(Note that this is NOT the definition of ergodicity but the property!) M1η(t ) = x(t , S)∑0 0Ensemble average: M s =1− The average value of M sample at a give time t . 0− Dependent on t . 0− Natural way to estimate η(t ). 0T1lim x(t, S)dt∫Time average: T → ∞ 2T −T− The average value in a long enough period for a specified outcome S. − Dependent on the outcomes S ⇒ Different S should have different time average. − If the process is stationary and E[|x(t, s)|] is finite, then the limit should exist for almost every S. Tutorial 6 [1/5] ELE3410 Random Process and DSP Definition: A random process x(t) is said to be ergodic if all its statistics can be determined from a single of the process. (Compare the difference among Ergodic, Stationary and Statistically Determined.) thThat means: The n -order pdf of the process can be deduced by examining either: 1) one member of the process over a long time, or 2) x(t ), …, x(t ), the process at t , …, t many times. 1 n 1 n x(t) = cos( ϖ ⋅ t + θ )Example 1) if , where θ is a random variable uniformly distributed in [- π, π], is said to be ergodic, show that its time average and its ensemble average are equal. Solution: M1η(t ) = x(t , S)∑0 ...
