NOISE

DIKSHA PRAKASH

What is NOISE?
In electrical terms, noise maybe defined as
unwanted form of energy which tend to
interfere with proper reception and
reproduction of the transmitted signals.

Various Daily-life Examples:

In radio receivers, noise may produce hiss
type of a sound in the output of the
loudspeaker.

In TV receivers, noise may produce

snow.

NOISE

ATMOSPHERIC NOISE/ STATIC NOISE

Produced by lightening discharges in thunderstorm and other
natural electrical disturbances.

EXTRA TERRESTRIAL NOISE/ SOLAR NOISE

SOLAR NOISE
Sun, being at very high temperature, radiates electrical energy in the
form of noise. It happens at the peak of eleven year cycle.

COSMIC NOISE
Noise received from distant stars, our galaxy and various other
galaxies.

INDUSTRIAL NOISE
Man-made noise due to sources like automobiles, aircraft ignition,
electric motors etc.

SHOT NOISE
Arises in active devices due to random behaviour of charge carriers.
Fluctuating/shot noise current

PARTITION NOISE
Noise generated when current has to divide between two or more
paths in a circuit.

FLICKER NOISE/ LOW FREQUENCY NOISE/ PINK NOISE

Flow of current at low frequencies produces this particular type of
noise.

TRANSIT TIME NOISE/ HIGH FREQUENCY NOISE

Increase in conductance with increase in frequency causes this type
of noise.

THERMAL NOISE/ JHONSON NOISE

The noise produced in resistor with increase in absolute temperature.
