What is cross-correlation function?

The cross correlation function between two different signals is defined as the measure of similarity or coherence between one signal and the time delayed version of another signal. The cross correlation function is defined separately for energy (or aperiodic) signals and power or periodic signals.

What is cross-correlation formula?

Cross-correlation between X_i and X_j is defined by the ratio of covariance to root-mean variance, ρ i , j = γ i , j σ i 2 σ j 2 . Sample covariance is found from. γ ^ i , j = 1 N ∑ t = 1 N [ ( X i t − X ¯ i ) ( X j t − X ¯ j ) ] . Similarly, sample cross-correlation is defined by the ratio.

What is meant by correlation function?

A correlation function is a function that gives the statistical correlation between random variables, contingent on the spatial or temporal distance between those variables.

What is cross-correlation of two signals?

Correlation of two signals is the convolution between one signal with the functional inverse version of the other signal. The resultant signal is called the cross-correlation of the two input signals. The amplitude of cross-correlation signal is a measure of how much the received signal resembles the target signal.
