I'm trying to work out why two different ways of doing a single-sided PSD analysis yields different results. As far as I can tell, these two methods below, are the same, with same FFT parameters, but I guess they can't be, because the results are ~ 40 dB different. Thanks in advance for any advice/help!
%Read audio file
clc;clear
load('xbit.mat');
Fs=96000;
xbit=detrend(xbit);
%FFT inputs
S=-163.287; %calibration
N=Fs; %segment length
r=0.5; %50% overlap
lcut=1; %low frequeny cut-off
hcut=48000;%high frequency cut-off
%% PWelch method
pxx=pwelch(xbit,N,[],Fs); %perform PSD analysis
%signal, window/segment length, overlap (default = 50%), nfft size
pxx_dB=10*log10(pxx)-S; %convert to dB re 1µPa and calibrate
clearvars -except pxx_dB xbit Fs S N r lcut hcut
%% Manual method
% Divide signal into data segments
xl = length(xbit);
xbit = single(xbit); %reduce precision to single for speed
xgrid = buffer(xbit,N,ceil(N*r),'nodelay').';
%grid whose rows are each (overlapped)
% segment for analysis
clear xbit
if xgrid(length(xgrid(:,1)),N) == 0 %remove final segment if not full
xgrid = xgrid(1:length(xgrid(:,1))-1,:);
end
M = length(xgrid(:,1)); %total number of data segments
% Apply window function
w = (0.54 - 0.46*cos(2*pi*(1:N)/N)); %Hamming window
alpha = 0.54; %scaling factor
xgrid = xgrid.*repmat(w/alpha,M,1); %multiply segments by window function
% Compute DFT
X = abs(fft(xgrid.')).'; %calculate DFT of each data segment
clear xgrid
% Compute power spectrum
P = (X./N).^2; %power spectrum = square of amplitude
clear X
% Compute single-sided power spectrum
Pss = 2*P(:,2:floor(N/2)+1); %remove DC (0 Hz) component and
% frequencies above Nyquist frequency
% Fs/2 (index of Fs/2 = N/2+1), divide
% by noise power bandwidth
% Compute frequencies of DFT bins
f = floor(Fs/2)*linspace(1/(N/2),1,N/2);
%calculate frequencies of DFT bins
flow = find(single(f) >= lcut,1,'first'); %low-frequency cut-off INDEX
fhigh = find(single(f) <= hcut,1,'last'); %high-frequency cut-off INDEX
f = f(flow:fhigh); %frequency bins in user-defined range
nf = length(f); %number of frequency bins
Pss = Pss(:,flow:fhigh);
% Compute noise power bandwidth and delta(f)
B = (1/N).*(sum((w/alpha).^2)); %noise power bandwidth
delf = Fs/N; %frequency bin width
% Convert to dB and apply calibration
a = 10*log10((1/(delf*B))*Pss./(1^2))-S;
% Compute time vector
tint = (1-r)*N/Fs; %time interval in secs between segments
ttot = M*tint-tint; %total duration of file in seconds
t = 0:tint:ttot; %time vector in seconds
% Construct output array
a = double(a);
A = zeros(M+1,nf+1);
A(2:M+1,2:nf+1) = a;
A(1,2:nf+1) = f; A(2:M+1,1) = t;
%Calculate average (frequency-bin wise)
A(2:end,2:end)=10.^(A(2:end,2:end)/10); %convert to linear space
mean_A=mean(A(2:end,2:end));
mean_A=10*log10(mean_A);
mean_A=[0 mean_A];
A=[A(1,:); mean_A];
%% Compare the results of the two methods visually
plot(pxx_dB);
hold on
plot(A(2,2:end));

Hi Louise,
As per my understanding, you are facing an issue while implementing the single-sided PSD.
The “pwelch” function takes in the following arguments:
pxx = pwelch(x,window,noverlap,nfft)
Assume the default Fs to be 1Hz unless specified specifically by:
[pxx,f] = pwelch(___,fs)
You will be able to replicate the results you have obtained through the second method that you have used by modifying the 14th line of your code as follows:
pxx=pwelch(xbit,N,[],N,Fs);
For more information on “pwelch” function please refer to the documentation provided below.
