What is Psd: Definition and 25 Discussions

The PSD Bankengruppe is a German cooperative banking group consisting of 14 autonomous and independent financial institutions. The business model of the PSD banks is a combination of regional direct and affiliated bank. It provides retail banking services via internet, telephone, e-mail, mail and fax or at local branches, it only provides services to retail clients and does not offer banking to self-employed and businesses.
The name PSD originated from the former name Post-Spar- und Darlehnsverein (post-, saving- and loan association). The Post-Spar- und Darlehnsverein banks originally provided financial services by postal clerks only and were assigned to the areas by the post office. They are particularly connected to their area and predominantly operate at a local level.
All PSD banks have a legal structure of a listed cooperative and are therefore cooperative banks. PSD banks are purely private customer banks. Today, with one exception, all 14 PSD banks are in the universal bank business. The PSD banks are part of the Verband der PSD Banken e. V. (union of PSD banks) which is located in Bonn. Besides other services the union acts as auditing association for the banks. All PSD banks are affiliated to the protection scheme of the Bundesverband der Deutschen Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken (National Association of German Cooperative Banks) (BVR).

    Why is this method valid to show function is PSD?

    Hi, I was looking at the following example, and I cannot really understand the justification for why this function is positive semi-definite. Example Problem: We are looking at the function: ## f(x, y) = \frac{x^2}{y}, x \in \mathbb{R} , y > 0 ##. Is this function positive semi-definite...

    I Linearity of power spectral density calculations

    I have a question related to linearity of power spectral density calculation. Suppose I have a time series, divided into some epochs. If I compute PSD by Welch's method with a time window equal to the length of an epoch and without any overlap, I obtain this result: If I calculate the...

    Units For a Power Spectral Density (PSD)

    (Just as clarification on what I am doing, I am attempting to use MATLAB to create PSD plots of time series from pressure and accelerometer sensors. Wave gauge sensors might still be helpful for me. I did not discuss accelerometer sensors in the post but maybe I could figure it out if I get the...

    Automotive Random Vibration and PSD spectrum profiles

    I am starting work on structural durability area for after treatment systems and deal with Random Vibration and PSD profiles quite often. However there are few fundamental questions about PSD profiles that I could not get answer to after a lot of search on internet. So finally decided to write...

    Peak-hold equivalent amplitude for transient vibration

    I have a question regarding transient vibration data I received that was processed into a peak-hold equivalent amplitude (units = g). I have come across peak-hold before which is a type of "averaging" that retains the highest values from each estimate in random vibration overlap processing and...

    Why Use PSD Curves in Random Vibration Analysis?

    In the analysis of Random vibration, we use the PSD curves as the input, I am confused as to why we simply don't use acceleration versus time graph but instead convert it into g^2/Hz and Hz.

    Power Spectral Density Confusion

    Hi, I am working on a project and came across a conceptual roadblock. I am working with a PSD, let's say the units are V^2/Hz. I choose a dF based on how many sine tones I want in the time signal I am going to create. I sample the PSD curve at my frequency bin locations; so I have both my...

    Unraveling the Mystery of N_{0} in PSD of Noise

    I know the power spectral density, PSD, of noise is: \frac{N_{0}}{2} from where do we get N_{0} ? Is that the RMS value of the noise? Is it related to noise power and noise temperature as in the following: N=kTB, where k = Boltzmann’s constant, T is noise temperature, and B is...

    ISO 8608: get the time history from PSD of road roughness?

    Hi all, I have a vehicle multibody model and I want to excite it in different conditions. So I'm thinking to use the PSD or road roughness as reported in the ISO 8608. What I don't understand is, how can I get an equivalent time history of the vertical road displacement from the PSD? thanks

    Confused about autocorrelation and PSD

    I am confused a bit :confused:. I read in a paper that the following property holds, but can't find where it comes from. \mathsf{E}\left[X(\omega)X^*(\omega')\right]=2\pi\delta(\omega-\omega')S_{XX}(\omega) it says that the expected value of the Fourier transformed signal is proportional...
