The noise bandwidth is equal to 1.12 times the -3dB bandwidth, or BN ≈ 1.12xB-3dB
System Noise
Thermal noise has a flat frequency spectrum; that is, the noise power per unit bandwidth is a constant
The noise power per unit bandwidth is termed the noise power spectral density. Denoting this by N0 and is given as
The noise temperatures of various sources which are connected together can be added directly to give the total noise.
