as well as its phase, real part and imaginary part. Output computations may be enabled/disabled from the settings dialog box. The analysis is performed using a Fast Fourier Transform .

Inputs

1. Input signal

The input signal.

• Type identifier : Signal (0x5ba36127, 0x195feae1)

Outputs

Examples

Practical example : visualizing the power spectrum of a signal.

Let's use a Signal Oscillator box to generator sinusoidal signals on one channel. Next we add a Spectral Analysis box and connect boxes together. We make sure the 'Amplitude' of the signal is computed by checking the appropriate setting in the settings dialog box (see image below). Finally, we connect the 'Amplitude' output connector of the Spectral Analysis box to the input connector of a Power Spectrum Display box. The player may now be launched to visualize the power spectrum of the signal.
