The Wiener-Khinchin Theorem for Non-wide Sense stationary Random Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the Wiener-Khinchin theorem to nonwide sense stationary (WSS) random processes, i.e. we prove that, under certain assumptions, the power spectral density (PSD) of any random process is equal to the Fourier transform of the time-averaged autocorrelation function. We use the theorem to show that bandlimitedness of the PSD implies bandlimitedness of the generalized-PSD for a certain class of non-WSS signals. This fact allows us to apply the Nyquist criterion derived by Gardner for the generalized-PSD.

Resampled random processes in gravitational-wave data analysis
The detection of continuous gravitational-wave signals requires to account for the motion of the detector with respect to the solar system barycenter in the data analysis. In order to search efficiently for such signals by means of the fast Fourier transform the data needs to be transformed from the topocentric time to the barycentric time by means of resampling. The resampled data form a non-s...
متن کاملLocal Constraints Satisfied by Realizable Correlation Functions
The Wiener-Khintchine theorem dictates that the correlation function of any stationary, stochastic signal y(t) has as its Fourier transform a function that is necessarily both real and non-negative. In this paper, I explore the real-space, geometric consequences of this reciprocal-space non-negativity constraint. I review prior results addressing this issue, and I also introduce a family of new...
متن کاملAging Wiener-Khinchin theorem and critical exponents of 1/f^{β} noise.
The power spectrum of a stationary process may be calculated in terms of the autocorrelation function using the Wiener-Khinchin theorem. We here generalize the Wiener-Khinchin theorem for nonstationary processes and introduce a time-dependent power spectrum 〈S_{t_{m}}(ω)〉 where t_{m} is the measurement time. For processes with an aging autocorrelation function of the form 〈I(t)I(t+τ)〉=t^{Υ}ϕ_{E...
متن کاملThe Uniform Mean-Square Ergodic Theorem for Wide Sense Stationary Processes
It is shown that the uniform mean-square ergodic theorem holds for the family of wide sense stationary sequences, as soon as the random process with orthogonal increments, which corresponds to the orthogonal stochastic measure generated by means of the spectral representation theorem, is of bounded variation and uniformly continuous at zero in a mean-square sense. The converse statement is also...
متن کاملTowards quantifying droplet clustering in clouds
Droplet positions in atmospheric clouds are random but possibly correlated on some scales. This ‘clustering’ must be quanti ed in order to account for it in theories of cloud evolution and radiative transfer. Tools as varied as droplet concentratio n power spectrum, Fishing test, and fractal correlation analysis have been used to describe the small-scale nature of clouds, and it has been dif ...
