The FRF spectrum was published by Miller and Vincent
with

  as the argument in the exponential

function. However, this is algebraically wrong
because the frequency f peak is only the peak frequency
(the frequency where the spectral density attains its
  f 4 
maximum) when the exponent is   
  (as shown
