| Abstract English | The stochastic behavior of FM-clicks in an unmodulated carrier plus noise is studied in terms of the conditional behavior of stationary Gaussian processes after level crossings. By a systematic use of thc Slepian model processes it is shown that the normalized shape of a positive FM-click approaches a certain rational function with simple random coefficients as the carrier-to-noise ratio tends to infinity. The outcomes of this random function illustrate the typical click shapes that have been observed experimentally. The distribution of the duration of a click is studied by means of similar model processes, and its exact asymptotic density is derived. It is seen to be very similar to a Maxwell density, although of smaller order for large durations. |
