Description

• 

The LSPeriodogram(t, f) command plots the power spectrum for one signal. t and f must be a one-dimensional rtable.

• 

The detrend option specifies if the data should have any linear trend removed before being plotted.

• 

The frequencyscale option controls the scaling used on the frequency axis. The default is Hz.

• 

The powerscale option controls the scaling used on the power axis and can be one of "dB" or "absolute". The default is "dB".

• 

The timeunit option specifies the unit of the input time. The default value is s.

• 

The errors option specifies the expected magnitude of the errors, which is used to get the normalized weight for generalized Lomb Scargle periodogram. It can only be a real number or an one-dimensional array. The default value is NULL.

• 

The outputdata option specifies the number of output data points. These output data points correspond to equally spaced frequencies.

• 

The minimumfrequency option specifies the minimum frequency.

• 

The maximumfrequency option specifies the maximum frequency.

• 

If one of maximumfrequency, minimumfrequency and outputdata is specified, then all of them must be provided. If all of them are not provided, then the frequencies used run from  to , where  and  where  is the number of elements in t. Output frequencies are equally spaced.  

• 

The nyquistfactor option has a default value 1.

• 

The normalization option controls the normalization used on the power and can be one of standard, model, log or psd. The default value is standard. Standard Normalization : . Model Normalization : . Logarithmic Normalization:  . PSD Normalization : . In all normalization methods, let  be the measurement in time  with errors , then  where  is the number of elements in f, and  is the non-varying reference model which is the  for weighted mean.

• 

The oversamplingfactor option specifies the oversampling factor. The default value is 5.

• 

If the centerdata=false option is provided, then the weighted mean will not be subtracted from signal data. The default value is true.

• 

If the generalized=false option is provided, then the generalized Lomb Scargle Periodogram will not be used. The default value is true.

• 

Additional plotting options as described on the plot/options help page may be included.

Examples

Generate a time vector

Assume the time unit is second and generate signal using frequencies of 1 Hz and 2 Hz:

Assume the time unit is day and the frequencies are 1 cycle per day and 2 cycles per day, which are equivalent to 0.000011574 Hz and 0.000023148 Hz
