11 k = 0, 1, 2 … ( N – 1). n is sample number. 12 n=0 Note that X(k) is, in general, complex, with a real and imaginary part for every k. X(k) is generally calculated using one of the efficient fast-Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms. Calculation of the power density spectrogram can proceed by several methods. First, an array of N samples of x, (xN), is made and stored (N even). The array elements (samples) are renumbered so they extend from −(N/2 − 1) to +N/2.
