Dahleh 6 Periodograms Given: the Fourier transform is given by Discrete – Fourier Transform (DFT) Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 7 Inverse DFT Periodogram Nice Property: Parsaval’s equality Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 8 = energy contained in each frequency component. Properties: -periodicity -If is real Example: (consider Lecture 1 ) 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 9 Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 10 Example: (Why?) Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 11 This representation is valid over the whole interval [1,N] since u is periodic over N. Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 12 Passing through a filter Claim: Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 13 Proof: Note that: Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 14 Hence: Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 15 Stochastic Processes Definition: A stochastic process is a sequence of random variables with a joint pdf. Definition: = mean = Correlation / Covariance = Covariance Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 16 Traditional definitions: is Wide-sense stationary (WSS) if constant “This may be a limiting definition.” We will discuss shortly. Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 17 Common Framework for Deterministic and Stochastic Signals • A typical setup noise (stochastic) experiment (deterministic) output (mixed) (loose stationarity). Lecture 1 not 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh constant 18 • Consider signals with the following assumptions: and is called quasi-stationary • If is a stationary process, then it satisfies 1, 2 trivially. • If is a deterministic signal, then Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 19 • Example: Suppose has finite energy • In general: stochastic • deterministic Notation: quasi-stationary • Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 20 Power Spectrum Let be a quasi-stationary process. The power spectrum is defined as = Fourier transform of • Example: for Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 21 Recall ? • Result ; for any , quasi-stationary Convergence as a distribution Note: an erratic function well behaved function Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 22 Cross Spectrum Spectrum of mixed signals {zero means} Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 23 Spectrum of Filtered Signals Generation of a process with a given Covariance: O SISO If signal given then x is the output of a filter with a WN signal as an input. The Filter is the spectral factor of SISO stable minimum phase. Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 24 Important relations A model for noisy outputs: quasi-stationary constant. • • • Very Important relations in system ID. Correlation methods are central in identifying an unknown plant. Proofs: Messy; Straight forward. Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 25 Ergodicity • is a stochastic process Sample function or a realization • Sample mean Lecture 1 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A. Dahleh 26 • Sample Covariance • A process is 2nd-order ergodic if mean covariance • Sample averages Lecture 1 the sample mean of any realization. the sample covariance of any realization. Ensemble averages 6.435, System Identification Prof. Munther A.

Dahleh 28 w.p.1 w.p.1 w.p.1 Remark: Most of our computations will depend on a given realization of a quasi-stationary process. Ergodicity will allow us to make statements about repeated experiments.
