For measurements the interest is in the "drift" of a variable with respect to a measurement at a previous time. This is calculated by applying the signal time differencing:
to
Where is the time between measurements, , and
has the units of at 1 hz and includes the
contribution of both positive and negative frequency terms.
After some manipulation, the variance of the voltage difference in watts is:
