There are various cases in physics and engineering sciences (specially communications) where one requires the envelope PDF of the sum of several random sinusoidal signals. According to the correspondence between a random sinusoidal signal and a random vector, sum of random vectors can be considered as an abstract mathematical model for the above sum. Now it is desired to obtain the PDF of the length of the resulting vector. Considering the common and reasonable assumption of uniform distributions for the angles of vectors, many researchers have obtained the PDF of the length of the resulting vector only for special cases. However in this paper, the PDF is obtained for the most general case in which the lengths of vectors are arbitrary dependent random variables. This PDF is in the form of a definite integral, which may be inappropriate for analytic manipulations and numerical computations. So an appropriate infinite Laguerre expansion is also derived. Finally, the results are applied to solve a typical example in computing the scattering cross section of random scatterers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
