Consider a signal ๐‘ฅ(๐‘ก) with autocorrelation function ๐‘…๐‘ฅ๐‘ฅ(๐œ). If ๐‘…๐‘ฅ๐‘ฅ(๐œ) is even-symmetric around ๐œ=0, what can be inferred about the signal ๐‘ฅ(๐‘ก)?

Solution

If the autocorrelation function ๐‘…๐‘ฅ๐‘ฅ(๐œ) of a signal ๐‘ฅ(๐‘ก) is even-symmetric around ๐œ=0, it implies that the signal ๐‘ฅ(๐‘ก) is real and not complex. This is because the autocorrelation function of a real signal is always even-symmetric. In other words, the signal's autocorrelation function has mirror symmetry around the vertical axis (๐œ=0). This property is a consequence of the conjugate symmetry property of the Fourier transform for real-valued signals.
