Simply knowing that the result is gaussian, though, is enough to allow one to predict the parameters of the density. This distribution is useful in many problems, for example radar and communication systems. One of the main reasons for that is the central limit theorem clt that we will discuss later in the book. The circular symmetry assumption implies these two parts are uncorrelated and identically distributed.
