NOISE
Noise
The information signal received at the receiver is invariably be
1) Attenuation in channel
2) Non-Linearity in Channel
desired information.
External Noise
Internal Noise
Noise generated from entities which are far distant places are
called Extra Terrestrial Noise.
Solar Noise -
Noise due to reactions in SUN, Usually at 6000oC noise is
radiated continuously over wide frequency spectrum
Magnitude of this Noise increase after every 11 years and
changes periodically
Extra Terrestrial Noise
Cosmic Noise -
Noise due to distant stars ( Heated bodies) radiates signal
over wide range of Frequency
Also called BLACK BODY NOISE
Noise present upto several Ghz.
Man Made Noise -
Automobile Ignition
Air Craft Ignition
Electrical Welding
Industry Noise
Internal Noise
by τk where -∞<k<∞.
It is assumed that random emissions of electrons have been
going on for a long time. Thus total current flowing through the
photo detector may be modeled as,
X(t)= -----1
Where is the current pulse generated at τk . The process is
stationary process & called Shot Noise.

The mean square value of the noise current generator is
Suppose that a white Gaussian noise w(t) of zero mean and power
spectral density No/2 is applied to an ideal LPF of bandwidth B and
pass band amplitude response of one.
The power spectral density of the noise n(t) appearing at the filter
output is there fore,
SN(f)=
The auto correlation function of n(t) is the inverse Fourier transform
of the power spectral density as shown in fig a. and the auto
correlation function is plotted as shown in fig b.

RN(τ)= No.B.Sinc(2Bτ)

Next suppose that a white Gaussian noise w(t) of zero mean and
power spectral density No/2 is applied to an RC LPF where the
transfer function of filter is
H(f) =
The power spectral density of the noise n(t) appearing at the output
of RC LPF is there fore,
SN(f)=

RN(τ)=
Noise Equivalent Bandwidth
Considering the 02 examples the average output noise power is
NoB and No/4RC.
Here again average noise power of filter is proportional to
Bandwidth.
We may generalize this to include all kinds of low pass filters by
defining a noise equivalent bandwidth as follows. If white noise
applied to input of filter of transfer function H(f). The resulting
average output noise power is therefore,
Nout=
