Introduction
• Any system (wired or wireless) receives and generatesunwanted signals
• Natural phenomena or man-made (Noise)
• Unwanted signals from other systems (Interferences)
•
Man-made Noise: due to other subsystems (e.g.; powersupply)
• Natural Noise: due to random movements and agitation of
electrons in resistive components (e.g., due totemperature)
We focus on system thermal noise!

Thermal Noise Characteristics
• Thermal noise due to agitation of electrons• Except at absolute zero temperature, the electrons in
every conductor (resistor) are always in thermal motion
• Function of temperature
•
Present in all electronic devices and transmissionmedia
• Cannot be eliminated
• Particularly significant for satellite communication•
The Sun contributes to the thermal noise at the receiver

Spectral Power Density of (white)
Noise• Amount of thermal noise to be found in abandwidth of 1Hz in any device or conductoris:
• N 0 = noise power density (in watts) per 1 Hz ofbandwidth
• k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.3803 ! 10-23 J/K (or W/
(K.Hz))
•
T = temperature, in kelvin (absolute temperature)
• Note Watt = J/sec = J.Hz

Thermal or White Noise
• From the plot of the spectral density of thermal noise overfrequency, can see that the noise is flat frequency
spectrum till around 100GHz or so and starts to fall off at
around 1TeraHz

Thermal Noise Model
• At any temperature, thermal motion of electrons result inthermal noise
• This is due to difference between the resistor’s terminals
• The thermal noise source in the resistor delivers a
power to the load (watt)
• Or in Watt/Hz: We call this noise power density :

Modeling the Thermal
Noise (Open Circuit – No Load) • The noise generated due to temperature T by a resistivecomponent has normalized power spectrum (also called
mean-square voltage spectrum): 2RkT(V^2/Hz)
• k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.3803 ! 10-23 J/K
•
T = temperature, in kelvin (absolute temperature)• Therefore the average power that a voltage or current
source can deliver (available) is: 2RkT.2B=4RkTB (V^2)
• The RMS voltage equivalent of the thermal noise will be
V rms = AveragenoisePower = 4kTRB V ( )Example A: Calculate the open-circuit Vrms reading when we connect a true RMSvoltmeter to a 100Kohm resistor at room temperature (20 deg. C) with BW=1MHz to
measure the generated thermal noise. Draw the equivalent circuit.

System Noise Figure (F)
F = SNRi / SNRo
=1+Te
To
• The most basic definition of noise figure came intopopular use in the 1940’s when Harold Friis defined the
noise figure F of a network to be the ratio of the signal-to-
noise power ratio at the input to the signal-to-noise power
ratio at the output.

Eb = S . Tb = W x Sec / bit = Energy (J) / bit
• Given a value for E b /N 0 to achieve a desired error rate,
parameters of this formula can be selected
• As bit rate R increases, transmitted signal power must
increase to maintain required E b /N 0

Other Types of Noise
• Intermodulation noise – occurs if signals with differentfrequencies share the same medium
• Interference caused by a signal produced at a frequency thatis the sum or difference of original frequencies
• Crosstalk – unwanted coupling between signal paths
• Impulse noise – irregular pulses or noise spikes• Short duration and of relatively high amplitude
• Caused by external electromagnetic disturbances, or faultsand flaws in the communications system
Question: Assume the impulse noise is 10 msec. How manybits of DATA are corrupted if we are using a Modem operating
at 64 Kbps with 1 Stop bit?
64000 x 7/8 = 56000 bit / sec56000 x .01 = 560 data bits effected
