[10/0%]Why is the assumption that is zero outside the interval important in (8.21)?
Context restated from the book's Section 8.3.3 (Theorem 8.4): let be a narrow-banded stationary Gaussian process with mean 0 and a spectral density symmetric around ,
where is an even function that is zero outside the interval , with . Let be the Hilbert transform of , and let , be the independent Gaussian processes, each with spectral density , obtained from the complex representation . Equation (8.21) is the resulting cross-covariance function,
which is used to show that and are uncorrelated (hence independent, being jointly Gaussian).
A stationary sequence has expectation zero and covariance function,
The process is disturbed by colored noise with covariance function,
The process and the disturbance are independent. Determine the frequency function , , and the impulse response , , for the optimal Wiener filter that minimizes when is the output signal from the filter with as input signal.
Suppose that we want to measure the temperature, , in a manufacturing process. Since the measurements are corrupted by additive noise, , independent of the temperature, we reconstruct the true temperature with an optimal filter. Assuming and , find the covariance function of the output signal, .
Suppose we want to transmit a bandlimited stochastic signal, , on a channel disturbed by flicker noise. The spectral density of the signal is
and that of the flicker noise is up to high frequencies.
Design an optimal noise reducing filter. Make a plot of the frequency response and compute the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
The following transfer function is not optimal,
Compute the SNR of the output signal with this filter.
An AR(2)-process has a covariance function, estimated to , , and . Determine from these values, the parameters for the AR-process, and find the frequency function (in real-valued form) for a Wiener filter which in the best way reconstructs from the measured signal , when is white noise with expected value 0 and variance 1. Assume that and are independent.
A deterministic signal, , is corrupted by additive white noise with spectral density . The signal is defined by
The signal and the noise is processed by a linear optimal filter. We read the output of this filter at time . The filter has the property that the SNR is maximized at .
Determine the filter and the maximal SNR.
The filter used in (a) is non-causal. Make a small adjustment in order to change this, and compute the new SNR.
How large must be, in order for the SNR to be larger than 99 of the maximum SNR?
A sender transmits binary characters to a receiver in a digital communication system. The signal, , see Figure 8.11, is used by the sender to represent a binary one and the absence of this signal is used to represent zero. We model the received signal, , by
where is Gaussian noise with spectral density . Determine the impulse response of a matched causal filter and compute the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of the output signal.
The signal, s(t) in Exercise 8:7.
A deterministic signal, , in discrete time, is given by
We would like to determine whether this signal has been sent or not, when one receives the signal if the signal was sent and if it was not. We assume that is standardized white Gaussian noise.
We use a filter, defined by its impulse response:
and choose the decision time . If the output of the filter is larger than 1 at we consider the signal to be present. What is the probability that we erroneously believe that the signal has been sent?
The filter used in (a) is not optimal. Design an optimal causal filter and specify the time of decision and the threshold level of the discriminator such that the probabilities of the two possible errors are equal. What is the probability of an error?
A weakly stationary process has mean zero and covariance function,
The process is disturbed by colored noise with expected value zero and covariance function
The process and the disturbance are independent. In communication systems it is quite usual with echo, i.e., you have a signal according to
where is the damped and delayed original process realization. Determine the coefficients for the non-causal impulse response
for an optimal filter that minimizes , when is the output signal and is the input signal to the optimal filter.
