We measure the clustering of quasars of the final data release (DR16) of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). The sample contains $343\,708$ quasars between redshifts $0.8\leq z \leq 2.2$ and covers $4699\,\mathrm{deg}^2$. We calculate the even Legendre multipoles (up to $\ell=4$) of the anisotropic power spectrum at the effective redshift $z_{\rm eff}=1.480$ and perform a BAO and a Full-Shape (FS) analysis. For both measurements, the errors quoted are dominated by statistics and include systematic errors that amounts to one third of the statistical error. For the BAO analysis, we measure the transverse comoving distance $\dmr{} = 30.60\pm{0.90}$ and the Hubble distance $\dhr{} = 13.34\pm{0.60}$. This measurement is in agreement with the analysis performed in configuration space and the consensus analysis yields: $\dmr{} = 30.69\pm{0.80}$ and $\dhr{} = 13.26\pm{0.55}$. In the FS analysis, we fit the power spectrum in the range $k=[0.02,0.30]\hMpc{}$ using a model based on Regularised Perturbation Theory, that includes Redshift Space Distorsions (RSD) and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. The results for this analysis are $\dmr{} = 30.68\pm{0.90}$ and $\dhr{} = 13.52\pm{0.51}$ and we constrain the linear growth rate of structure $\fse{} = 0.476\pm{0.047}$. Our results are in agreement with the configuration space analysis. The consensus analysis of the eBOSS quasar sample yields: $\dmr{} = 30.21\pm{0.79}$, $\dhr{} = 13.23\pm{0.47}$ and $\fse{} = 0.462\pm{0.045}$ and is in agreement with a flat $\Lambda {\rm CDM}$ cosmological model using Planck results.
