spectrum.cov - Covariance spectrum

Syntax

Hs = spectrum.cov
Hs = spectrum.cov(order)

Description

Hs = spectrum.cov returns a default covariance spectrum object, Hs, that defines the parameters for the covariance spectral estimation algorithm. The covariance algorithm estimates the spectral content by fitting an auto-regressive (AR) linear prediction model of a given order to the signal.

Hs = spectrum.cov(order) returns a spectrum object, Hs with the specified order. The default value for order is 4.

Examples

Define a fourth order auto-regressive model and view its power spectral density using the covariance algorithm.

randn('state',1);
x=randn(100,1);
x=filter(1,[1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5],x);   % 4th order AR filter
Hs=spectrum.cov;                     % 4th order AR model
psd(Hs,x,'NFFT',512)
