Statistics for complex random variables revisited
Jan Eriksson, Esa Ollila, Visa Koivunen · 2009
Complex random signals play an increasingly important role in array, communications, and biomedical signal processing and related fields. However, the mathematical foundations of complex-valued signals and tools developed for handling them are scattered in literature. There appears to be a need for a concise, unified, and rigorous treatment of such topics. In this paper such a treatment is provided. Moreover, we establish connections between seemingly unrelated objects such as real differentiability and circularity. In addition, a novel complex-valued extension of Taylor series is presented and a measure for circularity is proposed.
