Noise Definition and 503 Threads

Hi I'm using accelerometer & horizontal gyroscope in order to replace GPS. Now, I'want to model the noise with first order markov process, to use it in kalman filter. I recorded measurement on all axes and computed auto-correlation. This picture represents auto-correlation on one of axes...

Hi all! I have this problem: I have some data that come from a negative binomial distribution with unknown parameters and some additive noise with gaussian distribution of known parameters. What is the best way to remove the noise from the distribution of the data? I tried bot a very basic mean...

How should I gauge noise on a RS485 line? (2 equal and opposite data lines and a shield line) I tried connecting a Oscope. Persumably however the same noise is appearing on all 3 lines. So if I attach my oscope probe to 1 of the data lines, and the ground to shield all the noise will be...

Homework Statement A simplified model of ADC noise refers the noise to a noisy source resistance Rn while assuming the rest of the signal path to be noiseless. Figure 3 represents a particular 18-bit ADC that has a 10 V input voltage range. The ADC has a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Calculate the...

Hello, I am moving into a new house, remodeling, etc. & am installing a new A/C compressor and radon fan. Being that low frequency noise highly bothers me & affects my insomnia quite a bit, I am trying to look at all considerations regarding acoustics, mechanical sound propagation properties...

I am trying to reduce the noise created from a machine that makes contact (impact) with a thin plate. I just don't have anyone to bounce ideas off of. I can change the support geometry to whatever I want as long as it will with stand a static load and the impact. I can handle this, but the...

From my research I am showing that if an input signal becomes too slow (ie: a low slew rate) then the noise can cause multiple state changes. But I am being told that if the slew rate is low then it will get rid of unwanted noise. I read my results from this: (I lost the link but I did copy...

Hello I have many problems to understand Noise , Noise figure , Shot noise and etc and I have to know completely about calculate Noise to calculate BJT , Mosfet and Block diagram amplifier. I will appreciate that you suggest a good book about Noise with simple steps Thanks

Hi, Can anybody explain to me what the major noise issues are with mems closed loop accelerometers

I live in a second floor apartment and I am having trouble with floor noise. I just moved in this week and the guy below me has already yelled from his room a few times to "Go to bed, son of a bit**". Well, the problem with that is 1) I was only walking through my bedroom, 2) it was 8 at night...

I'm curious as to why I can hear traffic noise sometimes and not others. The busy hwy is about a mile away across a field. Sometimes it sounds like it is at my door but other times I can't hear it but still see a lot of traffic. How does environmental conditions (temp, no wind, etc) affect the...

I just noticed this and it is crazy. I have a little speaker that I plug into my computer. it is being charged by the usb port. I got up and turned off the fan in my room and I heard a popping noise. It worried me a bit, so I turned the fan back on (no noise), then I turned it off and I heard...

When I observe the UV light emitted, I can literally see the millions of photons appear and die within milliseconds, but nobody else around me can. When I observe IF light sources and transmitters in low light, it is the same characteristic, except there only appears to be to photon sources, and...

Okay I have a question involving calculating the FFT of a signal from a sensor. I have simulated many different scenarios in MATLAB of various noise characteristics involving the signal. I want to take the FFT of a noisy signal. As long as my expected input signal has a higher amplitude than...

hi I read an article about stochastic error modeling, and I didn't understand this extract about error sources : how can the "rate random walk" be present, while the gyroscope directly angular rate ? the article's title is : "Stochastic Modeling of MEMS Inertial Sensors " by Petko Petkov and...

I am using a circuit attached as image and the AC analysis is working perfectly. Output is at the netlist of the AD8139 pin 5. The noise analysis showing the error : *Analysis directives: .AC DEC 10 10 1g .NOISE V19 V[N08184] 30 -------$ ERROR(ORPSIM-16291): Must be independent source (I or V)...

Hello there, I'm working with the textbook by Wim van Etten, "Introduction to Random Signals and Noise". And right now I'm preparing for an exam in a stochastic processes course. I have a question regarding some noise calculations, that I just can't wrap my head around. I hope someone will be...

Hi Folks, I have an article which explains the modulation of 2 signals given by X_1(f) e^{-j 2 \pi f t_i} and X_2(f) e^{-j 2 \pi f t_i} The only difference between the 2 signals is a time delay, however i don't see a phase difference in either expression It states the convolution of these...

I need this information for a simulation I am working on that involves optical photon detectors. Specifically, I need a rough figure for how many photons a photon detector would register per second if I were to place it in ambient light from the sun. I realize that this number depends on the...

Homework Statement (\partial_t - A\nabla^2 + B)f(x) = \eta(x, t) So I have a homogeneous linear differential equation except for an added noise term ##\eta(t) ##. The noise is uncorrelated between times and has a Gaussian distribution with zero mean. That is we have Gaussian white noise...

In particular I am wondering about compressor blades, but it's an interesting question to pose for household type fans as well. We can imagine "waterwheel" type schemes, and also the more traditional schemes where the axis of rotation is parallel to the flow. Which produces more noise per...

I am to choose a certain type of jet fan in a parking garage. Looking at a spesific one, what I'm having a hard time considering is the noise it generates - 78 dB (A) at 3 m - and whether it would within acceptable limits? This is a fan that you would pass underneath walking to or from your car...

What is the frequency of mains electric noise in the uk?

I am confused about very fundamental question. Why does the rms value of number of electrons collected from a signal(like in photoconductor) gives you the noise in that signal.

I'm struggling to compute the noise voltage due to the thermal noise on the resistors of an op-amp circuit, configured as a t-network. If it were a single feedback resistor, the noise voltage referenced to the output (RTO)would be given by sqrt(4KTRB). I'm not sure how to combine them...

it is my understanding that the input referred noise current (density) can be obtained from Ibias via inoise=sqrt(2*q*Ibias), where q=1.6e-19. on op-amp datasheets, both Ibias and the input referred noise current are both specified. Yet, the value typically shown for the noise current...

As you drive with your windows open you can hear a sound due to some continuous stream of air that is hitting your face, or whatever. But why is it then, that when you drive past by some obstacle, like a tree, you hear a swooshing noise? What is causing this?

Could you define what propulsion type this one vehicle uses by noise it makes?

I am looking to filter the human voice from enviornmental noise (engine/machinery noise). I was doing some digging and the human voice is between 300 and 10,000 Hz, unfortunatly some of the engine noise is in the same frequency. I could build a bandpass filter and at least eliminate some of...

http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/oceanNoiseGenerator.php how are they making these sounds? it sound a lot better than just pink noise and brown noise...

First I want to mention that I am not super good at maths and that I wasn't even sure if this was the right sub forum to post in (please move this to another one if that's the case). I am working on a 2D game in python where the player plays on an infinite map. Of course that means that the...

Not really sure where this belongs... But here goes: If you illuminate a photo diode it generates a current because electrons are being emitted from its cathode. Since each emission is however an independent stochastic process the output current will be subject to fluctuations, which can be...

Can someone go over the pink noise algorithm for ? I am not really understand how to make pink noise this is what I did : for (int n = 0; n < sampleCount; n++) { Frequency_Start = rnd1.Next(8); Frequency_End = Frequency_Start * 2...

I never heard of the CSHS Inequality until I read it in another thread. The other interesting item was this: I think an important part of that discussion is the more hits are ignored, the easier it is for local realistic theories to score over 2.00. So I just had to try. For those familiar...

I frequently see the following circuit being used as a noise generator: ... where the transistors are basic npn bipolar transistors. Some authors attribute the noise to shot noise while others say it is avalanche noise. How do I determine which is correct?

I need to run a signal through a configuration so that it has a gain of 1/2. I'm trying to figure out what the best way to minimize the noise for a low frequency input. So far I've only really thought of 3 ways to do this: 1. Voltage divider into a voltage follower 2. Measure the input so...

Homework Statement I need some help with the following problem (from an old exam): A 16-bit single-ramp ADC has a sampling interval of T=1 μs and an input voltage range of 0 to 10V. Since for this ADC the input must be positive, its design includes a fixed DC input of 5 V upon which...

Water level assumed constant. Static state model \(P_0 = 1000\), system noise \(Q = 0.0001\), measurement noise \(R = 0.1\). I want to use Kalman filtering to solve this problem. I know how to do this but I need to generate \(\mathbf{y} = y\) using Gaussian random noise. \(P_0\) is also call...

What does a first / second / nth order frequency mean physically?

Having found a datasheet for a particular component, I have to find the noise voltage and current spectral density. In the datasheet I have values like RTI for a gain of 1000 and Rs=0, but I need to find values for when gain G=100 and for different values of frequency. Does anyone know how to...

I have a 300 foot cable with multiple conductors one is broken what I want is an idea how to generate signal that could be picked up by am radio? Was thinking of trying a crt monitor with copper windings around the outside with one end tied to cable do not know if this would work or some way to...

What is signal to noise ratio ? And how do I calculate it with the wiener filter?

When speaking of filtering noise of an input or output, are the texts referring to the actual electrical components of a digital pid controller? Capacitors, resistors etc...

I want to develop a new model for calculating the frequency of thermal radiation. It is generally accepted that thermal radiation emits white noise with all the frequencies within a certain bandwidth. But when white noise interferes with communication systems, it is carried on what is known as a...

I'm trying to measure the thermal white noise generated by chemical batteries. So far I've measured the current noise, the voltage noise (V noise) and the bandwidth (delta v). From the equation below, I'm trying to solve the equation for the frequency. The problem is that there's an...
