Question. FFT and Random Processes

Started by Bamse October 22, 2004
Let the mean of the random proces x(t) be a constant
Let the mean of the random proces y(t) be a constant
Let the variance of the random proces x(t) be a constant
Let the variance of the random proces y(t) be a constant
Let x(t) be independent of y(t)

Let F be the discrete fourier transform

Is the mean and variance of F[x(t)] and F[x(t)] still a constant ?

Is F[x(t)] independent of F[y(t)] ??

Read your textbok very carefully and you'll find the answers to your questions. [-Rick-]
But don't waste any of your money on the Rick Lyons'
textbooks because his attitude is anti those who
wish to learn, as demonstrated below?

..or those who wish to cheat when others do the work. This is obviously some kind of homework problem, so I'd say Rick is right not to answer it. -- Stephan M. Bernsee http://www.dspdimension.com
I don't agree - if Mr.Lyons wishes to make a name for himself as
a text-book author (which also implies him being an effective teacher)
there are better ways to tease out from someone what it is that
they don't understand and to lead them to the knowledge that
they seek, without sneering at them.

DSP is an essentially mathematical, and therefore abstract,
pursuit, and you won't educate people to whom you are
aggressive - you need to be in a suitably relaxed frame of
mind to take on abstract concepts.

As he has presented himself, Mr.Lyons seems to owe more to
what I term the pompous way of writing text books which has
such ego-tripping comments such as , "left as an exercise to
the reader", or, "it is obvious that....."

Airy, when you've written your own textbook, we might pay
closer attention to your objections. For now, I'll keep my
bets on Rick.

as a matter of a fact it is not a homework assignment.

it is an honest question that I have a hard time answering myself, so I turn 
to this newsgroup in hope that somebody more wise than me can help me...

whereas your attitude is anti-everybody except Airy R. Bean, or whatever you think your name is this week. ...(_!_)...
If you choose to base your conclusions on the fact that
text books have been written irrespective of whether those
text books are correct, then more fool you.

In which case, could you expand your questions a little more
and I'll certainly try to help you.

I have found this NG as a whole to be somewhat immature
in their attitudes towards those who seek the truth about DSP
rather than accepting religious beliefs that are founded
upon unsound mathematics.

Like all religious loonies, when you question their beliefs, they
become emotive and insulting in their manners.
