What is the unit of power spectral density?
I have an oscilloscope data, I did plot in time domain, so that unit is in volts (Y axis). After that I took FFT. So now what will be the unit in Y axis?
If I will do 10 log 10 (y axis) can it is ...

How to convert amplitude (V) to dB (V^2/Hz or V/sqrt(Hz) or V?)
I took the FFT of a signal and am currently plotting amplitude (V) vs. frequency (Hz). I'd like to change the Y-Axis units to dB. How would I go about doing this? What would be the units?
It is from ...

PSD vs FFT of voltage magnitude squared and oscilloscopes
Imagine we have a time-domain signal which is a voltage signal. Now if we sample this at the correct rate, and taking the Fourier transform gives us the magnitudes of various frequency components ...
