Abstract

We consider the problem of the distinguishability between Gaussian processes observed through non-linear systems. For a broad class 𝒜 of zero-memory time-dependent non-linear transformations, the following uniqueness relationship is obtained. If Xi, i = 1, 2 are two normalized jointly Gaussian processes, then they are indistinguishable if and only if their transformed processes Yi = A[Xi], i = 1, 2, A ∈ 𝒜, are indistinguishable. Some interesting examples of functions in 𝒜 are presented.
