Noise Generator

Published in issue 316, December 2002

Noise Generator
The noise generator proposed here operates according to the digital principle, in contrast with the more classical noise generator, which usually employs the noise voltage of a base/emitter junction to generate the signal. The big difference between the method used here and the classical analogue design is that we are not generating a real noise voltage but a collection of discrete frequencies.
