%X This paper derives a mathematical description of the complex stretch processor¡¯s response to bandlimited Gaussian noise having arbitrary center frequency and bandwidth. The description of the complex stretch processor¡¯s random output comprises highly accurate closed-form approximations for the probability density function and the autocorrelation function. The solution supports the complex stretch processor¡¯s usage of any conventional range-sidelobe-reduction window. The paper then identifies two practical applications of the derived description. Digital-simulation results for the two identified applications, assuming the complex stretch processor uses the rectangular, Hamming, Blackman, or Kaiser window, verify the derivation¡¯s correctness through favorable comparison to the theoretically predicted behavior.
