Hi,
I am bit confused in computing power of a guassian pulse modulated signal.
Fc=50e6;
t=0:1/Fs:255/Fs;
tau1=400e-9;
tau2=80e-9;
St=sin(2*pi*Fc*t).*exp(-4*pi*(((t-tau1)/tau2).^2));
At present I am computing power as below:
Power=mean(St.^2,2);
Is it right? or am missing something.
Looking forward to your comments and suggestions.

Definitions of power vary by field. A few things:
  • currently, your power will change if you alter sampling rate. This should fix that:
Power=mean(St.^2,2)/Fs^2;
  • sometimes, "power" means total energy, not energy per time. Use sum in that case
  • This signal is effectively zero for most of it's duration. If this is a single pulse (vs a periodic signal), average energy depends on your choice of sampling duration
