I am looking for the autocorrelation function for a specific kind of
square
wave.    I need the autocorrelation function for a square wave with a
variable duty cycle and a random phase shift along the period with
amplitude -1 to 1.

The autocorrelation function for a square wave with .5 duty cycle is a
triangle wave varying between 0 and .5, repeating every period.

Numerically, I have been able to find the autcorrelation function for a
square wave with greater than and less than .5 duty cycles.  The
functions
look similar to a triangle wave, except that they have flat portions
instead
of peaks on the low part of the graph.

Any help or information will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
