Noise

• Does not convey any useful information.


• Extraneous disturbances generated in the measuring system itself or
coming from outside. This give rise to a background against which a
signal may be read.
• There are many sources of noise. Noise may originate at the primary
sensing device, in a communication
Noise

Common sources of noise


• Stray electrical and magnetic fields present in the neighbour hood of the
instruments produce extraneous signals which tend to distort the original
signal. The effects of this can be minimized by adequae shielding or
relocation of the components of the instruments
• Mechanical shocks and vibrations and this can be eliminated by proper
mounting devices
• Resistors generate thermal agitation noise due to the thermal motion of
electron in the interior. this increase with increase in the temperature of
resistor. This is called Johnson noise
• The noise may also originate from the use of vacuum tubes
• It is desirable to keep the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) as high as possible
to accurately measure the wanted signal.
• In amplyfying system, the signal to noise ratio sets an upper limit to
amplification. Thus the wanted signal cannot be amplified to the extent as
we want it to be on account of the fact that the noise is also amplified by
the same ratio as the original signal.
• Another issue is that the signal has to read against the backeground of
amplifier noise

An amplifier operating on a frequency range from 18 to 20 MHz has a 10 kilo Ohm
input resis. Find the rms noise voltage at the input to this amplifier if the ambient
temperature is 27degree
Calculate the rms noise voltage at the input of a video amplifier using a device
having 300 ohms equivalent noise resistance and 400 ohms input resistor. It is given
that the bandwidh of the amplifier is 7MHz and the ambient temperature is 27
degree centigrade
A mixer stage has a noise figure of 20dB and it is preceeded by an nother amplifier
with a noise figure of 9dB and an available power gain of 15dB. Calculate the overall
noise figure referred to the input

Friss Formulae
If each stage has a gain of 10dB and noise figure of 10dB, determine the
Overall noise figure of a two stage cascaded amplifier
Friis's formula
• Friis's formula is used to calculate the total noise factor of a cascade of
stages, each with its own noise factor and power gain (assuming that
the impedances are matched at each stage). The total noise factor can
then be used to calculate the total noise figure. The total noise factor is
given as

where Fi and Gi are the noise factor and available power gain, respectively, of the
i-th stage, and n is the number of stages. Both magnitudes are expressed as
ratios, not in decibels.

The power Spectrum density
Is defined as the noise power per unit of frequency bandwidth.

Sn= Pn/ f = kT
It represents the noise energy generated per cycle of vibratory motion

Noise Factor is the measure of degradation of the signal to noise ratio
in a device. It is the ratio of the Signal to Noise Ratio at the input to
the Signal to Noise Ratio at the output.

Since the signal to noise ratio at the Where,


output will always be lower than the
Signal to Noise ratio at the input, the Sin = Signal level at input
Noise Factor is always less than 1. Nin = Noise level at input
The Lower Noise Factors results in
better performance of a devices. Sout = Signal level at output
Nout = Noise level at output
The Noise Figure is Noise Factor expressed in decibels (dB). It can be calculated
by the following equation:

The Noise Figure is the parameter that is widely used to represent the noise
level in RF systems and devices. Since it is represented in a logarithmic scale, it
is easier to use than the Noise Factor.
