Hi I am plotting the PSD using Wiener-Khintchin theorem (1). I recall from my signal processing course the the fourier transform is periodic with peroiod of 2 pi. Should the PSD be periodic since the wiener-khintchin theroem is essentialy a fourier transform? What should the perido be in general? PSD(f)=4*Integral[cos(2*pi*f*t)*Autocorrelation from -inf, +inf] (1) thanks!!

The Fourier Transform is not in general periodic. The Fourier transform of uniform sampled discrete time wave forms is periodic.> > thanks!!

I am samplying a stochastic electric current every dt seconds...does that constitute what u call a "uniform sampled time wave"? thanks
