Abstract
In chapter 6 we saw that the simple time domain averages — the mean, mean square and variance — do not provide any information about the frequency content of signals; also, they do not uniquely specify a particular signal, since many different signals may have the same mean or mean square value. The process of correlation overcomes the first of these limitations, but not the second.
