Jul 30 at 19:53 comment added ACR Okay, right. Welch is another story compared to the simple power spectrum.

Jul 30 at 19:50 comment added Baddioes @ACR overlap refers to something live Welch's method, where the data is broken up into smaller chunks, you take the magnitude squared of the DFT of each chunk, and then average. The temporal aperture of each chunk is smaller than the whole aperture, making the bandwidth of each DFT filter larger, requiring a different scaling.
Jul 30 at 19:48 comment added ACR What did you mean by overlap in a power spectrum?
Jul 30 at 19:43 comment added Baddioes @ACR provided there is no windowing or overlap, yes.
Jul 30 at 19:42 comment added ACR Thank you Baddioes, I was interested in scaling power spectrum not power spectrum density, so in power spectrum 1/$N^2$, scaling is correct, provided there is no window.
