Method

See e.g. Bloomfield - "Fourier Analysis of Time Series: An Introduction" Power and cross-spectra are calculated using a NAG FFT routine, these are then smoothed with a truncated Gaussian (truncated at 2.5 sigma). A cosine bell taper can be applied to the input data to reduce leakage in the spectrum, though it will also reduce the total power somewhat.

NOTE: The phase spectrum has a negative slope when INP1 leads INP2.
