Power and Energy Spectral Density
• The power spectral density (PSD) Sx() for a signal is a measure of its power distribution as a function of frequency
• It is a useful concept which allows us to determine the bandwidth required of a transmission system
• We will now present some basic results which will be employed later on
PSD
• Consider a signal x(t) with Fourier Transform (FT) X()
dtetxX tj )()(
• We wish to find the energy and power distribution of x(t) as a function of frequency
Deterministic Signals• If x(t) is the voltage across a R=1 resistor,
the instantaneous power is,2

• Thus the total energy in x(t) is,

Where E(2f) is termed the Energy Density Spectrum (EDS), since the energy of x(t) in the range fo to fo+fo is,

Deterministic Signals• For communications signals, the energy is
effectively infinite (the signals are of unlimited duration), so we usually work with Power quantities
• We find the average power by averaging over time

Random Signals
• The previous results apply to deterministic signals
• In general, we deal with random signals, eg the transmitted PAM signal is random because the symbols (ak) take values at random
• Fortunately, our earlier results can be extended to cover random signals by the inclusion of an extra averaging or expectation step, over all possible values of the random signal x(t)
PSD, random signals
• The W-K result holds for random signals, choosing for x(t) any randomly selected realisation of the signal
