&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rayleigh&amp;#039;s Theorem is derived from the equation for Energy&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}p(t)\,dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
If we assume that the circuit is a Voltage applied over a load then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; p(t)=\frac{x^2(t)}{R_L}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
for matters of simplicity we can assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;R_L = 1\, \Omega&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This leaves us with&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}|x|^2(t)\,dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
This is the same as the dot product so to satisfy the condition for complex numbers it becomes&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x(t)\,x^*(t)\,dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If we substitute &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,e^{j2\pi ft}\,df &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x^*(t)= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f&amp;#039;)\,e^{-j2\pi f&amp;#039;t}\,df&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Substituting this back into the original equation makes it&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,e^{j2\pi ft}\,df\right) \,\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X^*(f&amp;#039;)\,e^{-j2\pi f&amp;#039;t}\,df&amp;#039;\right)\,dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X^*(f&amp;#039;)\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{j2\pi (f-f&amp;#039;)t}\,dt\right)\,df&amp;#039;\,df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The time integral becomes &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \delta (f-f&amp;#039;) \,which \ is\ 0\ except\ for\ when\ f&amp;#039; = f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This simplifies the above equation such that&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X^*(f&amp;#039;)\left(\delta (f-f&amp;#039;) \right)\,df&amp;#039;\,df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,X^*(f)\,df&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Proving that the energy in the time domain is the same as that in the frequency domain&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}X(f)\,X^*(f)\,df = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x(t)\,x^*(t)\,dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
