Question: (a) Show that for shot noise, y(t) = i F(t t i ), the spectral density S y (f ) is given by

(a) Show that for shot noise, y(t) = ∑i F(t − ti), the spectral density Sy(f ) is given by Eq. (6.68b). Show that the relaxation time appearing in the correlation function is approximately the duration τp of F(t).


(b) Suppose the shapes of Fj (t − tj) are all different instead of being identical but all last for times
