Abstract :
The product of a sinusoidal random process and an independent Rayleigh process is known to produce a Gaussian process. The corresponding relationship between the respective probability density functions can be expressed via the Mellin convolution, and this yields a new derivation, together with a physical interpretation, of an alternative form of the Gaussian probability function Q(x)
