Summary
Many properties of a signal are of interest, either as potential diagnostics or directly as the performance measure(s) of interest. The latter are discussed in the next chapter. In this chapter we looked at a number of waveform properties that may be useful to know for various reasons, such as the average level, average power, amplitude probability distribution, power spectral density, and delay or phase rotation. We described the procedures whereby the property of interest can be estimated. By and large, these procedures are straightforwardly implemented in simulation. Where applicable, we also developed the statistical properties of the estimators so as to provide the simulation user with the tradeoff between estimator reliability and computer run time.
