Figure 6-37: CCDF of white noise

The CCDF trace indicates the probability that a level will exceed the mean power. The

level above the mean power is plotted along the x-axis of the graph. The origin of the

axis corresponds to the mean power level. The probability that a level will be exceeded

is plotted along the y-axis.
