Thomson's multiple window method of spectral estimationthomson provides a very good estimate of the power spectrum by measuring the energy contained within a collection of rectangular shaped frequency intervals. ... Often, much of the fine structure of a spectral estimate is due to noise. It should be stressed that while other methods of spectral estimation (such as the Welchoppenheim method) exist, the Thomson method is particularly noteworthy for its precisely defined rectangular frequency bins. ...
