What is NOISE ?
Noise is the disturbance .
• It is an unwanted signal that corrupts the desired message signal.
• Electrical Noise is an unwanted signal that appears along with the Desired Electrical Signal and falls within the same frequency band as that of message signal.
• Noise signals are random signals. They are non-deterministic in nature.
• The desired deterministic signals can be modeled mathematically.
• However the non-deterministic signals must be studied completely so that they can also be represented mathematically.
• The noise gets added with the signal as shown below:
Categories of Noise •
Correlated – this noise the one which is present whenever message signal is present.
• Uncorrelated – this noise is the one which is present even if the signal is not present.
(Correlation means a relationship between message signal and noise)
Noise Types - Broad classification
1. External Noise
a. Atmospheric Noise (above 30 MHz)
b. Extraterrestrial noise (large spectrum covering all communication frequencies)
i. Solar noise
ii. Cosmic Noise
c. Industrial Noise (man-made noise) 1-600 MHz
2. Internal Noise (audio, RF & microwave frequency ranges)
a. Thermal Noise (Johnson Noise)
b. Shot Noise
c. Partition Noise
d. Flicker noise
e. Burst Noise
f. Transit time Noise
g. Avalanche noise
1. External Noise:
a. Atmospheric Noise
• The noise generated due to electrical disturbance within the earth’s atmosphere is called Atmospheric noise.
• This type of noise generates strange sounds such as sputtering, crackling, etc. in shortwave radio receivers.
• Atmospheric noise is also called static electricity.
• This static electricity is likely to be more severe but less frequent.
• They are just as impulses spreading noise energy in a wide range of frequencies.
• However, magnitude of this energy is inversely proportional to the frequency.
• Hence this noise can be ignored above 30 MHz.
• The main reason is line-of-sight propagation
b. Extraterrestrial Noise
• This extraterrestrial noise is generated outside the earth’s atmosphere.
• Hence this also called deep space noise.It originates from milky way, galaxy and the Sun.
• It is classified into two types as below:
i. Solar Noise:
• This is the noise that is generated directly from the Sun’s radiation.
• This occurs in quiet condition with constant-radiation intensity and high-
• Intensity radiation conditions (occurring every 11 years).
• This noise spreads over a large frequency spectrum including frequencies used for communication.
• All gases become Ionized due to radiation from the Sun producing noise in a wide range of frequencies.
ii. Cosmic Noise:
• Sources of cosmic noises are distributed throughout the galaxies continuously.
• Distant stars radiate intense noise signals that penetrate the earth’s atmosphere.
c. Man-made noise
• This is the noise generated due to human activities and creations.
• This type is noise falls between 1 to 600 MHz.
•The intensity of this noise is very high as compared to other internal or external noise to the receiver
Example
• Automobile and air-craft ignitions
• Electric motor and switching equipment
• Leakage from high-voltage lines
• Multitude effects of heavy electrical machines
2. Internal Noise
• This is the noise generated within the device or circuit.
• It can be the noise generated by active and passive devices found in the receiver circuits.
• This is generated in random and distributed over the entire radio frequency spectrum. • It can be statically observed.
• Random noise power is proportional to the bandwidth.
• They are classified as below:
• Thermal Noise (Johnson Noise), Shot Noise, Partition Noise, Flicker noise, Burst Noise, Transit time Noise & Avalanche noise
a. Thermal Noise (Johnson Noise, Gaussian Noise, White Noise) (Representation of the Relationship between Thermal Noise Power, Bandwidth and Temperature )
• It is generated by random motion of free electrons within a conductor.
• They are also the effects of molecular vibrations in resistive components.
• Free electrons possess kinetic energy and so heat exchange takes place
• between the conductor and the surroundings when they move across.
• This creates an unavoidable noise component as background for the electronic process.
• This also called Gaussian Noise because of its nature of distribution.
• It is also called White Noise since contains all spectral frequencies equally on an average.
• In FM receivers, when there is no incoming signal then this noise can be heard as “hiss” sound. (That’s why squelch circuits are used to suppress this noise in the receivers).
• The power associated with thermal noise is proportional to both temperature and bandwidth.
• Since it is due to the thermal reasons and they are also called Thermal Noise or Johnson noise after the discoverer.
• The average noise voltage across the conductor is zero. But the root mean square value (RMS)is finite and can also be measured.
• This RMS noise value is proportional to the resistance of the conductor (R), absolute temperature (T), and the frequency bandwidth (B).
• Mathematically the Relationship between Thermal Noise Power, Bandwidth and Temperature is given by
Pn = k*T*B
where Pn Noise power in Watts
k = Boltzmann’s constant 1.38x10 -23 Joules / Kelvin
T = Absolute temperature in Kelvin,
B = Bandwidth in HZ
b. Shot Noise (Transistor noise )
• Any DC current crossing a potential barrier in a random fashion results in shot noise.
• This occurs because the electrons and holes cannot cross the barrier simultaneously.
• Hence a random component is added with the DC current.
• Example:
• This noise occurs in BJTs due to the movement of electrons in random fashion from emitter to collector leading to shot. Hence this is also called Transistor noise.
• Shot noise has a flat frequency spectrum except in microwave frequency range.

where
• Shot noise current in rms in Amperes = In
• charge of an electron (1.6 x 10-19 Columbs) = qe
• DC current flowing through the device (amperes) = Idc
• system bandwidth (Hz) = B
c. Partition Noise
• This occurs when current has to divide between two or more electrodes.
• There is random fluctuations in the division.
• Hence a diode is less noisy than the BJT or FET.
• The frequency spectrum of partition noise is flat.
d. Flicker noise
• This occurs at low-audio frequency ranges. This noise spectral density increases as the frequency decreases. Hence this is sometimes called 1/f noise.
• It is proportional to emitter current and junction temperature.
• Mostly found in Transistors.
e. Burst Noise
• This is also low-frequency noise found in transistors.
• Source of this noise is not well-understood but it produces a kind of popping sound while present in audio system
f. Transit-time noise
• This noise is present due to the finite time taken by the electrons to move from emitter to collector. • This increases the noise input admittance of the device .
• It is determined from the carrier mobility, bias-voltage and the transistor construction.
• In a transistor, the carriers traveling suffer from time delays such as emitter transittime delay, base transit-time delay and collector recombination time.
g. Avalanche noise
• The reverse current in a reverse biased diode increases with slight increase in reverse bias voltage .
• Therefore the electrons and holes involve in ionizing more and more carriers from the atoms resulting in collisions.
• Theses collisions produce random spike noise and most often occur in zener diode. • This effect is called avalanche noise
