The energy of the signal at a frequency n is distributed equally between the first and the
second halves of the spectrum; the energy at frequency 0 is completely contained in the
0 term.
The first half of the spectrum (Re, Im), from 0 to the Nyquist frequency is kept for further
processing and doubled in amplitude:

5. The resultant waveform is computed for the spectrum type selected.
If "Magnitude" is selected, the magnitude of the complex vector is computed as:
Steps 1–5 lead to the following result:
An AC sine wave of amplitude 1.0 V with an integral number of periods N
p
in the time window,
transformed with the rectangular window, results in a fundamental peak of 1.0 V magnitude in the
spectrum at frequency N
p
x Delta f. However, a DC component of 1.0 V, transformed with the
rectangular window, results in a peak of 2.0 V magnitude at 0 Hz.
The waveforms for the other available spectrum types are computed as follows:

is the minimum magnitude, fixed at about 0.001 of the full scale at any gain setting,
below which the angle is not well defined.
The dBm Power Spectrum:
where M

= 0.316 V (that is, 0 dBm is defined as a sine wave of 0.316 V peak or 0.224 V rms,
giving 1.0 mW into 50 ohms).
The dBm Power Spectrum is the same as dBm Magnitude, as suggested in the above formula.
dBm Power Density:
where ENBW is the equivalent noise bandwidth of the filter corresponding to the selected window,
and Delta f is the current frequency resolution (bin width).
