“…While it was first noted in [1], [2] that wide-sense stationary (WSS) random signals exhibit circularly distributed Fourier transforms, the existence of noncircularly distributed counterparts was not considered until the seminal work in [3]. Thereafter, a class of general complex time-frequency representations (TFRs) was proposed in [4], which has motivated various developments of complex-valued spectral analysis techniques for modelling real-valued nonstationary random signals [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. These methods employ augmented complex statistics [15], which provide a complete second-order statistical description of a general complex random variable, x ∈ C, by incorporating the standard Hermitian variance, E |x| 2 ∈ R, which parametrizes the scale of a pdf, in conjunction with the pseudovariance, E x 2 ∈ C, which parametrizes the eccentricity and angle of an elliptical pdf in the complex plane [16].…”
