transform - Power Spectral Density computation and units


I want to make some calculs of power spectral densité of signal. For example a real voltage signal (physical unit : V) in time g(t), its fourier transform G(f) and Sg(f). As far as I know, the power spectral density units for g(t) is V2/Hz. However, I find in various sources the following equation to calculate the power spectral density : Sg(f)=|G(f)|2=G(f)G(f)


I do not understand this "definition" (of course the most fundamental definition of PSD is given by the Wienner-Kintchine theorem) , as it leads to a spectral density in V2/Hz2.



Regards, Mike

I have a question about matched filtering. Does the matched filter maximise the SNR at the moment of decision only? As far as I understand, ...
