Consider a real random variable X with zero mean and variance σ2X . Suppose that wecannot directly observe X, but instead we can observe Yt := X + Wt, t ∈ [0, T ], where T > 0 and{Wt : t ∈ R} is a WSS process with zero mean and correlation function RW , uncorrelated with X.Further suppose that we use the following linear estimator to estimate X based on {Yt : t ∈ [0, T ]}:ˆXT =Z T0h(T − θ)Yθ dθ,i.e., we pass the process {Yt} through a causal LTI filter with impulse response h and sample theoutput at time T . We wish to design h to minimize the mean-squared error of the estimate.a. Use the orthogonality principle to write down a necessary and sufficient condition for theoptimal h.
