ECE 603 Final Exam - Probability and Random Processes, Fall 2009, Exams of Probability and Statistics

The final exam for the ece 603 - probability and random processes course, which was offered at the university of texas at austin in fall 2009. The exam consists of five problems covering various topics related to probability and random processes, such as fourier transforms, parseval's relation, and joint probability density functions. Students were allowed to bring three pages of notes and the exam was closed book. The document also includes some potentially useful information and instructions for the exam takers.

ECE 603 - Probability and Random Processes, Fall 2009
Final Exam
December 15th, 10:30am-12:30pm, LGRT 0321
Overview
The exam consists of five problems for 110 points. The points for each part of each problem are given
in brackets - you should spend your two hours accordingly.
The exam is closed book, but you are allowed three page-sides of notes. Calculators are not allowed.
I will provide all necessary blank paper.
Testmanship
Full credit will be given only to fully justified answers.
Giving the steps along the way to the answer will not only earn full credit but also maximize the
partial credit should you stumble or get stuck. If you get stuck, attempt to neatly define your approach
to the problem and why you are stuck.
If part of a problem depends on a previous part that you are unable to solve, explain the method for
doing the current part, and, if possible, give the answer in terms of the quantities of the previous part
that you are unable to obtain.
Start each problem on a new page. Not only will this facilitate grading but also make it easier for you
to jump back and forth between problems.
If you get to the end of the problem and realize that your answer mustbe wrong, be sure to write “this
must be wrong because . .. so that I will know you recognized such a fact.
Academic dishonesty will be dealt with harshly - the minimum penalty will be an “F” for the course.

Overview

The exam consists of five problems for 110 points. The points for each part of each problem are given

in brackets - you should spend your two hours accordingly.

The exam is closed book, but you are allowed three page-sides of notes. Calculators are not allowed.

I will provide all necessary blank paper.

Testmanship

Full credit will be given only to fully justified answers.

Giving the steps along the way to the answer will not only earn full credit but also maximize the

partial credit should you stumble or get stuck. If you get stuck, attempt to neatly define your approach

to the problem and why you are stuck.

If part of a problem depends on a previous part that you are unable to solve, explain the method for

doing the current part, and, if possible, give the answer in terms of the quantities of the previous part

that you are unable to obtain.

Start each problem on a new page. Not only will this facilitate grading but also make it easier for you

to jump back and forth between problems.

If you get to the end of the problem and realize that your answer must be wrong, be sure to write “this

must be wrong because... ” so that I will know you recognized such a fact.

Useful Facts:

  1. A random variable is jointly Gaussian with itself.
  2. If =

b

=

b

=ml^

b =on (^) are jointly Gaussian random variables, each with zero mean, then:

p 4 = = =ml=on^ 6 q^

p 4

p 4 (^) =ml)=on 6 (^) 

p 4 = =ml 6

p 4 = =on (^6) 

p 4 = =on 64 = =ml 6

  1. Let 

E9e be a Gaussian random process with zero-mean and autocorrelation function
