Study Notes

Noise in Communication Systems

  • Noise is any unwanted introduction of energy tending to interfere with the proper reception and reproduction of transmitted signals.
  • Noise can be categorized into two types: Correlated Noise (present when signal is also present) and Uncorrelated Noise (present regardless of signal).

External Noise

  • External Noise is a noise whose sources are external, or noise introduced from outside the system.
  • Types of External Noise include:
    • Atmospheric Noise (caused by lightning discharges in thunderstorms and other natural electrical disturbances occurring in the atmosphere)
    • Extraterrestrial Noise (includes Solar Noise and Cosmic Noise)
    • Industrial Noise (man-made noise between 1 to 600 Mhz, most intense in industrial and densely populated areas)

Thermal Agitation Noise

  • The power of Thermal Agitation Noise is given by the formula: Pn = kTB
  • Where: k = Boltzmann's constant, T = absolute temperature, B = bandwidth of interest
  • The rms noise voltage generated by the resistor is given by the formula: Vn = √(4kTB/R)

Shot Noise

  • The rms shot noise current is dependent on the current flowing instead of the temperature in a diode.
  • The rms shot noise current is given by the formula: In = √(2qidcB)

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio is a measure of the power of the signal relative to the power of the noise.
  • It is usually expressed in decibels (dB).

Noise in Amplifiers

  • The noise output of a resistor is amplified by a noiseless amplifier.
  • The rms noise voltage at the input to an amplifier can be calculated using the formula: Vn = √(4kTB/R)

Noise in Television Receivers

  • The front end of a television receiver consists of an amplifier followed by a mixer.
  • The noise voltage at the input of the television receiver can be calculated using the formula: Vn = √(4kTB/R)

Noise Reduction

  • Internal Noise can be easily evaluated mathematically and can be reduced to a great extent by proper design.
  • External Noise cannot be reduced except by changing locations of the receiver or the entire system.
