When using LTspice, I can see the FFT of a voltage. How can I see how much power is in a particular frequency band, and what portion of the total power it is?

The FFT in LTspice is in dB, but it's not clear what the dB are relative to.

    \$\begingroup\$ If you ask it for the FFT of a node voltage, then it's dB voltage, not dB power. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ The FFT scaling is in dBV RMS. You can right-click on the FFT scale and select linear, log, and dB scaling. Perhaps this discussion answers your question. You may want to do the calculations in a maths program. LTspice allows you to export data to a text file (right-click in the middle of the graph). \$\endgroup\$
