Note also that the correlation function is a convolution, hence its spectrum is the product of the spectra of ''X'' and ''Y'', so that γ<sub>XY</sub> 'inherits' the spectral properties of the original time series. | The cross phase ''φ'' can be determined from the delay ''Δt'' of the maxima of the cross correlation γ (modulo 2π): ''φ = -Δt<sub>max</sub>/ω''. In the presence of noise, ''γ(Δt)'' will decay as a function of ''Δt'', typically exponentially. | ||
