The zero means of both amplitudes give . Their unit variances and zero covariance give, for arbitrary integer ,
Thus the variance is one and the covariance depends only on lag, proving weak stationarity. Independence or normality of the amplitudes is unnecessary. Since
the spectral measure of a random harmonic oscillation assigns mass to each of . The corresponding right-continuous time-series spectral distribution is
These spectral atoms represent a persistent oscillation. There is no ordinary absolutely continuous spectral density for this process.
