These cosines multiplicatively decompose concentration ellipses for second-order filtering and additively decompose the information rate for the Gaussian channel. More over, they establish a geometrical connection between error covariance, error rate, information rate, and principal angles. There is a limit to how small these angles can be made, and this limit determines the channel capacity.Read More
