8.6 POWER SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION

In Chapter 3 on random variables, we defined the cdf FX(x) and pdf FX(x) for random variable X, which are related as follows:

(8.93) Numbered Display Equation

provided FX(x) is differentiable. In Chapter 5 on expectation and moments, we defined the expectation of function g(X) of random variable X as follows:

(8.94) Numbered Display Equation

which is a Riemann–Stieltjes integral with integrator FX(x). The cdf inline denotes a particular probability whereas FX(x) is a density function that is integrated in order to obtain a probability:

(8.95) Numbered Display Equation

The PSD is also a density function that is integrated to obtain the average power of wide-sense stationary process X(t). For example, the overall average power is

(8.96) Numbered Display Equation

and the average power in some frequency range inline is

(8.97) Numbered Display Equation

Similar to the cdf, we can describe a power ...
