White noise & 1/f noise after a system h(t)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating the variance of output noise Y after passing input noise X through a system characterized by its impulse response h(t). The variance of Y is expressed as σy²=∫∫Rxx(u,v)h(u)h(v)dudv, with Rxx representing the autocorrelation function of X. For white noise, modeled by Rxx(τ)=σx²δ(τ), the resulting variance is σy²=σx²∫h²(u)du. Conversely, for 1/f noise, represented by Rxx(τ)=σx², the variance simplifies to σy²=σx²(∫h(u)du)².

Hi,

I am trying to solve this math equation on finding the variance of a noise after passing through a system whose impulse response is h(t)
X is the input noise of the system and Y is the output noise after system h(t)
if let's say variance of noise Y is
σy2=∫∫Rxx(u,v)h(u)h(v)dudv

where integration limits are from -∞ to +∞. Rxx is the autocorrelation function of noise X. Can you show that if Rxx (τ)=σx2 δ(τ) (models a white noise), then

σy2x2∫h2(u)du (integration limits are from -∞ to +∞)

and if Rxx (τ)=σx2 (models a 1/f noise), then

σy2x2(∫h(u)du)2 (integration limits are from -∞ to +∞)

I don't understand the math behind statistics that well
Thanks
