# Noise Shape Filter to obtain a given PSD

I have experimental PSD data of disturbances in terms of acceleration on a mass. My first problem is that these data are presented as $$(m/s^2)/\sqrt(Hz)$$ which is not the PSD unit. Those unit should be adressed to an amplitude spectral density (ASD) which is directly $$ASD = \sqrt{PSD}$$. (I am not sure of that either, beacuase in some books the relations takes into account $$\sqrt{2}$$. However, my idea is to reconvert into a transfer function (TF) the PSD and then use that TF as a filter. Infact, if the TF is fed by a white noise ($$W(f) = 1$$) the output of the filter operation is $$H(f)*1$$ i.e. the colored noise in frequency domain $$C(f)$$. Thus $$PSD =|H(f)|^2$$ So I can interpolate the given points and use a least square method to obtain the chosen number of coefficients of the TF $$min(a_z, b_p) \sum_{i} (|H(2\pi j f)|- \sqrt{PSD}|)^2$$ ( I don't really know how to do this). My other option is to hit and trial whit some tf Below, there is an image of the data.

To finish I am leaving here what I have done on Matlab
