Find the expectation of a complex random variable.

41 Views Asked by At

Assume Z is a standard complex normally distributed random variable(i.e. $ Z \sim N_{C}(0,1) $).How to calculate the expectation of $ Z^k\cdot\bar{Z^l} $(i.e. $ E[Z^k\cdot\bar{Z^l}] $)where $ \bar{Z} $ is the conjugate of $Z$. I think I have to calculate a complex integral by making use of polar transformation.However,I still find it difficult.
