    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Data Analysis
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Membrane noise analysis often relies on conventional spectral densities.
    • Accurate characterization of random two-state processes is crucial in various scientific fields.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an integral spectrometer with linearly increasing bandwidth filters.
    • Analysis of random two-state processes with Lorentzian spectral density.
    • Calculation of statistical error for membrane noise with finite data.

    Main Results:

    • The integral spectrum exhibits a maximum at the mean frequency and symmetry on a semilog plot.
    • 1/f noise remains flat, preserving spectral symmetry.
    • The method prioritizes amplitude accuracy over frequency resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • The integral spectrum is a viable alternative for random data analysis.
    • It shows favorable comparison with conventional spectral densities for membrane noise.
