Simplifying assumptions:
 R(t) : consists of many pulses randomly distributed
𝑘
𝑅 𝑡 =
𝜖𝑖 𝑓 𝑡 − 𝑡𝑖
𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑡1 ) 𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑡2 )
𝑖=1
𝑓(𝑡) : shape of a single pulse
𝜖3 = −1
𝜖1 = 1
𝜖2 = 1
𝜖𝑖 = ±1 : random sign
−𝑓(𝑡 − 𝑡3 )
 Distribution of pulses = Poisson distribution
𝜇 : number of pulses per unit time, ∼ 1/𝑡mfp
23
 2-pt func
𝑅 𝑡 𝑅 0
 Low-freq. 4-pt func
