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
Radio source — can mean:* An astronomical radio source. * A radio transmitter. * The Radio Open Source podcast and blog.ee also* Radio noise source. * Source Radio, a radio station operating from Coventry, England … Wikipedia
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
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 (radio) — In radio reception, noise is the superposition of white noise (also called static ) and other disturbing influences on the signal, caused either by thermal noise and other electronic noise from receiver input circuits or by interference from… … 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 (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
