Is Allan variance still relevant?

I've been working with Allan variance for a while and I'm not really super excited about is purpose. I understand that noise time recordings, if they include flicker noise, diverge in time. In other ...

What determines the accuracy of the phase result in a DFT bin?

What are the factors that affect the accuracy and precision for the phase that is given by the DFT? Just thinking medium-hard about this, it occurs to me that it must have something to do with the ...

How to interpret Allan Deviation plot for gyroscope?

Regions with different slopes correspond to different types of noises in Allan Deviation plot of a steady gyroscope at steady temperature. My doubts are: What is significance of x axis in this plot, ...

Averaging data from 2 sensors

Suppose we take a reading of a single rotating axis using 2 identical sensors. Intuitively, I think that averaging the outputs of both sensors will yield a less noisy result. But what if sensor A has ...

How to interpret ADEV plot?

I want to understand how to interpret ADEV plots. I was of the understanding that if we see a peak at 1sec of TDEV plot there is a 1Hz noise in Time Interval Error(TIE) Capture. To understand the ...

Is it possible to add some kind of noise to a non stationary (having unit root) signals to make them stationary?

I am working on time-series signals for which I need to fit a model (like MVAR) that could describe the process satisfactorily. However, my signal has a unit root and is highly non-stationary because ...

Fourier transform of the energy

If I have the time history of the energy, Does it make sense to do the fourier transform of this energy? or if I want to see the energy in frequency the PSD is the only tool? and Why

Frequency representation of relaxation processes

I simulated a discrete sample of a variable whose autocorrelation function (ACF) should theoretically be composed of a sum of exponential-like functions. My goal is to represent it in the frequency ...

FFT to work out optimum number of samples to average

I have a magnetometer, a LIS3MDL to be precise, and I am taking readings from it every second. As expected there is variation in the readings. For example, if I take five readings I get: 1164, 1190, ...

Why are the PSDs off by 100 times

I produced the "elevation vs distance" profile data and their PSD plots, I am trying to get the smartphone estimated profile close to the reference profile. As you can see, the PSD of the ...
