Cross Correlation The cross-correlation function gives a measure of the extent to which two signals correlate with each other as a function of the time displacement between them.
- If the signals are identical, the cross correlation will be one, and if they are completely dissimilar, the cross correlation will be zero.
- The cross correlation
 of two functions fx(t) and fy(t)  - reduces to an autocorrelation when fx(t)=fy(t)
- Applications
- To determine to what extent a signal measured at one point originates from a particular source, and with what time delay.
- To detect the existence of a signal in extraneous noise.
