10 Intro. to Random Processes. A random process is a family of random variables – usually an infinite family; e.g., { X n , n=1,2,3,... }, { X n , n=0,1,2,... }, { X n , n=...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,... } or { X t , t ≥ 0 }, { X t , 0 ≤ t ≤ T }, { X t , -∞ < t < ∞ }.

10 Intro. to Random Processes • A random process is a family of random variables – usually an infinite family; e.g., • { Xn, n=1,2,3,... }, { Xn, n=0,1,2,... }, • { Xn, n=...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,... } • or • { Xt, t ≥ 0 }, { Xt, 0 ≤ t ≤ T }, { Xt, -∞ < t < ∞ }.
Recalling that a random variable is a function of the sample space Ω, note that Xn is really Xn(ω) and Xt is really Xt(ω). So, each time we change ω, the sequence of numbers Xn(ω) or the wave- form Xt(ω) changes... A particular sequence or waveform is called a realization, sample path, or sample function.
10.2 Characterization of Random Process • Mean function • Correlation function
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2)
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2) since
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2) since • RX(t,t) ≥ 0
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2) since • RX(t,t) ≥ 0 since
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2) since • RX(t,t) ≥ 0 since • Bound:
Properties of Correlation Fcns • symmetry: RX(t1,t2)=RX(t1,t2) since • RX(t,t) ≥ 0 since • Bound: follows by Cauchy-Schwarz inequality:
Second-Order Process • A process is second order if
Second-Order Process • A process is second order if • Such a process has finite mean by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality:
How It Works • You can interchange expectation and integration. If • then

Example 10.12 If then
Similarly, and then
SX(f) must be real and even: integral of odd function between symmetic limits is zero.
SX(f) must be real and even: This is an even function of f.
Recall What if Xt is WSS?
Recall What if Xt is WSS? Then which depends only on the time difference!
