Abstract

A concise description of the correlation theory for cyclostationary random signals is given. It is based on a time-frequency cyclic correlation function and on a bifrequent spectral correlation function (SCF). The relations to conventional stationary correlation, Wigner distribution and spectrogram analysis are emphasized. The cyclic transfer properties of linear time-invariant and linear periodically time-variant systems are outlined. Simple examples give a feeling for performance and applications of spectral correlation measure- ment. The basic schemes of SCF estimation are mentioned briefly.
