Q: What does the autocorrelation function (ACF) primarily measure?

Similarity of a signal with a delayed copy of itself. — ACF identifies signal's self-similarity across different time lags.

Q: In the context of signal processing, what does a high cross-correlation value between two signals typically indicate?

The signals are highly similar, possibly with a time delay. — High cross-correlation suggests strong resemblance with a potential shift.

Q: Which of the following statements about the correlation coefficient is TRUE?

It provides a measure of linear dependence between two variables. — Correlation coefficients measure linear relationship between -1 and 1.

Q: What is the primary application of correlation in radar systems?

To detect and track targets by matching received echoes with a known waveform. — Correlation is used for signal matching and target detection.

Q: If the cross-correlation of two signals is zero at all time lags, what can you conclude about their relationship?

The signals are completely unrelated and statistically independent. — Zero cross-correlation indicates statistical independence, not any relationship.
