The frequency which has the maximum power is taken as the fundamental frequency. To determine the position and power of the harmonics, the maximum power value is searched around the approximate harmonic frequency, on either side of (2 × n + 1), where “n” is the number of harmonics.
Filtering is applied to the FFT based on the following user-specified values in the HSDC Pro menu option – Notch frequency bins.
Depending on the FFT windowing technique, some neighboring bins on either side of the fundamental bin are excluded from notching.
The number of neighboring bins on either side of the fundamental bin excluded based on FFT windowing technique are as follows:
When the Harmonic/Spur Power Calculation method is provided as Integrate, the above neighboring bins are also applied to the either side of harmonic frequencies, and are excluded from notching. This also controls whether to exclude these neighboring bins around harmonics in calculation of RMS noise.
The RMS noise is calculated from the FFT, excluding the fundamental and its neighboring bins (based on the FFT window), harmonics and its neighboring bins (based on GUI menu option and FFT window), and the custom notch frequencies.
RMS Noise = Square Root (Average of, Sum of Squares of each FFT value excluding the notching)
