Basic Elements of Power Spectral Analysis

Abstract

A short presentation is made on the basic elements of Power Spectral analysis with emphasis on the Blackman-Tukey method. Short discussions are included on the topics of pre-whitening, frequency and spectral windows, and statistical reliability. Examples are included whenever possible, and a Fortran subroutine for calculating a power spectrum is presented.
