2. The rms amplitude of any signal y (t) is defined as yrms = σy = y (t) 2.
3. The power σx2 of the mixed signal x (t) is composed of the power of the sinusoidal one σ02 = [x0 sin (ω0 t)] 2 = x02 2 and the power of the quasimonochromatic signal σ2 = A (t) 2 sin [ω0 t+(t)] 2 = 1 2 A (t) 2 and can be expressed as σx2 = σ02 + σ2.

6. The phase coordinate φ is defined in the interval [-π,π).
7. The variance of the phase can be calculated by using the probability density of the phase distribution σφ2 = -π π P (φ) φ2 dφ. The standard deviation or the root-mean-square value is σφ.
