Clearly the real part P is symmetric and the imaginary part Q is antisymmetric.
Note that the individual terms

limited information about correlations. Suppose the real and imaginary parts
are related such that

That is, the real and imaginary parts have identical autocorrelation, and fur-
thermore, the cross correlation between them is antisymmetric. We then say
that the complex random vector is circularly symmetric . Such complex random
vectors arise frequently in digital communication models. For such vectors, R xx
indeed contains all information about correlation components.
6.6.1 Properties of circularly symmetric random vectors
Equations (6.35) and (6.36) are the defining equations for circular symmetry of
a complex random vector. In what follows we will first show that this property
can be restated in a number of other ways.
1. Symmetry in correlation. Given the complex random vector x = x re + j x im ,
define the real vector
u = x re
x im
.

The autocorrelation of u is

R uu =

E [ x im x
E [ x im x
and contains all the individual information listed in Eq. (6.34). It is clear
that this reduces to the form
R uu =0 . 5 P Q
QP
(6 . 40)
if and only if both Eq. (6.35) and (6.36) are true. So Eq. (6.40) is often
used as an equivalent definition for circular symmetry [Telatar, 1999].
