The instructions and questions for the midterm exam of the ece 534: random processes course at the university of illinois at urbana-champaign, held in fall 2006. The exam covers topics such as l'hospital's rule, poisson random variables, independent increments processes, martingales, autocorrelation functions, and the distribution of random processes. Students are allowed to bring notes and must show their work.

The following properties might be useful for you throughout the duration
of the exam:
f (t) and lim t→∞
f (t) are both 0 or ∞, and
if

b) Is X λ
an independent increments process?
c) Is X λ
a martingale?
Let us now define the new random process
λ,∆
λ,∆
(t) : t ≥ ∆) with
parameter ∆, given by
λ,∆
(t) =
λ
(t, t − ∆).
d) Calculate the autocorrelation function of the process X λ
as well as for
the process
Xλ,∆. Is Xλ WSS? Is
Xλ,∆ WSS?
f) What kind of process X have we constructed in part e)? Explain.
