S ba (f) = 1 4k a k b P a P b S α (f) Sα (f) log/log scale 1 2m single channel cross spectrum meas. limit Averaging on m spectra, the singlechannel noise is rejected by 1/2m A cross-spectrum higher than the averaging limit validates the measure The knowledge of the single-channel noise is not necessary f
