Spectrum of the autocorrelation function







        Definition of Cross-correlation function




                                   () = ∫ () ( − ) 
                                     



        In effect, comparing the signal () with ().



        If there are common frequency components in both of

        them then  () will be finite.
                               


                                                 A rotating machine with two


                                                 bearings, accelerometers attached

                                                 to both bearings (as seen on the


                                                 left).


                                                 You may want to see the vibrations


        which are common to both bearings.
