- My rusty memory recalls: "the autocorrelation function is the inverse
- Fourier transform of a signal's power spectrum." (instructor's name
- withheld, in case my memory has grossly lapsed. That's _rusty_, NOT
- _trusty_[8*>.)
-
- Press, et al (_Numerical Recipes in C_, Cambridge, 1990), section 12.5
- (pp. 432, ff) discuss this with regard to the FFT. Note that auto-
- correlation is simply the cross-correlation of a function with itself.
-
- Press, et al, present an example program which appears as correl.c in
- their c disk set. I understand that the Pascal versions of NR's
- examples are available on Simtel20 mirrors, but I do not know under
- which directory. The example programs and test drivers to demonstrate
- them are available in magnetic form from the publisher: Customer Services
- Department, Cambridge University Press, Edinburgh Building, Shaftesbury
- Road, Cambridge cb2 2RU, U.K. Prices vary with medium and operating
- system.

-
- Presumably, in Pascal. If you don't get a pointer, ask comp.lang.pascal.
