Question: Consider the following sinusoidal carrier wave, X ( t ) , with a carrier frequency of fc and a carrier phase ( t ) :

Consider the following sinusoidal carrier wave, X(t), with a carrier frequency of fc and a carrier phase (t): X(t)= cos(2fct +(t)) The phase of this carrier is altered or modulated to encode a stream of binary data to be transmitted. Assume that the data stream is an I.I.D sequence of RVs that are distributed Bernoulli(p). Consider the n th bit (bn in {0,1}) in the stream of binary data is assigned to /2 with probability p and /2 with probability (1 p): [n]= 2 Inth bit is 1 2 Inth bit is not 1 The carrier wave applies this modulated phase associated with each bit of the data stream for T seconds, which is some multiple of the period of the carrier frequency fc.(t)= [n] It in [nT ,(n+1)T)-2-101200.0020.0040.0060.0080.010.0120.0140.01600.0020.0040.0060.0080.010.0120.0140.016-1-0.500.51 Clearly X(t) is a random process and we want to answer the following questions: (a)(8 points) What is the mean function of the sinusoidal carrier wave? For notational simplicity one can define c =2fc SOLUTION (b)(16 points) What is the auto-covariance of the sinusoidal carrier wave?
