Noise temperature — In electronics, noise temperature is one way of expressing the level of available noise power introduced by a component or source. The power spectral density of the noise is expressed in terms of the temperature (in kelvins) that would produce… … Wikipedia
Additive synthesis — is a technique of audio synthesis which creates musical timbre.The timbre of an instrument is composed of multiple harmonics or partials , in different quantities, that change over time. Additive synthesis emulates such timbres by combining… … Wikipedia
Noise figure — (NF) is a measure of degradation of the signal to noise ratio (SNR), caused by components in a radio frequency (RF) signal chain. The noise figure is defined as the ratio of the output noise power of a device to the portion thereof attributable… … Wikipedia
Noise shaping — is a technique typically used in digital audio, image, and video processing, usually in combination with dithering, as part of the process of quantization or bit depth reduction of a digital signal. Its purpose is to increase the apparent signal… … Wikipedia
Noise (audio) — Noise in audio, recording, and broadcast systems refers to the residual low level sound (usually hiss and hum) that is heard in quiet periods of a programme. In audio engineering, it can refer either to the acoustic noise from loudspeakers, or to … Wikipedia
Noise measurement — is carried out in various fields. In acoustics, it can be for the purpose of measuring environmental noise, or part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialised form of test signal. In electronics it relates to the sensitivity … Wikipedia
Noise (electronics) — Electronic noise [1] is a random fluctuation in an electrical signal, a characteristic of all electronic circuits. Noise generated by electronic devices varies greatly, as it can be produced by several different effects. Thermal noise is… … Wikipedia
Additive white Gaussian noise — Explanation= In communications, the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel model is one in which the only impairment is the linear addition of wideband or white noise with a constant spectral density (expressed as watts per hertz of… … Wikipedia
Noise — This article is about noise as an unwanted phenomenon. For other uses, see Noise (disambiguation). NASA researchers at Glenn Research Center conducting tests on aircraft engine noise in 1967 In common use, the word noise means any unwanted … Wikipedia
Noise reduction — For sound proofing, see soundproofing. For scientific aspects of noise reduction of machinery and products, see noise control. Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. All recording devices, both analogue or digital, have… … Wikipedia
Noise floor — This article is about physics term. For the Bright Eyes album, see Noise Floor (Rarities: 1998 2005). In signal theory, the noise floor is the measure of the signal created from the sum of all the noise sources and unwanted signals within a… … Wikipedia
