Signal analysis – Cross-correlation function
Sample problems
1. What should be the relationship between max. correlation distance and signal duration
ensuring the accurate estimation of correlation function?
2. What is the unit of the cross-correlation function and what is the range of values it may take ?
3. What is the unit of the normalized cross-covariance function and what is the range of values
it may take?
4. Can the correlation function be periodic ? If so, when ?
5. Describe (by drawing or in written form) the distribution of the cross-covariance function of
two sine waves of the same frequency, shifted by phase angle 90. Indicate the
relationships between signals parameters and correlation function.
6. Where (at which correlation distance) is the cross-correlation function maximum located ?
What level does the maximum take ?
7. Having known the distribution of cross-correlation function describe the signals, i.e. provide
their compositions and parameters (if possible).
