What are the main advantages of using the Welch method instead of the traditional periodogram?
Welch's method is an improvement on the standard periodogram spectrum estimating method and on Bartlett's method, in that it reduces noise in the estimated power spectra in exchange for reducing the frequency resolution.
What are the factors on which power spectral density of digital data depend?
Estimation of PSD by Welch's method depends on three parameters, 1) window length – win, 2) percentage of window overlap – noverlap and 3) number of FFT points – N.
What are the difficulties in FFT based power spectral estimation methods?
The common problem of the two methods is that the variance of the estimation is not good, and the estimated value along the frequency axis of the fluctuation is more severe; the longer the data, the more serious the phenomenon.

Resolve Signal Components
Estimate the one-sided power spectral density of a noisy sinusoidal signal with two frequency components. Fs = 32e3; t = 0:1/Fs:2.96; x = cos(2*pi*t*1.24e3)+ cos(2*pi*t*10e3)+ randn(size(t)); nfft = 2^nextpow2(length(x)); Pxx = abs(fft(x,nfft)).
