Examples and How To

Estimate Frequency-Response Models in the App

You must have already imported your data into the app and performed any necessary preprocessing operations.

Estimate Frequency-Response Models at the Command Line

You can use theetfe,spa, andspafdrcommands to estimate spectral models.

Concepts

What is a Frequency-Response Model?

Afrequency-response modelis the frequency response of a linear system evaluated over a range of frequency values.

Data Supported by Frequency-Response Models

Characteristics of data supported for estimation of spectral analysis models.

Selecting the Method for Computing Spectral Models

How to select the method for computing spectral models during estimation in the app and at the command line.

Controlling Frequency Resolution of Spectral Models

Controlling frequency resolution of spectral models during estimation in the app and at the command line.

Spectrum Normalization

Thespectrumof a signal is the square of the Fourier transform of the signal.
