SpectrumAveragingMode

class nirfsa.SpectrumAveragingMode

NO: Configures NI-RFSA to perform no averaging on acquisitions.

RMS: Configures NI-RFSA for root-mean-square (RMS) averaging. RMS averaging reduces signal fluctuations but not the noise floor. RMS averaging averages the energy, or power, of the signal. This averaging prevents noise floor reduction and gives averaged RMS quantities of single-channel measurements zero phase. RMS averaging for dual-channel measurements preserves important phase information.

VECTOR: Configures NI-RFSA for vector averaging. Vector averaging reduces noise from synchronous signals. Vector averaging computes the average of complex quantities directly, which means that it allows separate averaging for real and imaginary parts. Complex averaging such as vector averaging reduces noise and usually requires a trigger to improve block-to-block phase coherence.

PEAK_HOLD: Configures NI-RFSA for peak-hold averaging. Peak-hold averaging retains the RMS peak levels of the averaged quantities. The peak-hold averaging process performs peak-hold at each frequency bin separately to retain peak RMS levels from one FFT record to the next.

A Blackman window is applied to the waveform using the following equation: y[i] = x[i] * (0.42 - 0.50*cos(w) + 0.08*cos(2w))

FLAT_TOP: The fifth-order Flat Top window has the best amplitude accuracy of all the window methods. The increased amplitude accuracy (0.02 dB for signals exactly between integral cycles) is at the expense of frequency selectivity. The Flat Top window is most useful in accurately measuring the amplitude of single frequency components with little nearby spectral energy in the signal. A fifth-order Flat Top window is applied to the waveform using the following equation: y[i] = x[i] * (a0 - a1*cos(w) + a2*cos(2w) - a3*cos(3w) + a4*cos(4w))

_4_TERM_BLACKMAN_HARRIS: A 4-term Blackman-Harris window is a general purpose window; it has side-lobe rejection in the upper 90 dB, with moderately wide side lobe.

_7_TERM_BLACKMAN_HARRIS: A 7-term Blackman-Harris window has the highest dynamic range; it is ideal for signal-to-noise ratio applications. A 7-term Blackman Harris window is applied to the waveform using the following equation: y[i] = x[i] * (a0 - a1*cos(w) + a2*cos(2w) - a3*cos(3w) + a4*cos(4w) - a5*cos(5w) + a6*cos(6w))

LOW_SIDE_LOBE: The Low Side Lobe window further reduces the size of the main lobe. The following equation defines the Low Side Lobe window. where N is the length of window

GAUSSIAN: A Gaussian window is applied to the waveform using the following equation: y[i] = x[i] * exp(-0.5*(i - (N-1)/2)^2 / ((N-1)/2)^2) where N is the length of the window

KAISER_BESSEL: A Kaiser-Bessel window is applied to the waveform using the following equation: y[i] = x[i] * I0(β*sqrt(1 - (2i/(N-1) - 1)^2))/I0(β) where i is between 0 and N-1, N is the length of the window, β determines the shape of the window, and I0 is the zeroth order Modified Bessel method of the first kind
