How can we prove that Spectral density of In-Phase component and Quad-Phase component of a sample function of narrow-band noise have same definition?
Suppose we have a narrow-band noise $N(t)$. We analyse this to In-Phase and Quad phase components by the equation:
$$N(t) = N_I(t) \cos(2\pi f_c t) - N_Q(t) \sin(2\pi f_c t)$$
Now a book (by Simon ...
