Summary: Let $U$ be a bounded invertible linear mapping of the Hilbert space ${\frak K} $ onto itself. Let ${\cal W} = \{(U^{j})^{*}U^{j}\}_{j=-\infty }^{\infty }$, and denote by $\ell^{2}({\cal W})$ the corresponding weighted Hilbert space. Our main result shows that the right bilateral shift ${\cal R}$ on $\ell^{2}({\cal W})$ serves as a model for spectral decomposability of $U$. Further aspects of this for multiplier transference are treated, and lead to an example wherein the discrete Hilbert kernel defines a bounded convolution operator on $\ell^{2}({\cal W}^{(0)})$, but the analogues of the classical Marcinkiewicz Multiplier Theorem and the classical Littlewood-Paley Theorem fail to hold for $\ell ^{2}({\cal W}^{(0)}).$

Keywords: Operator, Hilbert space, spectral family, operator-valued weight sequence, shift
