Noise Generators

Abstract

Noise has been studied extensively in the literature because noise reduction is one of the major goals. A more compelling reason for the study of noise is its potential application in real life. These applications encompass biomedical engineering, electronic circuits, communication systems, cryptography, computers, electro‐acoustics, geosciences, instrumentation, and reliability engineering. This article addresses the various noise generation techniques and implementing them in analog and digital circuit technology and concludes with a discussion of typical applications.

An Implementation of a Spike-Response Model With Escape Noise Using an Avalanche Diode

“…A review of techniques for creating noise sources can be found in [16]; however, few are suitable for very-large scale-integrated (VLSI) implementation. Alspector et al [17] required a noise source for a modified Boltzmann machine VLSI implementation but found that although amplifying the thermal noise of a resistor was a good source of noise, highfrequency oscillations caused the noise generators to correlate.…”
