Common noises in communication 2.5 Common noises in communication Key points of this section: White noise Gaussian noise Error function Complementary error function Gaussian white noise Narrowband Gaussian noise Narrowband system Sinusoidal signal plus narrowband Gaussian noise This section introduces several types of noises, which are often used in the theoretical analysis of communication systems. Practical statistical and analytical studies have proved that the characteristics of these noises are consistent with the characteristics of specific channels. 2.5.1 White noise One of the noises often encountered in communication systems is white noise. The so-called white noise means that its power spectrum density function is constant in the entire frequency domain [pic], that is, it obeys a uniform distribution. It is called \"white\" noise because it is similar to white light in optics, which includes all visible light frequencies. Any noise that does not meet the above conditions is called colored noise. The power spectrum density function of white noise is usually defined as | ||[pic] (2-22) || In the formula, [pic] is a constant with a unit of W/Hz. If a single-sided spectrum is used, that is, the frequency is within the range of ([pic]), the power spectrum density function of white noise is often written as ||[pic] (2-23) || According to the relevant theories of signal analysis, the power spectrum density of the power signal and its autocorrelation function [pic] are Fourier transform pairs, that is, ||[pic] (……
