My Math Forum Cross-correlation function problem

The idea I thought of is to apply Fourier transform to cross-correlation function and to the first time function to evaluate spectrum of the second function and then obtain the function itself by applying inverse Fourier transform to the spectrum. But I didn't manage to do it technically. I believe it has a simple solution like comparison of two time series, say by applying trigonometric relations to cross-correlation function we have: ${C_{12}}{\left(\tau\right)}=\frac{3}{2}+\frac{3}{4 } sin {\sigma}t+\frac{3}{4} sin 3{\sigma}t$. Then it can be assumed that the second function should include some constant and two sinusoids with frequencies of ? and 3?, but again I don't know how to solve it technically. Unfortunately I have no answer to the problem, so please could anyone help me to solve it?
