AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the autocorrelation of the output Y(t) from a wide-sense stationary random process (WSS RP) modulated by a carrier cos(w0t + Θ). The user has successfully determined the autocorrelation of the carrier but is uncertain about the next steps. They express frustration over the inability to derive the random process directly from its autocorrelation. Suggestions and hints are requested to guide them through the problem. The complexity of the question indicates it may be better suited for the Homework Help forums while still allowing for helpful responses.

I am given the autocorrelation of a wss rp which modulates a carrier cos( w0 t + \Theta ). I am to find the autocorrelation of the output Y(t).
I have found the autocorrelation of the carrier and I'm not sure what to do next.
If it were possible to get the rp from its autocorrelation, it would have been straight forward but now, i don't know what to do.
Any valuable suggestions?
Thanks

This is a homework/coursework question, so it should be moved to the Homework Help forums. But it's a complicated enough question that I'd like to leave it here for now. But the HH rules should still apply, so please only reply with hints and suggestions as the OP is asking for. Thanks.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
