A periodogram is a statistical tool used to estimate the power spectral density (PSD) of a signal, which indicates how the power of a signal is distributed across different frequency components. It’s a crucial method for analyzing the frequency content of signals, particularly in understanding the energy distribution over time. The periodogram helps in identifying dominant frequencies and is widely applied in non-parametric spectral estimation and analyzing random signals.
