Estimating power spectrum density PSD is essential in signal processing. This short paper gives a theorem to represent a smoothed PSD estimate with the Cauchy integral. It may be used for the approximation of the smoothed PSD estimate. 1. Introduction Estimating power spectrum density PSD of signals plays a role in signal processing. It has applications to many issues in engineering 1–21. Examples include those in biomedical signal processing, see, for example, 1–3, 6, 12, 13. Smoothing an estimate of PSD is com- monly utilized for the purpose of reducing the estimate variance, see, for example, 22–29. By smoothing a PSD estimate, one means that a smoothed estimate of PSD of a signal is the PSD estimate convoluted by a smoother function 30, 31. This short paper aims at providing a representation of a smoothed PSD estimate based on the Cauchy’s integral. 2. Cauchy Representation of Smoothed PSD Estimate Let x t be a signal for −∞ t ∞. Let Sxx ω be its PSD, where ω 2
