Part 4. 25 pts
Assume that $ \mathbf{X}(t) $ is a zero-mean continuous-time Gaussian white noise process with autocorrelation function
$ R_{\mathbf{XX}}(t_1,t_2)=\delta(t_1-t_2). $
Let $ \mathbf{Y}(t) $ be a new random process ontained by passing $ \mathbf{X}(t) $ through a linear time-invariant system with impulse response $ h(t) $ whose Fourier transform $ H(\omega) $ has the ideal low-pass characteristic
$ H(\omega) = \begin{cases} 1, & \mbox{if } |\omega|\leq\Omega,\\ 0, & \mbox{elsewhere,} \end{cases} $
where $ \Omega>0 $.
a) Find the mean of $ \mathbf{Y}(t) $.
b) Find the autocorrelation function of $ \mathbf{Y}(t) $.
c) Find the joint pdf of $ \mathbf{Y}(t_1) $ and $ \mathbf{Y}(t_2) $ for any two arbitrary sample time $ t_1 $ and $ t_2 $.
d) What is the minimum time difference $ t_1-t_2 $ such that $ \mathbf{Y}(t_1) $ and $ \mathbf{Y}(t_2) $ are statistically independent?
