PeriodogramArray

PeriodogramArray[list]

returns the squared magnitude of the discrete Fourier transform (power spectrum) of list.

PeriodogramArray[list,n]

averages the power spectra of non-overlapping partitions of length n.

PeriodogramArray[list,n,d]

uses partitions with offset d.

PeriodogramArray[list,n,d,wfun]

applies a smoothing window wfun to each partition.

PeriodogramArray[list,n,d,wfun,m]

pads partitions with zeros to length m prior to the computation of the transform.

PeriodogramArray[image,…]

returns the squared power spectrum of image.

PeriodogramArray[audio,…]

returns the squared power spectrum of audio.

PeriodogramArray[video,…]

returns the squared power spectrum of the first audio track in video.

Options  (1)

FourierParameters  (1)

Change in the first Fourier parameter affects scaling:

Change in the second Fourier parameter does not affect the result:

Properties & Relations  (4)

Verification of Parseval's theorem:

Comparison with ListFourierSequenceTransform:

With partitions longer than the list, a zero-padded version of the list is used:

Use logarithmic scaling to visualize the power spectra of an image:

Possible Issues  (1)

When averaging over partitions, Parseval's theorem may be violated:
