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:

1-e^{-Td\cdot s}

to

\frac{a}{f}

Where Td is the time between measurements, s=i\cdot2\pi f, and

a has the units of \frac{watts}{hz} 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:

2a\int_{0}^{f_{h}}\frac{1-cos(Td\cdot2\pi f)}{f}df=-2a\cdot Cin(Td\cdot2\pi f_{h})
