The problem of calculating the probability density function of the output of anRCfilter driven by a binary random process with intervals generated by an equilibrium renewal process is studied. New integral equations, closely related to McFadden's original integral equations, are derived and solved by a matrix approximation method and by iteration. Transformations of the integral equations into differential equations are investigated and a new closed-form solution is obtained in one special case. Some numerical results that compare the matrix and iteration solutions with both exact solutions and approximate solutions based upon the Fokker-Planck equation are presented.
