I got an array of data voltages and I want to get the RMS value from the FFT that has been applied before to that data. I've seen that RMS in time domain should be equal to RMS(fft) / sqrt(nFFT) from Parseval's Theorem, but gives me different results. I'm using these functions: 1)FFT
public static VectorDPoint FFT(double[] trama, double samplingFreq)
{
double fs = samplingFreq; // Sampling frequency
double t1 = 1 / fs; // Sample time
int l = trama.Length; // Length of signal
// Time vector
//Vector t = Normal(0, l, 1) * t1;
//// Values vector
//Vector y = new Vector(trama);
// We just use half of the data as the other half is simetric. The middle is found in NFFT/2 + 1
int nFFT = (int)Math.Pow(2, NextPow2(l));
if (nFFT > 655600)
{ }
// Create complex array for FFT transformation. Use 0s for imaginary part
Complex[] samples = new Complex[nFFT];
for (int i = 0; i < nFFT; i++)
{
if (i >= trama.Length)
{
samples[i] = new MathNet.Numerics.Complex(0, 0);
}
else
{
samples[i] = new MathNet.Numerics.Complex(trama[i], 0);
}
}
ComplexFourierTransformation fft = new ComplexFourierTransformation(TransformationConvention.Matlab);
fft.TransformForward(samples);
ComplexVector s = new ComplexVector(samples);
s = s / l;
Vector f = (fs / 2.0) * Linspace(0, 1, (nFFT / 2) + 1);
VectorDPoint result = new VectorDPoint();
for (int i = 0; i < (nFFT / 2) + 1; i++)
{
result.Add(new DPoint(f[i], 2 * s[i].Modulus));
}
s = null;
f = null;
samples = null;
return result;
2) RMS
public static double RMSCalculate(double[] channelValues, int samplesNumber, double sampleRate, DateTime currentDate)
{
double[] times = new double[channelValues.Length];
double sampleTime = 0.0;
double period = 0;
times[0] = currentDate.Second + currentDate.Millisecond / 1000.0;
sampleTime = 1 / sampleRate; //s
// Limited samples
for (int i = 1; i < channelValues.Length; i++)
{
times[i] = times[i - 1] + sampleTime;
}
DPoint RMSValues = new DPoint();
RMSValues.Y = 0;
if (channelValues.Length == 1)
{
double x = channelValues[0];
double y = channelValues[0];
RMSValues = new DPoint(x, Math.Abs(y));
}
else
{
for (int i = 0; i < times.Length - 1; i++)
{
period = 0;
if (i + 1 < times.Length)
{
RMSValues.Y += channelValues[i + 1] * channelValues[i + 1] * (times[i + 1] - times[i]);
}
}
period = times[times.Length - 1] - times[0];
RMSValues.Y = RMSValues.Y / period;
RMSValues.Y = Math.Sqrt(RMSValues.Y);
}
return RMSValues.Y;
}
