CHAPTER 1 (cont…)CHAPTER 1 (cont…)Part 2.1 Part 2.1 Noise Noise
Objectives• To differentiate the types of noise• To calculate the thermal noise
generated by a resistor• To calculate the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) and noise figure for an amplifier
Lecture overview
• Types of noise• Thermal noise• Signal-to-noise ration (SNR) and
noise figure
Introduction Noise can be defined as • undesired random variations that interface with the
desired signal and inhibit communication. Where does noise originate in a communication
system?• Channel @ transmission medium• Devices @ Equipments
Cont’d...Noise Effect• One of the main limiting factor in
obtaining high performance of a communication system.
• Decrease the quality of the receiving signal.
Block Diagram of Communication System With the Existence of
Noise
Cont’d...• Noise, interference and distortion
– Noise•Refers to random and unpredictable
electrical signals produced by natural process.
•Superimposed on information bearing signal, the message partially corrupted or totally erased.
•Can be reduced by filtering but can’t totally eliminated.
Cont’d...– Interference
•A contamination by extraneous signals from human sources (e.g. from other Tx, power lines, machineries)
•Often occurred in radio system whose Rx antenna intercept several signals at the same time.
Cont’d...– Distortion
•The signal perturbation caused by imperfect response of the system to the desired signal.
•Disappear when the signal is turned-off.
•Can be corrected by the equalizers.

Types of NOISE
Cont’d...
– Noise generated outside the electronic equipment used.
– Source can be terrestrial or extraterrestrial (E.g. the earth, the moon, the sun, the galaxies).
– Do not effect the entire communication frequency spectrum but affect certain frequencies at certain times and locations.
– Types: Man made noise, space noise, atmospheric noise.
Cont’d...a. Man made noise
o Produced by mankindo Source : Spark-producing mechanismso Impulsive in nature & contains a wide
range of frequencies propagated through space.
o Sometimes called industrial noise (metropolitan & industrial area).
Cont’d...b. Space noise
o The sun is a powerful source of radiation.
o Stars also radiate noise called cosmic, stellar or sky noise.
o Important at higher frequencies (VHF and above) because atmospheric noise dominates at lower frequencies.
Cont’d...c. Atmospheric noise
o The principle source is lightning ( a static electricity discharge.
oCan propagate for a long distances through space.
oThe lightning energy relatively low frequency (up to several MHz).
Cont’d...
- Electronic noise generated by the passive and active components incorporated in the designs of communications equipment.
- Types : Shot noise, flicker noise, thermal noise.
Cont’d...• Shot Noise
o Caused by a random arrival of carriers (holes and electrons) at the output of an electronic devices.
o Randomly varying & superimposed onto any signal present.
o Sometimes called transistor noise.
Cont’d...• Flicker noise
o Excess noise that related to dc current flow through imperfect conductors.
o The real nature of flicker noise not yet fully understood.
Thermal Noise• This type of noise arise due to the
random motion of free electrons in the conducting medium such as resistor.
• Each free electron inside a resistor is in motion due to its thermal energy.
• The path of electron motion is random and zig-zag due to collision with the lattice structure.
Cont’d...• The net effect of the motion of all
electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the resistor.
• It causes the rate of arrival of electron at either end of a resistor to vary randomly and thereby varies the resistor’s potential difference. That is the direction of current flow is random and has a zero mean value.
Cont’d...• Resistors and the resistance within
all electronic devices are constantly producing noise voltage Vn(t).
• Since it is dependent on temperature, it is also referred to as thermal noise.
• Thermal noise also known as Johnson noise or white noise.• In 1928, J.B. Johnson founded that Noise Power is direct
proportionally with temperature and bandwidth.
• Noise spectrum density is constant for all value of frequency to 1012 Hz.
•
Where Pn = noise power (Watt)k = Boltzman constant (1.38 x 10-23 J/K)T = conductor temperature (K) [Add 273 to C]B = Bandwidth of system (Hz)
Pn = k T B
• From the study of circuit theory, the relationship between source resistor and matched load under maximum power transfer is when Rn = RL .
• The total of noise source power is Pn.

Example 1
• A receiver has a BW of 10 kHz with the 4.14 x 10-17 W noise power. A resistor that matches the receiver input impedance is connected across its antenna terminals. Calculate the resistor’s temperature in Celsius.
Example 2• A 1 kΩ resistor is connected across
1 kΩ antenna input of a television receiver. The BW of the receiver is 5 MHz and the resistor at the room temperature 293 K. Calculate the noise power and noise voltage applied to the receiver input.
How to Quantifying the Noise?
• The presence of noise degrades the performance of analog and digital communication.
• The extent to which noise affects the performance of communication systems is measured by the output signal to noise power ratio or SNR (for analog communication systems) and probability of error (for digital communication systems).
Cont’d...• The signal quality at the input of the receiver is
characterized by the input signal to noise ratio. Because of the noise sources within the receiver, which is introduced during the filtering and amplification processes, the SNR at the output of the receiver will be lower than at the input of the receiver.
• This degradation in the signal quality is characterized in terms of noise equivalent bandwidth, N0, effective noise temperature, Te. and noise figure,F
Noise Calculation• SNR is ratio of signal power, S to noise power, N.
• Noise Factor, F
• Noise Figure, NF
