Average of the power spectrum of Poisson noise

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The average value of the power spectrum of Poisson noise can be determined using the Fourier energy theorem, also known as Plancherel's or Parseval's theorem. This theorem establishes a relationship between the time domain and frequency domain representations of signals. In the context of Poisson noise, applying this theorem allows for the calculation of the average power spectrum effectively. Understanding this relationship is crucial for analyzing signals affected by Poisson noise.

TL;DR
Poisson distribution
I am learning about noise that follows a Poisson distribution. When I do a Fourier transform of the data with only Poisson noise to get the power spectrum, what is the average value of the power spectrum?

You can find it by using the Fourier energy theorem (often called Plancherel's or Parseval's theorem).
