 Noise
Definitions of Noise:

• Noise is unwanted signal that affects wanted signal.

• Noise can broadly be defined as any unknown signal that affects
the recovery of the desired signal.
• Noise is an unwanted signal, which interferes with the original
message signal and corrupts the parameters of the message
signal. This alteration in the communication process, leads to
the message getting altered. It most likely enters at the
channel or the receiver.
Effect of noise

• Degrades system performance (Analog and digital)

• Receiver cannot distinguish signal from noise
• Efficiency of communication system reduces

Most common examples of noise are:

• Hiss sound in radio receivers

• Buzz sound amidst of telephone conversations
• Flicker in television receivers,
 Noise Sources

External Internal
Noise Noise

Atmospheric Industrial Extraterrestrial

Solar Noise Cosmic Noise

External Noise :
• It is due to Man- made and natural resources
• Sources over which we have no control such as thunders,
snow fall, lightning etc.
• Examples are Motors, generators, atmospheric sources.

Internal Noise:
• It is due to random movement of electrons in electronic
circuits
• Major sources are resistors, diodes, transistors etc.
• Thermal noise or Johnson noise and shot noise are examples.
Atmospheric Noise Or Static Noise:
• Caused by lighting discharges in thunderstorms
• The electrical impulses are random in nature and spread over most of
the RF spectrum used in broadcasting
• Atmospheric Noise consists of false radio signals and distributed over
wide range of frequencies
• Atmospheric noise is less severe about above 30 MHz

Industrial Noise: The noise is effective in industrial and densely populated area
• Automobile and aircraft ignition
• Leakage from high voltage line
• Heavy electric machine
• Fluorescent light etc.
• The noises are observable at frequencies in range of 1MHz to 600 MHz
Extraterrestrial Noise or Space Noise: Caused by radiation of RF noise by
sun and distant stars

• Solar Noise: Sun is large body at a very high temperature over 6000 0C
on the surface and radiates over a very broad frequency spectrum
which includes the frequencies we use for communication.
• Cosmic Noise: Distant stars are also suns and have high temperatures,
the radiate RF noise in the same manner as our sun.
• The noise received is called thermal (or black body) noise and is
distributed uniformly over the entire sky.
• This noise is observable at frequencies in the range of 8MHz to 1.43
GHz.
Types of noise

Thermal agitation noise (White Noise, Johnson noise, Electrical noise,

Thermal Noise Johnson–Nyquist noise) is unavoidable, and generated by Resistors.

Shot Noise Poisson Noise is due to the random movement of electrons and holes

Noise Noise temperature is an equivalent temperature that produces that amount

temperature of noise power 𝑇𝑒=𝑇(𝐹−1)

Pink noise/low frequency noise is inversely proportional to frequency,

Flicker Noise the noise effect will reduce for higher frequencies

It exists if the time taken by the electrons to travel from emitter to collector
Transit-time noise in a transistor is more, it increases with frequency and quickly dominates
other sources of noise
Concept to be remembered:

X(t) h(t) Y(t)

If Input signal x(t) is passed through some system h(t),then output

spectral density may expressed
𝑠𝑜 𝑓 = 𝑠𝑖 𝑓 |𝐻 𝑓 |2
Where 𝑠𝑜 𝑓 =output power spectral density
𝑠𝑖 𝑓 =input power spectral density
H(f)=Fourier transform of the system
A White noise is having one sided PSD is passed through a low pass filter
whose transfer function is specified as H(f)=2𝑒 −𝑗𝑓
The resulting is passed through low pass filter whose cut off frequency is B
Hz.Find output noise power

Solution:
If Input signal x(t) is passed through some system h(t),then output spectral
density may expressed
𝑠𝑜 𝑓 = 𝑠𝑖 𝑓 |𝐻 𝑓 |2
Where 𝑠𝑜 𝑓 =output power spectral density
𝑠𝑖 𝑓 =input power spectral density
H(f)=Fourier transform of the system

|𝐻 𝑓 |2 = |2𝑒 −𝑗𝑓 |2 =4| 𝑒 −𝑗2𝑓 | since | 𝑒 −𝑗2𝑓 |=1

Given that White noise is having one sided PSD (𝑠𝑖 𝑓 )=𝑁0
Therefore
𝑠𝑜 𝑓 = 𝑠𝑖 𝑓 |𝐻 𝑓 |2 = 𝑁0 4 =4 𝑁0

Solution:

So

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR or S/N)
SNR is the ratio of the signal power to noise power. The higher the value of SNR the
greater will be the quality of the received output.

Signal P𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 Ps V
SNR = = = 20 log10( s )
Noise Power Pn Vn

Average Power of modulating Signal

Input SNR = (SNR)𝐼 = Average Power of Noise Signal at input

Average Power of demodulated Signal

Output SNR = (SNR)𝑂 =
Average Power of Noise Signal at output

Average Power of modulated Signal

Channel SNR = (SNR)𝑐 =
Average Power of Noise in message bandwidth
Figure of Merit

• For the purpose of comparing different continuous wave modulation systems, we

normalize the receiver performance by dividing the output signal to noise ration by the
channel signal to noise ratio.

• The higher the value of the figure of merit, the better will the noise performance of the
receiver be.

• The figure of merit may equal one, be less than one, or be greater than one, depending
on the type of modulation used.

Noise Temperature
It calculates an equivalent temperature (Te) that would yield the same noise power at the
output via additional thermal noise.

It is important to realize that the noise temperature of a component describes the

additional noise that the component inserts onto a signal before it is amplified, as shown
in the figure below.

Noise temperature is an equivalent temperature that produces that amount of noise power
𝑇𝑒=𝑇(𝐹−1)
Noise Factor

• Noise temperature is an equivalent temperature that produces that amount of noise

power 𝑇𝑒=𝑇(𝐹−1)
