A bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space is called to be hyponormal if and only if . We study the operator for an invertible hyponormal operator and show that (i) is doubly power bounded, that is , so it is similar to unitary (on a Hilbert space ) [5] and hence is a spectral operator of scalar type. (ii) For each disjoint Borel sets such as can be decomposed to the sum of hyponormal operators where is a spectral measure of with . In particular, if (positive, invertible) then is similar to a unitary operator on the same Hilbert space . (iii) If is self-adjoint, i.e., it is an orthogonal projection, then is a reducing subspace of . (iv) If is an isolated point of then is an eigenvalue of and is self-adjoint with . (v) An inequality of Putnam type for and (vi) If both and are positive invertible then has a spectral decomposition
where is unitary similar to and is its spectral decomposition.
