Periodogram Formula for sampling noise

The formula I know for the periodogram is $$I\left(f\right)=\frac{1}{NT}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\left|x\left[n\right]\exp\left(-2\pi fjnT\right)\right|^2$$ but for this one question I have which states that $...

Proof of the equivalence of the Band-RMS evaluated in time and frequency

Ignoring normalization factors, we can define the squared Root Mean Square (RMS) of a discret-time signal $x[t+n], n=0,1,...$, at time $t$ as: $$\mathrm{RMS}^2_t = \sum_{n=0} ^{N-1} |x[t+n]|^2$$ ...

Is there a version of Welch's method that doesn't look for power?

Welch's method splits a time signal, $x(n)$ into $M$ periodograms $P_m$, $P_{x_m,M }(k) = \frac{1}{M}|F_k(x_m)|^2$ and averages them to give the Power Spectral Density (PSD), $S_{x}(k) = \frac{1}{K}...
