Question: Let the real-valued random process U ( t ) U ( t ) be defined by U ( t ) = A cos ( 2

Let the real-valued random process U(t) be defined by

U(t)=Acos(2πvtΦ)

where v is a known constant, Φ is a random variable uniformly distributed on (π,π),A is a random variable that takes on the values 1 and 2 with equal probabilities of 1/2, and A and Φ are statistically independent.

(a) Calculate the time average (u(t)) for a sample function with amplitude 1 and a sample function with amplitude 2.

(b) Calculate u2¯.

(c) Show that
where Extra \left or missing \right and Extra \left or missing \right are the results of part (a) for amplitudes of 1 and 2 , respectively.
