spectrum — ONED signal op

使い方

Raw one-sided magnitude spectrum -> (freqs, magnitude) (np.fft.rfft).

Scaling convention — read this before comparing any number. One-sided describes the frequency axis, not the amplitude axis. rfft keeps only the non-negative frequencies, so freqs runs from 0 to rate/2 in len(x)//2 + 1 bins — but magnitude is the unnormalised |rfft(x)|. It is not an amplitude and it grows with len(x): the same tone recorded twice as long comes back twice as tall. Nothing here divides by N; the caller does, and the exact factor depends on the bin::

freqs, mag = spectrum(x, rate)
amp = mag * (2.0 / len(x))       # one-sided amplitude, bins 1 .. N/2-1
amp[0] /= 2.0                    # DC has no mirror twin -> no factor 2
if len(x) % 2 == 0:
    amp[-1] /= 2.0               # nor does the Nyquist bin of an even N

The factor is 2/N and not 1/N because a real sinusoid of amplitude A splits its energy over a positive and a negative frequency; rfft discards the negative half, so the surviving bin holds A*N/2. DC and (for even N) Nyquist are their own mirror image and are not doubled — applying 2/N to them reports twice the true level.

Measured, so the convention can be checked rather than assumed. A unit sine at a bin centre (rate = 25600 Hz, N = 25600, 3000 Hz, amplitude exactly 1.0): the returned mag at 3000 Hz is 12799.999999999998 (= N/2), and mag * 2/N is 0.9999999999999999. A constant signal of value 1.0 with N = 1024: mag[0] = 1024.0, so mag[0] * 1/N is exactly 1.0 while mag[0] * 2/N would claim 2.0. Likewise cos(pi n) (amplitude 1.0 at Nyquist, N = 1024): mag[-1] = 1024.0, * 1/N = 1.0, * 2/N = 2.0.

Everything scale-invariant — where the peak is, the spectral centroid, the bandwidth, a ratio between two bins — is unaffected by the convention, which is why :func:signal_features can build on this directly. Everything absolute (an amplitude in the signal’s own units, a dB level) needs the division above. :func:acoustics.envelope_spectrum and :func:acoustics.order_spectrum already return calibrated one-sided amplitudes (they apply their own 2/N internally) — do not apply the factor twice when comparing their output with this one.
