Random Telegraph signal

Consider a two-state random process with the states and

Suppose and and changes polarity with an equal probability with each occurrence of an event in a Poisson process with parameter .

Such a random process is called a random telegraph signal and can be expressed as

          

where is the semirandom telegraph signal and is a random variable independent of

with and
