The periodicity is a feature of science and engineering phenomena
so detecting periodicity from complex and noise-included samples and measuring its parameters are important topics in signal processing.Spectral correlation is a useful tool to find second-order periodicity of cyclostationary signals.This paper investigates the reasons
procedures and features using spectral correlation to analyze cyclicity.First
internal relations between main definitions in spectral correlation theory are summarized and mathematic diagrams reflecting their transforming or mapping relations are built.Then a method to calculate spectral correlation based on the diagrams is proposed.By analysis of single periodic signals and connections between periods and results in each operation
