Alternative function to pwelch() and different results

13 views (last 30 days)
I use the pwelch() function from the DSP Toolbox in Matlab R2017a to calculate the power spectral density of a given vector. It works very nice, but now I need to run my code on a Matlab installation which do not have the DSP Toolbox so I need to find an alternative function.
I've found this function with source code: pwelch from Octave which runs on Matlab without problems.
The only this is that the pwelch function from DSP Toolbox returns an output vector which is different from the pwelch from Octave since it has a different size and also different values.
Can you please help me to find a solution to my problem? I already looked on Matlab file exchange but I wasn't able to find a similar function.
This is the original vector:
