How to use the cross-spectral density to calculate the phase shift of two related signals

Question

I\'ve two signals, from which I expect that one is responding on the other, but with a certain phase shift.

Now I would like to calculate the coherence or the normalize

Answer 1

I am not sure, where the phase variable was calculated in the answer of @Mattijn.

You can calculate the phase shift from the angle between the real and the imaginary part of the cross-spectral density.

from matplotlib import mlab

# First create power sectral densities for normalization
(ps1, f) = mlab.psd(s1, Fs=1./dt, scale_by_freq=False)
(ps2, f) = mlab.psd(s2, Fs=1./dt, scale_by_freq=False)
plt.plot(f, ps1)
plt.plot(f, ps2)

# Then calculate cross spectral density
(csd, f) = mlab.csd(s1, s2, NFFT=256, Fs=1./dt,sides='default', scale_by_freq=False)
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 1)
# Normalize cross spectral absolute values by auto power spectral density
ax1.plot(f, np.absolute(csd)**2 / (ps1 * ps2))
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 2)
angle = np.angle(csd, deg=True)
angle[angle<-90] += 360
ax2.plot(f, angle)

# zoom in on frequency with maximum coherence
ax1.set_xlim(9, 11)
ax1.set_ylim(0, 1e-0)
ax1.set_title("Cross spectral density: Coherence")
ax2.set_xlim(9, 11)
ax2.set_ylim(0, 90)
ax2.set_title("Cross spectral density: Phase angle")

plt.show()

fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111)

ax.plot(f, np.real(csd), label='real')
ax.plot(f, np.imag(csd), label='imag')

ax.legend()
plt.show()

The power spectral density of the two signals to be correlated:

The coherence and the phase of the two signals (zoomed in to 10 Hz):

And here the real and imaginary(!) part of the cross spectral density:
