and frequency domain analysis methods exist for analyzing a systems and
deterministic waveforms. But what about random waveforms? Is there some way to
describe random processes in the frequency domain? The answer is yes, and itis the
purpose of this unit to introduce the most important concepts that apply to
characterizing random processes in the frequency domain.
1._ Power Density Spectrum & Its Properties
The spectral properties of a deterministic signal x(t) are contained in its Fourier
transform X(a) given by
ables 5-2
XO)=fis0eRds oe @
The function X(@), sometimes called simply the spectrum of x(t), has the unit of
volts per hertz when x(t) is a voltage and describes the way in which relative signal
voltage is distributed with frequency. The Fourier transform can, therefore, be
considered to be a voltage density spectrum applicable to x(¢). Both the amplitudes
and the phases of the frequencies present in x(/) are described by X(o). For this
reason, if X(w) is known then x(t) can be recovered by means of the inverse Fourier
transform
10-2] x@emao
(ii)
In other words, X(@) forms a complete description of x(t) and vice versa.
In attempting to apply (i) to a random process, we immediately encounter
problems.
2. Other problems arise if Laplace transforms are considered,
On the other hand, if we turn. ow
attention to the description of the power in the
function does exist. This function is called th oes Seca ts tat mh

However, it is not the function that we seek, for two reasons. One is the fact that

step of letting T become arbitrarily large so as to include all power in the ensemble

processes are ag called baseband, Except for the fact that the area a (w)is ra
necessarily unity, Sy(@) has characteristics similar to a probability density function
(it is nonnegative and real). Indeed, by dividing S,,(w) by its area, a new function is
formed with area of unity that is analogous to a density function,
The analogous quantity for the normalized power spectrum is a measure of its
spread that we call rms bandwidth, which we denote W,, (rad/s). Now since Sye(.) is
an even function for a real process, its “mean value” is zero and its “standard
deviation” is the square root of its second moment. Thus, upon normalization, the rms
bandwidth is given by

The above concept is readily extended to a process that has a bandpass form of
power spectrum; that is, its significant spectral components cluster near some

In the above properties, Re[-] and Im[-] represent the real and imaginary parts,
respectively, and A[-] represents the time average.
Property 6 states that the cross-power density spectrum and the time average of
the cross-correlation function are a Fourier transform pair. For the case of jointly wide-
sense stationary processes, (xxi) and (xxii) reduce to the especially useful forms

which is valid for ~7'@ in the limit. Equation (vii) indicates that the cross-power spectrum and the
time-average cross-correlation function form a Fourier transform pair. The result
proves (i) because itis the direct transform part of the pair.
It should be noted from (vii) that given the cross-power spectrum, the cross-
correlation function cannot in general be recovered; only its time average can. For
jointly wide-sense stationary processes, however, the cross-correlation function R(t)
canbe found from S,,(«) since its time average is just Ryy(t) -

Let the cross-correlation function of two processes (i) and Y(0) be

where 4, Band @, are constants. Find the cross-power spectrum.
Given that, Ry(ttt+d = 2 fsintays)+c0s[a,(2r+9)}
