Rando Process Review Consider a rando process t, and take k saples. For siplicity, we will set k. However it should ean any nuber of saples. t () t x t, t, t We have a rando vector t, t, t. If we find the joint pdf of, f f ( x, x, x ) t t t then we know everything about the rando process t. Stationary rando processes o show t is stationary, we ust show the tie-shift invariance, that is, for any, ft, t, t ( x, x, x) ft, t, t ( x, x, x). ypically we will show that by expanding the joint pdf, ft, t, t ( x, x, x) ft ( x) ft, t t ( x, x x) f t ( x) f ( x x) f, ( x x, x) t t t t t and show all three ters are tie-shift invariant f t ( x ) does not depend on t. f ( x x) depends on t t t t f, ( x x, x) depends on tt and/or t t t t t Recall that the rando telegraph signal satisfies these conditions.

Weighted Su of Gaussian Rando Variables Let be a Gaussian rando vector and define Y as a transforation of Y A b where di k, A is a kk atrix, and b is a k-diesional constant vector. hen Y is also a Gaussian rando vector, and Y Hoework and Y A b Λ AΛ A Suppose,, is a -di Gausssian rando vector.

6 Gaussian Rando Process ( t) is referred to as a Gaussian rando process if t, t, t is a Gaussian rando vector for any sapling instants t, t, t. Wide-sense Stationary Gaussian Rando Process t is a wide-sense stationary Gaussian rando process =,, if t, t, t is a Gaussian rando vector with and C t t C t t Λ C t t C t t C t t C t t for any sapling instants t, t, t. A wide-sense staionary Gaussian rando process is a staionary Gaussian rando process. Recall the MD centra liit theore. When the donor process is WSS, the su process is a stationary Gaussian rando process. he two have the sae covariance atrix. Gaussian Input/Output he output of an LI filter is a Gaussian rando process when the input is Gaussian. Wide-Sense Stationary Input/Output he output of a LI filter is a WSS rando process when the input is WSS.
