In this article, we review known results and present new ones
concerning the power spectra of large classes of signals and
random fields driven by an underlying point process, such as
spatial shot noises (with random impulse response and arbitrary
basic stationary point processes described by their Bartlett
spectra) and signals or fields sampled at random times or points
(where the sampling point process is again quite general). We also
obtain the Bartlett spectrum for the general linear Hawkes spatial
branching point process (with random fertility rate and general
immigrant process described by its Bartlett spectrum). We then
obtain the Bochner spectra of general spatial linear birth and
death processes. Finally, we address the issues of random sampling
and linear reconstruction of a signal from its random samples,
reviewing and extending former results.
