3.6 Noise
Introduction
Noise is specified by the following parameters:
 Amplitude/Offset or High/Low Level
 Probability Density Function (PDF)
Characteristics
The probability of seeing a specific output level can be defined by the PDF.
 Gaussian distribution with a crest factor of 3.1
 Gaussian distribution with a crest factor of 4.8
 Gaussian distribution with a crest factor of 6.0
 Gaussian distribution with a crest factor of 7.0
User defined distribution by the ARB waveform. In this case the waveform
defines how often a level will occur relative to all the others. The more often
a specific level appears in the waveform memory, the higher the probability
to see it in the generated noise signal.
Restrictions
Noise does not have the following parameters
 Period
 Frequency
Therefore, it has the following restrictions:
 No modulation at all
 No frequency sweep
 No burst
