Welch's Method for Power Spectrum
Estimation
1 Segmentation
Welch's method divides the signal into overlapping segments, applying a
window function to each segment.
2 Periodogram Calculation
The periodogram is then computed for each segment and the results are
averaged to obtain the final power spectrum estimate.
3 Variance Reduction
The averaging process in Welch's method reduces the variance of the power
spectrum estimate, improving its reliability and accuracy.
