Abstract

A novel form of correlation window employed to calculate the spectral density of a random process using a Fourier transform of the correlation function is proposed. It is shown that, concerning its metrologic characteristics, the value of the spectral density obtained does not yield the best autoregression estimates. A fast recurrent estimational algorithm is suggested to increase the efficiency of the calculational procedure.
