I'm trying to get the spectrum of my signal in dBFS units. I'm not sure what is the refernce that I should devide by. I computed the power spectrum as follows:
1) FFT normalized to the number of samples
p = abs(fft(signal))/(No_of_samps/2);
2) and then I calculated the power spectrum for half of the samples (one-sided)
p = p(1:Nsamps/2).^2;
3) I tried to represent it in dBFS as follows:
p_dBFs = 10*log(abs(p)/(vref/2)^2);
Where vref is my reference p-p voltage in the ADC.
I'm just not sure whether I should devide by the reference voltage to get values in dBFS, like when I apply a FS signal I would like to see the highest peak in the spectrum at exactly 0 dBFs.
Note: The time-domain signal is also multiplied by a hamming window before computing the FFT.
Any help is appreciated.
Sorry for the long post. Thank you guys very much.
