INTRODUCTION

  • Fourier transform (FT) of a signal y(t) is defined as

FY (ω) =

−∞

y(t)e−jωtdt.

  • Since ω = 2πf , we may write FY (f ) =

−∞ y(t)e

−j 2 πf tdt.

Here, we assume

−∞ |y(t)|dt <^ ∞^ (for^ the^ Fourier^ transform^ to converge).

  • The inverse Fourier transform is given by

y(t) = F−^1 {FY (f )} =

−∞

Fy(f )ej^2 πf tdf =

2 π

−∞

Fy(f )ejωtdω.

POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY (PSD)

  • Since X(t) may have infinite energy for t ∈ (−∞, ∞), we define a finite window:

XT (t) =

X(t) −T < t < T 0 elsewhere , such that^

∫ T

−T |XT^ (t)|

(^2) dt < ∞.

We define FX (ω) =

∫ T

−T XT^ (t)e

−jωtdt, 0 < T < ∞.

  • Let us derive PSD and show that X^2 =

−∞ SX(f^ )df^.

  • Background: Parseval’s theorem: If f (t) and g(t) have the Fourier transforms F (ω) and G(ω), respectively, then ∫ (^) ∞

−∞

f (t)g(t)dt =

2 π

−∞

F (ω)G(−ω)dω.

DERIVATION OF PSD

Dividing both side by 2 T leads to 1 2 T

PSD AND AUTOCORRELATION FUNCTION

The PSD is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function RX (τ ).

SX (ω) =

Example (Ex 7-6.1) A stationary process has an autocorrelation function of the form RX (τ ) = 2e−|τ^ |^ + 4e−^4 |τ^ |. Find the PSD SX (ω).

Solution: F{R 1 (τ )} = S 1 (ω), F{R 1 (τ )} = S 2 (ω), ⇒F{R 1 (τ ) + R 2 (τ )} = S 1 (ω) + S 2 (ω).

(^2) + ω^4 +20ω^2 +64. Find^ RX^ (τ^ ).

Solution: Using partial fraction expansion leads to

SX (ω) = (^) ω (^216) +4 + (^) ω 2 −+16^8

⇐⇒RX (τ ) = 4e−^2 |τ^ |^ − e−^4 |τ^ |.
