White-Noise-new

What is white noise?

In communication systems, the noise is an error or undesired random disturbance of a useful information signal, introduced before or after the detector and decoder. The noise is a summation of unwanted or disturbing energy from natural and sometimes man-made sources.
Noise is, however, typically distinguished from interference, (e.g. cross-talk, deliberate jamming or other unwanted electromagnetic interference from specific transmitters), for example in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SNIR) measures. Noise is also typically distinguished from distortion, which is an unwanted alteration of the signal waveform, for example in the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD). In a carrier-modulated passband analog communication system, a certain carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) at the radio receiver input would result in a certain signal-to-noise ratio in the detected message signal. In a digital communications system, a certain Eb/N0 (normalized signal-to-noise ratio) would result in a certain bit error rate (BER).





In figure 1 shows a communication system where the channel experiences attenuation, time delay (precisely known) and additive noise. Most disturbances, interference, attenuation, etc. are usually classified as noise. The most important type of noise that occur in communication system is said to be “white noise”, n(t) that will be discuss later.







Thermal noise

Johnson–Nyquist noise (sometimes thermal, Johnson or Nyquist noise) is unavoidable, and generated by the random thermal motion of charge carriers (usually electrons), inside an electrical conductor, which happens regardless of any applied voltage.
Thermal noise is approximately white, meaning that its power spectral density is nearly equal throughout the frequency spectrum. The amplitude of the signal has very nearly a Gaussian probability density function. A communication system affected by thermal noise is often modeled as an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.
The root mean square (RMS) voltage due to thermal noise, generated in a resistance R (ohms) over bandwidth Δf (hertz), is given by
                                                                  


Where 
kB is Boltzmann's constant (joules per kelvin)
T is the resistor's absolute temperature (kelvin).






In figure 2 shows a thermal noise detection procedure by taking across the terminal of resistance through a sensitive ac voltmeter or by a oscilloscope.

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Control Systems/Gain

By Ashik
What is Gain? Gain is a proportional value that shows the relationship between the magnitude of the input to the magnitude of the output signal at steady state. Many systems contain a method by which the gain can be altered, providing more or less "power" to the system. However, increasing gain or decreasing gain beyond a particular safety zone can cause the system to become unstable. Consider the given second-order system: We can include an arbitrary gain term, K in this system that will represent an amplification, or a power increase: In a state-space system, the gain term k can be inserted as follows: The gain term can also be inserted into other places in the system, and in those cases the equations will be slightly different.   Example: Gain Here are some good examples of arbitrary gain values being used in physical systems: Volume Knob On your stereo there is a volume knob that controls the gain of your amplifier circuit. Higher levels of v...
