Correlation Theorem



Theorem: For all $ x,y\in\mathbb{C}^N$ ,

$\displaystyle \zbox {x\star y \;\longleftrightarrow\;\overline{X}\cdot Y}
$

where the correlation operation `$ \star$ ' was defined in §7.2.5.



Proof:

\begin{eqnarray*}
(x\star y)_n
&\isdef & \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}\overline{x(m)}y(n+m) \\
&=& \sum_{m=0}^{N-1}\overline{x(-m)}y(n-m) \qquad (m\leftarrow -m)\\
&=& \left(\hbox{\sc Flip}(\overline{x})\circledast y\right)_n \\
&\;\longleftrightarrow\;& \overline{X} \cdot Y
\end{eqnarray*}

The last step follows from the convolution theorem and the result $ \hbox{\sc Flip}(\overline{x}) \leftrightarrow \overline{X}$ from §7.4.2. Also, the summation range in the second line is equivalent to the range $ [N-1,0]$ because all indexing is modulo $ N$ .
