cpsd

Started by Ibrahim muhammed August 18, 2010
Hi folks,

Can anyone help me explain why I get negative cross power spectral density
(cpsd) values? I do my calculations in matlab (cpsd) and I always get positive
values until now.

Knowing the usefulness of it would greatly help me in my analysis.

Regards,

Ibra
Hi guys!

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Yes, I used a different data as Jeff said, but the same nfft points.

I found the answer as 'strongly negative cpsd' (which I calculated together with
coherence) means 'high negative coherence'.

Cheers,

Ibrahim

Hi,

Can you elaborate more on cpsd function which one do you use.

Do you use the function along with window and nfft points .

Thanks

Well if you got positive values before and now you get negative values, then what did you change? Different input
data? New version of MATLAB? A change in your calculations?

Something must be different.
